Stubbornness can lead to a career?
The last blog of the week is always the hardest to write. It seems like there is nothing left to talk about, so you just ramble on about nothing and hope to make it to 200 words. It always seems like it is on my last blog that I randomly talk about all of my problems and what's going wrong in my life! I'm usually the type of person that keeps to themselves and doesn't like to let anyone in. That's pretty much me in a nutshell. I consider myself very outgoing but don't trust easily. I also am usually super quiet...I guess that's changed since I've been at school. I know that over these past almost 3 months, I have changed. I feel like I can take more on now and am much more stubborn than I was when I came down in August. Trust me, that was hard to beat. There is no way that I can change my major now. I refuse. I came in for engineering, and I vow to leave with a degree in some sort of engineering. I think all of the engineers received Co-Op postcards in the mail on Saturday. It finally helped me realize that I need to start working on getting an internship. I know there is almost no use in trying for a Co-Op because I don't want to do engineering. I want to work in a patent office. I decided that I would talk to Jim, my academic advisor, about trying for an internship at the U.S. Patent Office. I highly doubt they would want someone without any experience in law, but hey, maybe they will give me a chance!

Oh the future.... It's a scary thought to think that we must now spend our summers with internships and jobs instead of just hanging out with friends everyday of the week. But trust me, once it finally gets to the point where you almost have that summer internship locked down, it feels good. That's where I am now, although I won't know for sure until February, I do know form inside sources that I am almost in.
First off I would like to agree with you on the last blog of the week thing. I mean this week I wrote about cell phones... How lame is that? Anyway the future can be very frustrating to worry about. Internships can be a very rewarding experience so try to get involved and like Kip says once you know you have one, it will be very relieving.
