Halfway Through
Home for the weekend, because my Korean passport is expiring and needed me to be in the Chicagoland area. And my dad's home, for the first time in almost 10 months.
It was a bit tiring to work a full day on Thursday and drive straight home for about 6 hours. The story I worked on was supposed to run on Friday, but it ended up running today because of the ongoing budget crisis at the Capitol (as in there's no budget, and therefore a partial government shutdown).
Work is challenging, as usual, but it's going well. I had a second A1 story on the Grokster case packaged with the AP Ten Commandments ruling story. And I recently finished off a feature story I worked on for almost two weeks about foreign students coming to the US to work at Minnesota resorts. That's supposed to run as the centerpiece on the business page.
I'm quickly approaching the sixth week of my internship. It's been busy and fast. But I've thoroughly enjoyed my experiences so far and hope to finish strong.
But it's certainly nice to be home to eat some good food and hang out with some of the high school friends, who didn't expect to see me last night at a party. Matches of beer pong ensued.
And I'm leaning more and more toward going to law school. I really do enjoy writing and reading about the Supreme Court. If I want that to be my beat, then I almost certainly need the degree. But I want to work for a couple years and save up some money before I make the leap. Nothing like a healthy balance.
