the point of internships are to stuff your resume. You've already got one big name on your resume (GT), add another and you'll be golden.
Besides... if you went through the professional practice office then the wages are negotiated by the school and can't be changed.
A halo orbit about the Lagrange 2 point in the Earth-Moon system would be sufficient. From Earth it would appear as a ring behind the moon. Keep in mind that the L2 point is in unstable equilibrium. That type of orbit would require about 100 m/s delta V maintenance per year.
I have not read the proposal but perhaps a trade study showed a significant mass savings over the long term by landing your equipment. Maintaining an array of satellites might *actually* be more expensive
The problem with high altitude lunar orbits is that they are unstable. The earth/sun tend to perturb them such that satellites would require significant orbit maintenance (aka lots of fuel, which eventually runs out).
I've been playing didgeridoo for less than a year (sax is main instrument). I wrote a Matlab script to analyze the frequency content of recordings I made. It's not real-time, but still neat to see how tongue movements change the harmonics.

The "P.O.S." devices used in mainly physics courses are expensive and over rated. $30+ for an infrared 'clicker' we'll use in one or two classes. Professors used to take attendance via these devices until the system was abused. Judging from my glorious passing grade I'd say the prof did something right. I'm just not sure that it was the 'clicker' and his poorly worded questionnaires.

Living in Delaware definitely has its perks. Blue crabs, the beaches, pumpkin' chunkin' festivals , scrapple (mmm!). Also, fans of craft beer will note that Dogfish Head is brewed there too.

Scrabulous attracts a lot of bozos and perverts. Here's a sample of open tables:
"fun flirty fems.....nz?"
"msn ladies for a chat"
"Naughty chat and a good game anyone? Say 'hi Tim' if you're in the mood to play d irty!"
"No pervs, no dictionarys, just brains... same rating or higher"
At least there are SOME people like myself that prefer to play for the game. Most of the sex chat creeps have shit scores anyway.
