During the final 14 days of the study (called the recovery period), participants will again be free to move about within the facility.

It might be appealing, other than the fact in the promotional materials they state “recovery period” and the test takes place at NASA’s “Human Test Subject Facility”.  I think I’ll pass on this one..

“Can you work Wednesday 10-1?”

I actually have class then, but it just so happens that this past week, my RTV teachers were in Vegas for the NAB convention. (They “have” to go.) It works out that I went to the game that next night (Tuesday), then started working with the Greenville Drive as an intern. “What do I do?” you might ask.. well, we have cameras that are throughout the stadium, and I switch between those/tell them what I want to see, etc. and send a signal out to the suites. If the graphics guy at the other end of the booth likes what I have going out to the suites (say a replay or something), he can put it on the video board in the outfield. Pretty cool, if you ask me. So that’s for a month until camp. Who knew that so much went into baseball, even for a minor league team..

So now there’s possibly a chance I might come back to Greenville after camp.. it all depends on job openings in the area after the summer, but we’ll see. Anyways, since I have the internship, I probably won’t be able to blog much - maybe a couple of times here or there, but nothing on a regular basis for a while at least. If you must keep up, I’m on Facebook.. but even that will likely suffer some. Graduation is 25 days away, but classes end in 11. As of right now, it looks like I might only have 3 or fewer finals, so that’s a blessing by itself.

In case you’re wondering about the CRX, it’s still sitting in the garage. I’ve had a few bites from Craigslist (link should still work at least for a couple more days), but only one was serious.. everybody else says they’re coming, then just never show.. oh well.. maybe Andrew will have better luck with it. Anyways, I’m off to bed - I have one last interview in the morning then that class is done, so hopefully it’ll go well. It’s an “On the Street” interview about how people feel about the war in Iraq/Who they think will win the race for President. Should be quite interesting.

That’s right folks, there’s apparently now another option besides “Male” or “Female”. Someone forgot to show me the memo on that one. Granted, I have seen people on campus that leave a question in my mind, but seriously.. “androgynous“? Are you serious?

Not sure if there’s one by you, but on April 30th, Baskin Robbins is offering 31 cent (per scoop) ice cream. Benefits go to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. There’s only one in Greenville on East North.
