110 degrees...that was how high the heat advisory update I received said it would get this weekend. Really? It's so hard to function in this heat, I don't know if I can handle 2 more months...it needs to start cooling off sooner.
Summer classes are over and hopefully I made an A in my gender communication class. We find out grades later this week.
Here's an update on the internship front. I had an interview this past week with Texas Monthly magazine at their Austin office. It was definitely not what I expected to be doing for an internship but it sounds really interesting. Plus the staff in the office seem really nice! I'm still waiting to hear from 2 PR firms in the Austin area. Hopefully I can get an internship settled before classes start on the 25th.
Our apartment is coming along nicely! We went to Round Rock for Ashton's birthday and decided today to stop at IKEA and get some ideas. Well we ended up buying some curtains for our downstairs living room that I love! We just need some more wall decorations and we'll be done...and I need to print pictures from my trips to Peru and New York so I can put my picture frames back up.
After my interview, which was in Austin...in the middle of the afternoon...in August in Texas...lets just say I think my AC kicked the bucket again (or I just need freon but I don't know how to see about that). I decided it is definitely time for a new vehicle, my 1997 Honda Accord still runs really good but it's just getting to old and not running as well as a newer vehicle would. I'm starting the process of really looking for a car (not brand new of course, just newer than over a decade ago)...I'm aiming for mid-semester for the new vehicle. It would be great if I could get a car for graduation but I don't think that's going to happen, so I'm taking matters into my own hands. Right now I really want an SUV...I'm tired of not being seen by other drivers. I'm jumping between an Hyundai Tucson and a Nissan Rogue (or a Murano if I can find a could price for a used one). Hopefully I'll get to do some test driving when I go home in 2 weeks to see if I really want an SUV.
Well this week should be pretty dead at work...no classes and all. But staff will start coming back! Desaree, our grad assistant, will be back Monday! She has been in Argentina all summer working on her thesis. And they might start interviews this week, so who knows how this week will be.
Hope everyone enjoys their week and a half off before fall classes begin! Wish me luck on the internship and car situations!
