let the internship search begin

Hope everyone is having a lovely President's day off from work or school! If you are working, I at least hope the weather is nice for you - it snowed here earlier, but now it's just crisp and chilly. And that's inside my apartment. My heater has been having some issues, and it now seems to be stuck at 62 degrees. This happened before, around Thanksgiving, and it was a process to get everything warm again. I've put in a maintenance request, but since today is a holiday, they can't come look at it until tomorrow. Looks like I'll be bundled up in blankets and sweaters for the day!


It's been nice to have a long weekend, but I haven't done anything too fun. I've mostly spent my time working on all the assignments I have due before spring break. I have just 16 days to get my lit review, outline, writing project, and a few midterms out of the way, along with all my regular reading. It's a lot, but I just keep thinking about how nice it will be to be done!!


On top of all of my work, I have started the daunting and somewhat intimidating task of finding a summer internship here in Boston. After stalking some agency websites and BU Career link, I have a lot of good leads. Now it's just time to polish up the ol' resume, write a fantastic cover letter, and cross my fingers for some interviews. I have some favorite agencies already, but honestly I don't think any one of them are bad. It's all going to be an experience that will hopefully lead to a big girl job and pay check in just a few short months! December is going to be here faster than I know it, and having a great summer internship will only help me score that job after graduation. Plus, if I can get some references from my internship, that will help even more.


So for the rest of today, I'll be researching Facebook and Twitter (paper topic for my theory class), brushing up on some com. law, working on my fake book club (my writing project), and polishing that resume til it shines. Hopefully only good things will come! I'll let you know how everything turns out.
