"Nice ears"

So you may have noticed things have been a little quiet on here lately; I definitely don't have the number of posts in February as I typically do in a given month. That can partially be blamed on the fact that February is a short month, though the main reason is that I spent a week in Disney World! What! (If you follow me on Twitter, you probably know this already, since I tweeted about Howie Mandel complimenting me on my sparkly Minnie ears. It's a true story.) If you know me at all, you would know that I'm actually not a very big Disney fan (despite this being my second trip there in one year - but that other trip was technically a scouting trip for this trip... trip trip trip) but I was there to be in a wedding at the Grand Floridian resort, and there were several other events planned around it that stretched our trip into a full week. Okay, and I added on a day at the beginning to go to Kennedy Space Center (which was my absolute FAVORITE), and a day at the end to go to Universal Studios. Anyways, I'm not here to talk about my vacation but to give excuses as to my absence, so I move on.

Since returning, my time has been monopolized by all things interns. This Friday is the application due date, and what do you know - the applications are pouring in. As are the e-mails, phone calls, and personal visits... Right now, I basically serve to accept applications, answer questions, and give people directions how to find me. We don't have that many applications as of this moment, but with the amount of communication I've been getting, I expect a lot more to come flooding in in the next 48 hours.

Amongst the chaos, I've also been helping coordinate more shooting for the freshmen class video, planning upcoming alumni events for DC and Boston, prepping for the Big Shot in Texas in less than a month (which a small group of us is participating in this year), wrapping up a new undergraduate promotional brochure, and coordinating with the folks behind Science Exploration Days so that I may participate this year. Sooo, if you don't hear from me for a while.... I'm just a little busy multitasking. And while I'm still dishing out excuses, I might as well admit right now that the winter issue of the Imaging Connection which would normally be out right around now definitely won't be ready in time, or even anytime soon. Oh no! So that's enough blogging out of me; I've got a lot to do and better get to it!
