Summer Blues
My work is never done. Homework on top of homework on top of homework; you’d think that a short week of school (no classes on Thursday or Friday because of Easter break) I wouldn’t have as many things to do. Not so. It seems like I’m constantly working on one project or another.
Luckily, I finished translating the last webpage for the Friends of the Haltom City Public Library website into Spanish. That’s one thing off my list. Hopefully we will have the website finished by the end of class tomorrow. I can’t wait to get that through. Then I can concentrate more on my several other projects.
I really hate the end of the semester because I always discover just how much I still have to do until I get everything completed before school’s out. Even if I do plan everything out throughout the semester, I still find an unlimited amount of things to do.
I can’t believe that I only have a few weeks left to get both non-profit projects due and only a little over a week to get my personal website finished. Even before all of that, I have to get my resume(s) due for 3300 and Writing for the Web. I still have several other smaller assignments as well.
I’ll be so relieved when the semester ends and then I can get a little rest.
Unless I get an internship this summer, but I’m not having any luck finding something in this area and I seriously doubt that I’ll be able to go to New York for the internship I did find. But that won’t stop me from applying for the internship anyway. If nothing else, I can always say that I applied, even if I can’t go.
The main difficulties with the internship lie with 1) the location and 2) the timing. I don’t think I can afford to live in New York and I’m not sure how much the internship pays so I can’t start looking into places or anything. Whitney suggested that they may offer housing as part of the deal, but the ad doesn’t say anything. The other problem is the timing. The ad says the job starts in late April, but the actual date is flexible. I don’t finish school until early May and then my best friend is getting married May 20, so I don’t see how I could leave before that. I doubt they would want to wait almost a month after the original date before letting me start. I just don’t think it’s meant to be.
Oh well. Maybe I can find something more local before too long. I haven’t had any luck yet, but I won’t give up.
