Inch by Inch

Well, I honestly can't believe tomorrow will already be Valentine's Day. To me, it seems like this year just started, and yet I know that I am going to blink and the summer is going to be here and all that it brings with first birthdays, graduations and more.

Anyway, there still isn't too much going on in our neck of the woods. But there are a few things I guess that may be blogworthy-- things that are coming together slowly, or inch by inch-- there you have the title folks, if you watch "Family Guy" like Daniel, and thus I, do then you can reference Peter here and his love of titles being thrown into dialogue.

First of all, our little guy is so close to crawling. He is constantly putting himself up on his knees and rocking back and forth until he just decides, the heck with it, I am good army crawling everywhere or whining until some sorry sucker (me) picks him up and carries him away. So, inch by inch, and slowly, but surely, I know he will get there soon.

Secondly, my internship search, is coming to a close, fingers crossed at least. On Friday, I interviewed at the Alumni Center with the Director of Marketing and Membership. The job sounds like my dream job and is such a perfect fit with where I see my career path heading, however, it is completely public relations based. I am, as you know, a journalism major, begrudgingly, and that is where the hang up comes in. I was offered the position on the spot (the lady I interviewed with was a founding charter member of my sorority, and I may have happened to mention that I was a member when I saw all of her stuff-- hey, network where you can people).

Sure, it all sounds wonderful, but the problem is convincing my advisor that I should be allowed to do a p.r. internship instead of a journalism one. So, I am inching closer to closing the internship gate, but it's not quite there yet.

And finally, Daniel's inch by inch news is the work on his preliminary dissertation. He was originally supposed to present his prelim in March, but due to some catch ups his advisor had, he has had to postpone his presentation until April. I think he is OK with this, but we are both just eager for it to be over with and his research and work to be one step closer to getting his hood and becoming Dr. Daniel Horn.

So, in a world where so much is made of going the distance and reaching far, I am perfectly happy with our inch by inch happenings, if you will, of the week.
