( 2.8 / 98 )A couple updates for everyone taking notes:
1)I am back in Orlando right now for the weekend. I'm moving some of my stuff back into my apartment here, which is nice. Means less hauling later. I'm kinda bored seeing as its finals week and everybody's cramming and studying or somewhere else, but I am going to relax and enjoy this weekend. I need some Huey Magoo's chicken tenders. I'm having withdrawal.
2)On Thursday, I presented a bill. A bill to the Senate Committee on Higher Education. I never felt my heart race as fast as it did when I got up and stood up in front of the Senators and presented. But I did it. The bill died, but I did it. it was an experience I will NEVER forget.
3)I had a phone interview for a job with UCF's SGA as their Webmaster. I have never done a phone interview, so, I don't know how it went. I hope it went well.
So, thats been my week.
I'm going to bed.

( 2.8 / 108 )PENGUINS!
Penguins were at the capital today.
Cute little warm blooded penguins were being carted around the Senate Office Building today and were also on the senate floor.

( 2.8 / 126 )Today, the National guard setup downstairs in the Capital Courtyard. It was amazing to say the least. I got a ton of pictures of military aircraft and military weapons. I got to hold a .50 calibur sniper rifle. 30lbs of Kick Your Ass Power. Amazing.
The Governor was also there speaking about the Guard. Got some nice pictures of the Governor Crist. All in all, a good day.

( 2.9 / 102 )So, every now and again I am going to post happenings, both funny and not-so-funny, about my internship. Today happens to be a funny post.
I am helping Maria bring down some plates and coffee mugs into the kitchen area of the office to clean them and of course, fill them with more coffee.
Well, lo and behold, there is no coffee left in the Community Coffee machine (which is now going to be named Coffee Maker of DooM for the tenure of my internship).
I am going to paraphrase the conversation we had after noticing said DooM Machine is empty.
Maria: Let's make coffee!
Shea: I've never made coffee before but ok!
Maria: Hey! A brew button! (Presses said button)
Shea: Whats this cup doing over here with a filter?
Maria: ?
Maria & Shea: !
(Boiling water starts spraying everywhere in the kitchen)
After a couple of minutes waiting for the water to stop spraying, and emptying out mugs and jars which we had managed to get under the nozzle spraying said water, we figured out our mistake.
I love this internship.
