Tick-Tock

I'm not normally this impatient, but it has been so long since turning in my CLS application, and now that it's finally March and almost there... I can't take it anymore. And the worst part is that it's so competitive I've probably waited all this time, and built up all this anticipation for nothing.
I'd like to know what I'm doing for the summer. I'd like to know how many more applications I need to fill out. I abandoned the Teach Breakthroughs idea, because, well. No good reason I guess. If it's going to be that stressful, I'd rather it be in Portland.
PSU's website has a great list of newspaper internships available in Portland, unfortunately application deadlines are not listed anywhere. I find that strange for a business that thrives on deadlines. And I have so little actual experience in that direction. I have the photo portfolio I built up for my AP, but studio work I don't have much experience with. Or lighting. Maybe next year when I've taken more photo classes here, and have a professor I can ask for advice. Though next summer I can finally apply for a whole new range of scholarships... most don't want freshman.
It's almost Spring Break! Just one more week of school...
And for the first weekend, Ellie is coming to visit me! She and her boyfriend Tucker are roadtripping to Cali to spend time at the beach and they're going to hang out with me for a couple of days before heading home. We'll have to trip around a bit outside of Claremont, since most of the school will be gone, and therefore I have nothing interesting to show them. Pity. Maybe we'll go spend some time in the parks nearby. Joshua Tree isn't too far... We'll see. Whatever it is, it'll have to be cheap!
