One of those days

It's been a good news, good news, bad news, good news kind of day...

Good news one: I've lost 7 pounds in the last week.
Good news two: I don't have the flu.
Bad news: I have mono.
Good news three: I was selected for a Congressional internship in DC from July 30 to September 7.

Copied from my facebook, cause, hey, it's easier that way...

I'll be working in the DC office of Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX26). I'm currently interning in one of his district offices, so this should be a good experience.

Congratulations.  Take care of that mono so you don't have after effects.  (sorry - it's the 'mom' in me that makes me state the obvious to people)

So an internship doesn't sound as fun as cowboying, but probably a good gig anyway.  :)

Awesome.  Congratulations.

Yeah, it probably won't be as fun, but I can always do it after.  :-)

Will do! Might be me and my girlfriend since we could possibly be moving to Delaware or Rhode Island over the summer.
