New Internship

It's hard to believe but Adrienne will finish her first year of college in about three weeks. Through her difficult high school years with relapses, transplants, and treatments, we didn't know if she'd ever get there and now she's almost finished with her freshman year. She couldn't have picked a better college that offers so many amazing opportunities and a wonderful education.

Adrienne found out that she's been awarded the Kravis-de Roulet Internship that she was hoping for. She's very happy and excited about the job itself and the $2,500 stipend she will receive next year. The money was a great surprise. She'll be sharing the job with another student who is a friend of hers, so she's looking forward to that.

Tonight, Adrienne will get to pick her dorm room for next year. CMC uses a lottery system like a lot of colleges. As a freshman, Adrienne is one of the last to pick but as of yesterday, it looked like her preferred dorm was not the most popular. CMC has senior apartments and most of the rising seniors either want to live there or in one of the quieter dorms in what they call South Quad. Other people want to live in "party central" in North Quad. Adrienne wants to live in Mid Quad near where she lived first semester.

Medically, Adrienne is fairly boring right now. This is a good thing. Daniel, however, is having some trouble of his own. It seems he might have ulcerative colitis. He will have a colonoscopy tomorrow to confirm the diagnosis. There is no cure but the symptoms are treatable.
