the good news and the bad news

lets start with the bad.
the internship that was supposed to start in january has yet to begin. they are still working on the background check. what is holding them up, i have no idea. especially because if you looked up "goody-two-shoes" in the dictionary, my face would be right there. sigh. my potential boss did email me 2 weeks ago saying that the check should be done by last friday, so i could possibly start march 2nd. unfortunately, when i emailed him to see what was up, i got an out of office reply. sigh. so now who knows when im going to be starting that.

now on to the good.
i was accepted into an international law and security program through georgeown university that takes place in florence!the fact that the program takes place in italy is a bonus; i would want to partake in this program regardless of where it was held. now i just need to make sure i can get credit for it and make my final decision by march 6th. so, i may be going back to italy, woohoo! the only bummer news associated with this, besides the price and tight deadline, is that i think it starts at the end of may, and with my internship still not beginning, i may do the internship right through when my place leaves, meaning no time to come home. :-( hopefully it will all work out though. ::fingers crossed::
