The past week of my life has been very stressful and well...shitty. And unfortunately the stressfulness is not over.
I had an exam Wednesday and Thursday and a civ paper (thankfully my last one ever) due Friday.
I found out Thursday that I didn't get the internship with Enterprise rent-a-car that I had applied for and went home last weekend and interviewed for. It sucks. The woman said that usually they hire more experienced people, usually students going into their senior year. Who knows if this is true or not, though I would hope that it is. So now I'm incredibly stressed about the summer as it is only 3 weeks away. I really do not know what I'm going to do for a job. I need to make a lot of money. I would like a job that would give me some valuable experience, not just some random job. An internship relating to my major would be great, but no government internships are paid which really sucks. I could work in the Financial Aid Office, which is my work study job, but I don't have anywhere to live. And even if i were to find someplace to live by the time I got done paying rent and for food and for gas going back and forth to home on the weekends I wouldn't be making enough of a profit. So I'm really just very stressed about what to do about this summer. If anybody has any ideas or connections or anything please please let me know.
I was running for the executive board of Admission Ambassadors but fortunately there were only 5 people running for 5 available positions so I just got it. I officially begin my position tomorrow at Admitted Students Family Day. Sadly, this means I have to be up at 7:30 am and will be busy with that all day long.
I have a group presentation on Monday that I really need to do a lot for considering I just met with my group for the first time on Thursday. So I'm working on that tonight instead of going out or anything. So after Monday I will be a lot less stressed about school stuff for the remainder of the semester (2 more full weeks of classes, then 1 more week during which I have 3 exam).
We have to register for classes next week which is also always stressful. It looks like I'm going to be taking International Relations, Political Theory: Ancients and Moderns, Financial Accounting, German, and a theology (b/c I have to fulfill a core req.) called The Sacraments. Should be fun. We'll see how the transition between 4 and 5 classes per semester goes.
Anyway, yeah. Stress is basically the summation of my life.
