Good news/bad news situation

So the good news/bad news situation is this:

I applied at Deseret Book for a publishing internship for next semester.

  • Deseret Book emailed me and asked me to come take an in-house editing test because they liked my resume.
  • Deseret Book first wanted me to come in this Friday, you know while Angela is here and the day before I throw Marianne's baby shower and the same day that I have all sorts of tests in my classes....
  • I emailed Deseret Book to say that I couldn't come Friday.  They emailed and asked me to come Monday.  It's okay; it's not like I have a few essays due that day since my teachers were hoping to get it out of the way before the Thanksgiving break starts.  And it's not like I'm going to drive four hours down to Salt Lake and four hours back on Sunday just to make the drive again Tuesday night....
  • The other bad news is that if I actually get the internship, I would be super happy to have a paid publishing internship.  That would somehow make me feel like I am the "best of the best" considering paid internships in my major just don't exist.  It would be bad because I would have to live by myself in Salt Lake City next semester while Clayton lives in Boise....anyone have any great suggestions?
