Decisions, Decisions, Decisisons

So the actual internship list has finally been opened. Now I have to make one of the hardest decisions of my life thus far - where to actually apply.  Do I want a big or small office? Do I want to be doing more financial or economic work? How far do I want to travel each morning? What kind of enviornment do I want to be working in 40 hours a week? Who do I want to connect my name with?

All of these decisions are driving me batty! Its so hard to decide but I know that I have to in order to maybe (fingers crossed!) get a job when I graduate in a year and a half (eek!).

But no matter what kind of pressure it is to pick, and then interview and then get the darn thing I know it will totally be worth it when I get there in June and begin one of the greatest adventures of my life!

In other news it is -7 degrees here today.  If you've never been in -7 degree weather it feels like someone is slowly covering you in ice and pealing back your skin.  It hurts in other words.  I almost cried walking to work this morning.  It is not going to be a good walk to class today. And Im sick which just makes everything worse.
Can it be summer please???

Interning Intro

So I am interning in Chicago this summer and I am so excited! The best part about it is that I start on my 21st birthday. Happy Birthday to me! So while I count down for my internship I also count down for my birthday!

I am slowly making progress on the process of getting the actual internship. I am going through a program that I get college credit through and they are awesome! They house us (which includes everything from dishes to towels), enterntain us on the weekends, make sure we are doing ok during the program and help us become adults so that when we graduate (class of 2012 baby!) we can get jobs and make our parents proud.

So I am a (almost) 21 year old making my way through the city and life waiting to get the internship that is going to change my life forever and this here blog is going to document everything for me. Hold on ladies and gentlemen its going to be a crazy ride!!!
