Wow.
You know what would be a fan-fucking-tastic job opportunity for me? A 12 week intership writing for EARTH magazine.
We are currently accepting applications for a summer 2009 internship. The intern will work as a full member of the EARTH staff. Tasks include writing news articles for EARTH online, writing and editing news and trends articles for print, helping to edit and produce the magazine, and attending press briefings and science seminars in Washington, D.C., as needed. Based at the American Geological Institute in Alexandria, Va., the internship is 12 weeks long and includes a $3,500 stipend. Starting time is flexible. All applications should be received by March 31, 2009.
... But it's in Alexandria, VA. I have never been to Virginia, and I am kinda worried that I'll do the whole Freak Out thing that happened in St. Cloud again. Which would be bad.
Also, I have no past job experience in the writing field, so that might be a turn off for them.
I might apply anyway, just cause I would spend the rest of my life kicking myself if I didn't try. Chances are they won't even consider me, and hey, there's my whole "Far from home for a semester, OMG!" problem solved!
