Future
Contrary to my plans, I've been MIA for a while. I've been checking my flist regularly, but everything just seems to go right through me. I have lots of things to do and many that I want to do, but I just can't seem to focus on anything for long periods of time.
More and more, I find myself thinking about the future. As I'm sure I have mentioned, this is my last year of college. I'm studying translation (English-Portuguese and vice-versa). If all goes well, next year I'll be out in the world searching for a place to finish my education. I've been thinking about doing my internship abroad, but I don't know if it'll be possible monetarily, or if I'll ever be accepted somewhere. I want to go England (and it would look great on my CV), but it'd be very expensive. I don't know if I'll be able to swing it. Besides, I have no idea how to start looking.
Is there a site where I can go to?
Do you know any company that might be willing to offer me a position?
I don't expect to get paid for my work (although it would be great!), I just want to gain some practical experience on my field of work and to have some sort of certificate at the end to prove that I interned there.
If it doesn't work out, I'll have to find something here, but I'm not worried about that. I'm sure something will come up. I just... I really wanted to get out of here. To try my hand at being independent, being on my own. Sooner or later, we all have to do it, but this country's economy is a mess. While finding an internship here would be relatively easy (free labor for the company), finding a job that doesn't involve fast food companies or mall stores is getting harder by the minute. The last thing I want is to live indefinitely with my parents, and I fear that staying here will mean exactly that.
