Can nuns wear stilettos?

To my faithful readers, I'm sorry to say that I did not fall in love on January 25th. I guess I should've followed Ashley's advice after all. I'm not too disappointed, however, because Spain does not offer the wide variety that America boasts, so I think I'll continue to live vicariously through my journal entries from this summer...Nora Roberts ain't got nuthin on me! Even better, I'll take Megan up on the offer she proposed today: "Let's be nuns." I think I'd be okay with the wimples and habits...maybe even the celibacy (who am I kidding).

So I talked with Natalie today. It was only for about a minute, but hearing her voice was all I needed. I love all of my Spanish friends dearly, but sometimes I need a reminder that there is indeed a world beyond the gates of CAS and the orange groves of Sagunto. Unfortunately, Nat and I didn't have the time to gloat over the Democratic majority, but we'll both fall asleep smiling, knowing that we're in control.

Today, though I can't fathom how I fit it in because my schedule is just bursting at its seams, I put some time into the numerous resumes and cover letters that I need to send out fairly soon. The deal is that I've pretty much decided that I'm going to change my major to biochem/pre-med, but the only thing that could convince me to keep my english/photography major is if I were to get an unlikely break in the magazine arena. There are a few internships that I'm looking into for this summer. I'm trying to give myself options by applying for positions in various departments, so we'll see what comes up. I'm applying for an editorial internship in the features/fashion department at Marie Claire and the editorial and photography/design departments at YES! magazine. The MC internship would, of course, put me in NYC for the summer, but the YES! position would place me in a house on an island only a ferry ride away from Seattle. YES! Magazine is, from what I understand, a project to educate the surrounding areas of the need for assistance in third world countries, the conflict in the Middle East, the poverty in America, etc. It's rather intensee, and it's definately a far cry from the vanity of MC, but sometimes ignoring our problems just isn't acceptable. I'm sure that I'll end up where I'm supposed to be, so I'm not really stressing about it...merely about getting my portfolios organized and sent off.

So that's it for today. I need to be well-rested for the flamenco extravaganza tomorrow evening. What can I say?...stomping and twirling really does it for me. Buenas!
