Increasingly glad I hitched my wagon to HIS train…

The Husband is plugging along on his coursework for a Master in Fine Arts in Graphic Design. He will finish in March of 2009 and right now he’s looking for an internship that will fulfill the school’s internship requirement. In the beginning, he was concerned that he was not going to be able to find one. He applied to like 12 different places last Tuesday. Since then, he’s been offered 3. It’s so funny to me…he gets so worked up and worried over things like this…worried that he won’t even be able to get ONE internship.

This past weekend he had an interview at the NC Zoo for a Graphic Design internship there. They don’t normally do internships, but after the interview, they were able to offer him a huge project that they would let him be in charge of because they are opening a huge new exhibit this year and are in need of the help. It’s quite a huge task…I think he was a tad overwhelmed by their offer. He said, “I mean…just let me do a brochure to start off with or..SOMEthing!” But I think the challenge is something that’s exciting to him.

The other main contender for this summer is an internship that he was offered yesterday with Fossil. Now, apparently, Fossil is in the business of making quality accessories and getting design awards. The way The Husband talks about it, I feel like angels should sing whenever the name Fossil is mentioned. ☺ He was on cloud 9 last night…really honored that they’d offer him a position.

So now here’s the dilemma. Which one does he pick? I think there’s a decent chance that whichever one he picks will offer him a full time job when it’s over…so that has to be considered. Either place would be great place to work. But one is in Richardson, TX and one is in Asheboro, NC. My entire family lives in Asheboro…which is both good and bad. hahaha. Of course, taking a job with Fossil this early in his game would be highly beneficial when looking for other work in the future. But then considering what my family is getting ready to go through with the possible divorce trial coming up in October…it would be difficult for me not to be able to go home if I needed to. Difficult, but not impossible. Overall, I have told him that knowing how much it SUCKS to be in a job that you hate going to every day, I really want him to go where he will be happy. And as cliché as it is, I’ll be happy if he is happy. I really cannot wait for the day that we’re both out of school. I can’t even imagine.

So anyway…such is life. Decisions decisions. I had to spill my thoughts here because Billy, so true to his nature, doesn’t want to discuss it until after his 45 hour review on Friday. Saturday I’m heading back to Rose Hill to HOPEFULLY finish whatever needs to be finished there. More on that Monday. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers on Sunday. But that means we won’t be able to have a conversation about it until Monday and anyone who knows me knows you might as well ask me to hold my breath until Monday. Nevertheless, I guess I’ll have to try.

So there’s your update, all who have been asking for one. ☺

Here's my earworm for the week:
