Jen likes rocks...and other stuff: i am officially a gold digger...

...because I got the internship at a gold mine in nevada! I sent my resume, got picked for an interview about a week ago, and the HR peeps picked me out of the group of interviewees! score. they also pay for my housing and transportation. I plan to invest in cargo pants that I can fill with gold samples each evening, and then waddle back to my hotel room. lovely.
