So Many Choices
It's been a long time since I last posted something. I have recently been struggling with some family issues, as well as the day-to-day chaos of juggling classes, work, homework, extra-curricular activities and attempting to prepare for my senior year of college. Needless to say, it's been crazy.
To begin, I'm at that stage in my college experience where I need to make those final choices as to what I plan to do with my degrees. I have the opportunity to attend graduate school and receive my masters in English, or I could choose to pursue an MAT degree. I am also considering going abroad as an ESL instructor. Or, I could simply stick with my B.A. and start my career at age 22, which doesn't seem the most appealing option to me.
It's also almost time to register for my Fall semester classes. I have to divide my time between two majors, a related area, a minor, and my general education classes. I only have two semesters left and a lot to finish up - I have to be extremely careful in coordinating my schedule (not to mention leaving time to work so that I can pay the rent).
I've also been in search of internships again. Luckily, my university recently held a non-technical internship fair and I waas able to speak with several businesses. I am fairly certain (about 98%) that I did in fact already claim an intern position at a local newspaper, but I don't verify that until later in the month. I also received an interview invitation for mid-March and waas asked to submit references to another potential employer. Furthermore, I may have an opportunity to teach summer enrichment programs both at my university and another college closer to home.
I feel very fortunate to have very understanding supervisors and bosses who are willing to work around my chaotic schedule and give me the time off that I need for my interviews (they aren't even insulted by this because the position I currectly hold is only available to undergraduates). They are very supportive and are excited for the opportunities that await me. Hopefully, wherever I end up at, I will be lucky enough to have other bosses like them.










So have you bottled and patented this rare and valuable talent you have to positively impress folks wherever you go? May I have a bottle for the next holiday?
