It's been awhile since I've had a real post. I know all 2 of you that read this have been sitting on the edge of your seat refreshing my blog to read more. RIght? Don't deny it.
So, where were we? Oh. Yes. I have a solid 2 months until I'm done with college classes. But who's counting? That'd be me. So. 2 months.
In those 2 months I need to find an internship. Let's recap. Back in June/July I was offered the chance to work for Vail Resorts in Colorado. Beyond the best internship in the entire world, at least I like to tell myself. And then ISU stepped in and said, "ohhhhhhh NO. Think again." And they gave my internship high a complete burnout. Rude. So, I was back to square one. Which is nowhere, really. That led me to basically look into every possible internship out there. I stumbled on Disney Professional Internships and submitted my resume and cover letter. A little glimpse at my cover letter: "please please please please hire me I will do whatever you ask of me short of, well, nothing." Seriously. As I was writing it I just wanted to beg them to hire me. But I refrained and attempted to, eloquently, explain to them why I'm so awesome.
Flash forward: I had an interview with Disney and I think it went really well. I, once again, told them in the best manner possible why I'm awesome and avoided when they asked me why I wanted to work for Disney saying "uhh... DUH. Why WOULDN'T I?" and put my answer in the form of PR. That was early September. As you can tell by the date you're reading this... it is much later than September now. In fact, it's October. When will I know about this internship? Ohhh, maybe mid November to early December. Oy vey.
In other news, I also applied for an internship with St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis. It's for the volunteer services and I would be interacting with volunteers as well as patients and their families. Basically my dream job (besides Disney, they're sort of tied.) I applied for that with my resume, cover letter (don't worry, I once again had to avoid begging and explaining my undying infatuation with all that is St. Jude) and the most amazing letter of recommendation from the best staff partner at ACS ever, Amanda. With those three things I'm hoping I can at least land an interview. I won't know about that until, wait for it, mid November.
Background on myself: This is all you need to know- I'm THE most impatient person that has ever stepped foot on this planet. I'm an instant gratification kind of person. So, as I'm sure you can imagine, waiting MONTHS to hear about internships that I so badly want is basically killing me.
However, this is what I want to do. These two internships are, quite frankly, what I have worked for 23 years to accomplish. What I have worked up to for so long. I want to make people happy and I want to help people. Truthfully, I'm having difficulties deciding which of the two I want more. I've wanted to work for Disney for so many years and I want to help at St. Jude like something fierce. If I were to get offered either one it would seriously be a dream come true. All of this paragraph is coming off so cheesy, but it's because I'm so passionate about it. There are literally no words to use to explain how badly I want these positions. Almost as bad as I wish they were both stationed in Colorado.
I'm all done writing for now. I gave up Facebook so I'm going to try and keep everyone up to date on here. I have a couple of other topics I want to talk about in my head so hopefully I'll be updating again soon. Oh, I also gave up soda. It's been a productive week.
