What a Day
So, my cognitive psych professor was a no show yet again today. On Monday one of her grad students came in to show a video; me and half the class left. This woman is ridiculous. I don't know how many classes I have missed for that class. And when she is there, she's God-awful. She's under review for tenure. I hope to God that she doesn't get it.
Moving on. This afternoon I had my interview for volunteering with the presidential debates. It was pretty lame. It only lasted 10 minutes and they interviewed me and another chick simultaneously. They just wanted to know about any time constraints we might have and what our best qualities are. I have the impression that if you signed up you get to volunteer. I'm not very concerned about it, but I should find out for sure the first week of May.
Then this evening I attended a PRSSA Mixer (PR students mingle with PR professions to get jobs or internships). It was ok. Talked to a couple of people. But the highlight came after. As I'm leaving, I notice that someone called me. A woman from an advertising/PR firm left me a message to see if I was interested in their summer internship program. I was a bit puzzled, because I hadn't given out my resume to anyone until tonight. She told me to call her and leave her a voicemail saying when it's best for her to reach me. So I get home and am about to call her when my mom fills me that she called the house first. Anyway, I called her and actually caught her still at the office. Apparently, she got my resume from a colleague awhile back and she really like my resume (go me!). At first it seemed that it wouldn't work out, because they want full-time interns, but I need to work at least part-time at HSA over the summer. It turns out though, that there's another person who wants to do it part-time too. So she's thinking about balancing it out so that one of us is there when the other isn't. I'm to "think it over" and call her on Monday. So YAY! I think I have a summer internship at a PR agency! YAY! Hopefully this will help figure out what I do and don't want to do in the real world.
