Since I transferred to Suffolk last fall I've devoted a lot of extra time to catching up so I could graduate on time and get my career started. I figured that as soon as I was ready for an internship, one would just fall into my lap. When I was offered one last spring I turned it down...and now I'm kicking myself for it. I spent Sunday afternoon writing cover letters, modifying my resume, researching available positions, and sent it all out. I received one response just an hour later (which made me very excited) but the woman never called the day she said she was going to. I haven't heard from any of the others and it's becoming very discouraging :( I know it's nothing personal - I have a great GPA and job experience and I would give a good interview...they're just not responding. It seems this horrendous economy is affecting even more than paid jobs...
On that note, I'm scheduling my summer classes and the job (if i can find one) will just have to work around it. After meeting with my adviser yesterday I realize I only need 5 more classes to graduate; which would be great if I didn't want a minor in Government and didn't love coming to school so much. So this summer I will be taking science and government 110, in the fall I'll finish my major courses plus humanities, and my last semester here will be entirely consumed by government classes! And then it will all be over...sadness.
Tomorrow morning I'm meeting a few of our counselors to go to Dorchester for an outreach program called Kids to College. Last year we spent the day with 6th graders, talking to them about the importance of higher education, playing games, and giving them graduation gowns to take pictures in. It's such an inspiring event, so much so that I'm willing to work at 8a.m. for it!
Tonight at Suffolk a famous comedian will be performing at the C.Walsh Theatre on campus. Will Durst has performed for former President Bill Clinton (who I love) as well as George Bush II so we're all pretty excited. Maybe there will be free coffee...there usually is! These are the kinds of events that our student activities fees pay for, so you definitely want to take advantage of all the opportunities for entertainment, food, and experience!
Just three more days until I leave for Miami, wooohooo!!!!
Until Next Time,
Kayla :)
