I have an internship!

I was placed today! Woo hoo! No more interviews (well I only had two, both at the same place that hired me) or sending out vitas, strengths and weaknesses, blah blah blah. Don't have to deal with the inept placement office at my school. I have one!

Downside: Its an hour and a half from Chicago, so woo hoo commute. And the train has a weird schedule so that if I do live in the city I won't get home til 11pm the nights I work. I hate walking around downtown at night.

Upside: I might move to a suburb closer to the placement so that commut time is less and halfway between downtown and my placement. I would get home at 930pm instead and there are many apartments near the train that I could easily walk to. Plus I think I might be happier in the suburbs. I don't know yet, still weighing my options. The placement is laid back too, no crazy people running around but I'll have a tough crowd to work with nonetheless. The supervisor seems to be a great person and I think I'll learn quite a bit. It has a lot of variety in the program too so it shouldn't get boring. And it doesn't damper my summer plans at all, which is a BIG deal right now.

I'm excited.

I completely understand, Ruby. I've never regreted living in the more suburban part of town. And it's really helped me enjoy my time in the city even more. I appreciate the pulse of the city and anonymity I find there a lot more when I'm not in it every day.
