Internship update and thoughts on Lent

I just went to a meeting and got a couple of nuggets of internship info:

1. I'm going to get an out-of-state tuition waiver after all, so tuition should be $1360, rather than $2300.
2. The internship is required to be 12 weeks long. 10 week positions will only be considered on an individual basis and you have to make up the extra two weeks somehow (with research or a paper or something).

In other news, tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. Anybody giving anything up for Lent? I usually do. I'm not Catholic (or Lutheran, or any religion), but I really like the idea of Lent. I wonder if that is insulting to those who are actually practicing? I certainly don't want to take over anyone else's holiday. I just like the idea of giving something up for a number of weeks and really having to think about the way I live...

Jeez! I just realized that tomorrow being Ash Wednesday means today is Fat Tuesday. Happy Mardi Gras, everybody! Too bad I'm not in much of a celebratory mood.
