Great news everyone: I found out I got an internship for the fall semester back in Boulder! It's a marketing internship that is promoting 2 new products by a group called Celect Media. One is called Quad Deals, which is similar to Living Social and Groupon, and the other is Black Sheep Magazine, which is a magazine targeted towards college students; it's supposed to be funny AND informative. I'm really excited and have an opportunity to make some money through Quad Deals. But most importantly, I will be working in promotions which I have never done and am really excited to have an internship where my ideas are heard and have the possibility of being executed; and I get to work on a team with a bunch of other university students.
My dad informed me that I make it seem like school is miserable. It isn't. I've really been enjoying (most of) my classes and have learned a lot about Scottish history. I also really enjoy taking these classes because I would never have the opportunity to take classes like these at Boulder or many other universities. However, I am not a fan of writing four 6-10 page research papers and spending at least 4 hours in the library every day when I could be exploring Edinburgh.
I finally found out my exam schedule. I have between April 25 and May 2 to write an essay for my Scottish Lit. class, an exam on May 7 and on May 14. So after spring break I have 3 weeks in Edinburgh. Some of the time will be for studying, but I will be able to do all of the exploring I haven't been able to do! I don't fly back to Boston until May 28 so I have 2 weeks to travel after exams. So far I'm planning on going to Milan for a couple of days to visit Costanza, and then Christine and I want to go to Croatia, and either Paris or Hungary. Also, I might be in London for the Royal Wedding, which would be AMAZING and I hope it works out.
Tonight I met up with my second cousin Marcy's childhood friend who has been living in Edinburgh for the past 7 years. We met in a restaurant in Old Town called Under the Stairs and had a great time chatting about differences between the US and the UK. She offered me some wonderful advice on where to go and what to do. Hopefully I will be able to meet up with her again before I leave. Thanks Marcy!
Tomorrow I am taking the whole day to finish 2 essays (I've started writing both. Then I just have one essay to write that is currently in outline form). But I need to get them done because I am going to MADRID this weekend!
