Do you even just stop and think about everything that is going well in your life? Even when everything seems to be taking a turn for the worse, there is still so much going on that is good! I have to say that I am having an especially good week this week.

Today when I was lounging around, I got a call from Micron telling me that they had a position open up, and that they wanted to do a phone interview with me next week! Not only that but I would get a salary that is less than what they pay their full time employees, but still very comparable and competitive. They didn't give me a firm number for that (I imagine that they will determine that after the interview) but it sounds awesome. They also have different things going on for their interns (about 670 in total) that will go on over the course of the summer like BBQs and floating the river. Not only that, but it would be in Boise so I would be able to live at home and commute to Micron! This is sweet.

Other the other side of things, I have also been looking for an internship with a Christian organization where I can use my programming skills to do something worthwhile. I would probably not get paid much (and some internships are at companies that are so strapped for cash, that I would have to cover all of my own expenses), but I would have the opportunity to work for God and might even be able to work overseas.

So that is my predicament. My summer looks very promising, but I have to make the decision. Micron looks pretty close to being for sure, while the ministry internship is still way up in the air. I think that I am just going to wait as long as I can before making a decision, but it is going to be hard to turn down a good paying job in Boise, with a company that I have dreamed of working for since my last internship. Sigh.

Another good thing this week is that Danielle has been having a better time lately. She is sad about leaving later this month, and the alcohol didn't help much either. Overall, I think that she is dealing with things and enjoying herself more, but the bumps on the road are hard on her. I just wish that she would understand that leaving UI doesn't mean that we won't talk to her anymore. I mean... I still have to kick her butt at Solitaire Showdown!

And I kept my promise to myself of not drinking alcohol tonight. Lately, I have been feeling a lot of pressure to drink, not because people are pressuring me but because it seems like I am one of the last people on campus who doesn't drink. I was worried that I would tonight because I would just want to try it once, but I didn't. I guess every time that I went to do it I just chickened out and shied away. I am not sure what I am scared of, because there really is nothing to be scared of. I just didn't do it, and I am so proud of myself because of that.

And I can't forget about Amaris! Amaris is the first girl ever to do something with me on Valentines Day, but the problem is that I am not sure what I am going to do with her. Dinner and a movie is the tried and true fall back, but I want to make it better than that. I have a week and a few days to get my act together, but that doesn't mean that I will have creative genius between now and then. Sigh... we will see.

My trial of not using my laptop in class anymore seems to have been a success. I feel like I understand everything better, and my quiz scores from this week reflect that. I think the laptop is going to permanently stay away during class now.

Anyway, it is bedtime. Over and out.
