A Diagram of the Life and Career of an Intern
I decided that I should spend a portion of my holiday weekend creating a diagram of my history since graduating college. COLORS! LITTLE ILLUSTRATIONS! And lots of arrows!
It's always quite a bit to sum up whenever a relative or former classmate asks. There is this reasonable expectation the one should be able to provide a simple response. Y'know, like a particular job or whatnot. Or maybe that is less expected these days. \o/ Generation Limbo.
Except, of course, sitting around doing absolutely nothing would slowly drive me mad. I guess I could help Occupy places. They do have some pretty epic signs. Instead, I've gone the route of interning, which offers me countless perks. Such as EXPERIENCE! (I have learned so much in the past year...and almost a half.) AWESOME PEOPLE! (Seriously. Shiny writers, snazzy agents, lovely editors. Basically, lots of charming, funny individuals who love books just as much as me. I adore that I can admit to reading children's and YA books without that awkward, judgmental pause.) And while I wait with bated breath for the day I evolve from an intern into a real human being, I am fairly content to continue learning and reading.
Any way, without further ado, the diagram!
Plus, seven is a magical number, right? Assuming it's not the poor 7 train.
