Intern?

I went to an internship workshop today to see what kind of internships are available to English majors. I had never really thought about an internship before but I got an e-mail from the College of Humanities telling me about this workshop so I decided I would go check it out. They talked about some generic internships that don't have any specific tie to English and one of them caught my attention. It is an internship with the Utah State Legislature where you are assigned as an assistant to a representative from the state legislature getting to help with research on legislation, preparing for hearings and meeting with constituents. It is also a PAID internship, you get $1800 for the semester. And it is only a 45 day internship because the legislature meets for 45 days at the beginning of the year. So, I am thinking about it. Does anybody have any thoughts??

The Holiday


OK, so I am obsessed with the movie The Holiday. I've seen it only twice so far but once it hits the dollar theater I will see it like 17 times! It's so freakin' cute! Jude Law is so hot (of course) and his character has the cutest personality, Cameron Diaz is cute and pretty funny. The most surprising cast member is Jack Black who is funny but not too Jack-Black-y whose character is paired up with Kate Winslet! Weird I know, but it actually works. Kate Winslet totally steals the show though, she is adorable and hilarious and I loved seeing her in a romantic comedy because she's really good at it. Anyways- I recommend it. Look at the web site, it's really cute!!
