One More Thing!

Dear Blogger,

Things are a little hectic here.

Mostly, they're just busy, though.

I have these tedious daily journals I have to write each day and the first batch is due on Thursday... I'm eight days behind. And I have to read some articles about something or other for my directed study on Thursday, and another article for Friday. It'll get done, though.

Other than that, here's what happened since Saturday:

1. Two intense hours of David v. Steve, 007 style, Saturday afternoon... we're still friends, though.

2. James Gandolfini was robbed of best actor in a drama series by James Spader. (Who? Exactly!) But The Sopranos won best dramatic series, so it's all good. (And Rachel Smiths didn't win for Brothers & Sisters, but I feel like she probably should have, based on her work on Six Feet Under.)

3. Went to Wrigley Field last night with my friends. Cubs were winning, then they were losing, and then they won in the bottom of the ninth. I don't really care about the Cubs, and I don't care whether they win the division or not, but Wrigley Field is such a great ballpark. There's no imposing sound system playing a different pop song every thirty seconds, or useless jumbo-tron, or dancing mascots. It's just a ballpark, with baseball being played the way God intended it. (But the Cubs myth is a little over-hyped, but that's different.) You go to Wrigley Field to watch a baseball game, not to watch it.

4. My internship is turning itself around nicely, as far as I can tell. We've made some sort of schedule and structure for the program so that feels like it's going to work. I'm making friends with the kids, making friends with the people I work with. But my intern advisor at the Chicago Center wants me to work at another place in the morning, which I don't think will work at all. I might get stuck with extra work from him, which would be fine.

I'm still a little strapped for time, here... leaving for work in about ten minutes. I'll talk more about my intern next time, I realize I'm being kind of vague. So just wait.

Kisses,

Steve
