"It's Working" by Mgmt

Saturday: I really hate giving Teddy his meds, but I do want him to get better. I am assuming they are working for him since he seems to be better. I just hate that he has tantrums when I try to give him the antibiotic. He screams as if i am torturing him. I feel I am doing more harm than good, I dint need him being mire stressed out.

School is going by pretty quickly. I think Mobruka mentioned that there are only 8 classes left for her. Which means that there are only 8 classes left for me as well. I didn't think about counting how many are left honestly since i am just letting the semester ride out. I am not really in a rush for it to end since there is a lot to be done.

For the research I am working on with Brett, there is a summer internship going on and they offer internships every now and again. The way the school does it though is very sneakily. They only give the students 2 weeks to get the information together and then present it. In actuality, by the time the professors get to telling the students they only really have a week. I didn't really have any intentions of working on it, not until Professor Snajdr mentioned that he would discourage me to do it since he wanted his students to get it. I think that he knew in doing so it would motivate me to want to participate in it, which it did. I told Brett and got everything together in the course of a few days. I needed to update my resume, write a biographical letter, a proposal, and then Brett had to write a letter of recommendation and i had to present an unofficial transcript. Sounds easy, but it really wasn't. The whole process was fun honestly but it was extremely stressful. My mother told me that I should ask her friend Nick for help, and he said he would when she asked him. Honestly I think the whole thing was over his head since he really didn't help much. He helped me in updating my resume, to show that I have had leadership roles since that was important to show that I had for this internship. When it came to the proposal he kept telling me to rewrite it though I explained to him several times that they are not aware of the research project and that me coping information from the professors proposal would only help me. After several yawns he said he had to go, and he would be busy the following day but I could email him a sample of what I rewrote... I didn't.

I emailed Brett instead and he directed me as to what he wanted and it actually helped better. The final touches were added the last hour before it was due, which Snajdr helped me with. A student in his office which was participating in the same internship project didn't know where to submit the work so i offered to go with her and we ran there together. Of course it wasn't in an area that was easy to find, but we got there and submitted the work. I could finally take a breath and relax. It wasn't until 5pm when I decided that it was time for dinner, which was really me just eating my lunch. I had downloaded Black Swan and was planning on watching it as I ate. I went into my bag to have my sandwich and discovered that the letter of recommendation actually hadn't made its way into my envelope of papers being submitted so I ran to submit it and thank God they let me put it in. Like I said previously, it was fun, but horribly stressful.
