I hit cruise control and rubbed eyes

Received an email from the Icon Friday telling me an internship position for the Fall had opened up and they would like me to fill that position. Giddily called Lena who asked if I accepted right away to which I responded, "...I just sent out all these resumes to other places yesterday!"

"Jenna! It's the ICON!! Are you INSANE?!?"

I head to class, make up some dough for croissants to be baked Monday and am walking out at the end of the night carrying boxes filled with flaky pastries, turnovers and a pineapple, coconut, macadamia nut cream pie. Seeing I missed a call from Lena, call her back and plan to meet her outside of the main building at school. I walk out the front doors and am bombarded by the sound of noisemakers and people yelling, "Congratulations!" Out on the plaza there sit Lena, Danny, Lou and James, hanging out in the dark on a blanket surrounded by tea lights, waiting for me to get out of class. A plastic cup full of wine and plate of food from the mediterranean kitchen are pushed into my hands as we begin discussing my future internship in the Bay Area.

A night of drinking, dancing, lots of laughing and a bit of ridiculousness ensued, we woke up the next day to go to a wine tour and tasting hosted by our local Slow Food. Topped off by grabbing food, James whipping up some awesome chocolate macadamia nut ice cream (which Lena and I promptly devoured) and a drive-in movie including the hookah.

Over two months ago Danny mentioned the fact that I was lucky enough to surround myself with really fantastic people in Madison. I wonder if he realized that it seems to be a trend in my life.
