Work Week’s Got Me Beat

September 2nd, 2011 by Manda | 4 Comments | Filed in School, Work

When the earliest I can get home on any given day of the working week is 5p.m. (on a Friday!), it is very telling just how all-consuming my class/work/internship schedule is. Needless to say, I’m beat from this week. It’s almost 6p.m. on a Friday evening and I’m sitting on my couch in my PJ’s watching reruns of NCIS like an old lady. Not gonna lie, it’s kind of nice that I have absolutely nothing planned for tonight but to relax and unwind. Oh, and maybe tackle some of my readings…

I know I’ve talked about how busy I am on this blog before and it might seem like I’m complaining but I’m not, honestly. My schedule is something I chose and I’m happy with all the things that I’m doing. I just think it’s kind of scary how fast I went from being a freshman with a handful of classes and a schedule that was wide open in terms of free time to a totally jam-packed schedule where I’m juggling sixteen things at once. How did I grow up so fast? Where did the time go? Am I really expected to be an Adult in the Real World come graduation next year?!

(Oh, and in news I meant to post earlier but I completely forgot to and now it’s kind of late and outdated: I survived both the DC earthquake and Hurricane Irene last week without incident, minus the 24 hours or so I lost power due to Irene. My area was incredibly lucky as others were not as fortunate with either, or both, of the natural disasters.)

I Got My Dream Internship

August 16th, 2011 by Manda | 11 Comments | Filed in Work

Remember how I talked about how I was waiting to hear back about a fall internship? Well, I was offered my dream internship!! I will be a media relations intern at a prominent international organization. I’m really excited as this position will allow me to dive head-first into my field of study and gain valuable experience. I also strongly believe in this organization’s mission statement, which was one of the reasons why I wanted so badly to intern at this organization.

I will have a full day of orientation in exactly two weeks. After that, I’ll begin interning part-time throughout the whole semester. I’m so excited! :D

The Waiting Game

August 13th, 2011 by Manda | 4 Comments | Filed in Work

I’ve spent the last week interviewing for internships. I had one in-person interview and two phone interviews, and I find out about the status of all of them early next week. Am I nervous? Yes. Am I impatient? Yes. But there’s nothing I can do but wait.

In my unguarded moments, I find myself fantasizing about what it would be like if I am the successful candidate for the one I want the most ouf of the three internships I interviewed for. Because seriously, it would be such a sweet internship; it’d be everything I’d want out of an internship experience. But then I quickly quash those fantasies because honestly, that will just make it all the more harder if I find out I wasn’t the successful candidate.

Hopefully I’ll have landed at least one of the internships. (Ideally, I’d have my pick of the three, but of course life is never ideal.) And if I’m not successful for any, I guess it’s back to the drawing board…

(This has pretty much been my life last week – interview after interview after interview. Hence the lack of entries. I’m sure life will get more exciting in the coming weeks :P)
