Customs Officers ate my Chocolate

This past week was crazy. I have been so busy with studying for exams and writing papers last minute. I am happy the week is over and I can finally enjoy the weekend. This week was also really interesting in terms of the presidential elections. Tuesday was election day for the primaries in Ohio. In almost all of my classes the professors encouraged those who haven't voted at this time to do so, or to at least get registered for for the final elections.

Another interesting thing happened today. I received a package from my very good friend Lisa from Germany. She sent me a Kinder Surprise Egg, Haribo, a letter, and some small gifts. Kinder Surprise Eggs are actually not allowed to be shipped or brought to the United States. She knows that I love Kinder chocolate and did not know about that prohibition. Unfortunately, they opened the package with the egg as well as the surprise inside of it to make sure there no bomb or whatever dangerous thing inside. This is the most ridiculous thing ever! Also, the chocolate was broken and almost gone. I bet they ate the chocolate when they controlled the package. However, I was happy about the package. It is always nice to get something from friends or family.

I have also made some efforts concerning my internship for the summer. During Spring Break I have been sending a lot emails and applications to several companies and organizations. One of them was the Alliance for African Assistance. This non-profit organization sent me an answer and seemed to be interested in having me as an intern. There are still things to figure out so it is not 100 per cent sure if I am gonna be interning for them in summer. Another organization responded just two days ago, and asked me to look into the project that they are going to work on over summer to see if I would be interested in it. I am still waiting for other answers but I am confident that I will get a position offer soon. I'll keep you updated.
