twilight zone

I was selected by the State Department for an internship.  I really don't know what to think.  I don't know my assignment yet - I anxiously await it, and cross my fingers - but at least it begins the optional route of Foreign Service Officer.  Wow, that sounds so weird.  Especially after contemplating going straight to grad school after this.  I really need to have a talk with certain people. 

And get myself to a police station to be fingerprinted.  So ends what little privacy I thought I had.

Now if only I could get published.  Ha.  My life would be complete. 

Edit:  on the downside, I may be out of a job.  And a research position!  What a day.

I...don't really know what they are/do.

Well, there's five "tracks", you can specialize in various fields. I would choose the political track, obviously, even though it's the most popular one. Basically you keep tabs on the domestic politics of the country you're posted in and be a diplomat, and report back to Washington.
