Heading South

It looks like Andy Bernard knows what he's talking about. I got the internship. :)

This summer, I'll write for the news section of this magazine (it might look familiar):


















And some of my stuff will also go on these glossy pages (look carefully — they're different):


















And if I understand correctly, I'll write a little bit for lds.org.

Can you say "Dream job"? Ryan's transferring to BYU and I'm graduating in April (yipee!) so we were headed South anyway. Also, if any of you know Ryan Kunz, I'll be doing the same internship he's doing right now. We'll move to Utah next April and live the BYU dream (even if I will be working mere inches from the U for the first few months) for the next three or four years until Ryan finishes his degrees.

Good thing we love Utah.

I didn't do it

.. at least, I don't think so. But I'm starting to think that my uncanny ability to unwittingly rid myself of roommates is bordering on phenomenal. Let me demonstrate my recent transformation into the apartment black widow:

September 2008: LeaDawn gets engaged. Roommate #1 = gone

November 2008: I agree to move into American Manor apartments with Madison, a friend of mine from Scroll.

Early December 2008: Madison's health takes a turn for the worse, and she defers classes for winter semester. Roommate #2 = not anymore

Mid-December 2008: I agree to move to Royal Crest with my friend Chanae Wilson. A week later, she gets an internship. And engaged. Yep, both. Peace out, roommate #3.

Late-December 2008: Becky Leach (who was going to live with me and Chanae) also gets a little sparkler for Christmas. So long, roommate #4.

The moral of the story? If you're looking for a dramatic change in life, sign up to be my roommate. Major life changes guaranteed (satisfaction not guaranteed — see roommate #2).
