On Monday, I received a phone call to interview for my dream internship- to be a Clinical Research Intern at a pharmaceutical company. However, I am conflicted because I already accepted an internship for a non-profit organization for the sake of finishing up the class I need to graduate. My interview is this Friday, and I really hope that I will be able to partake in both, since in the phone call, the lady mentioned that since the deadline already passed, it would be reasonable for me to work 4-6 hours a week for no credit in the Winter Quarter, and then the full 10 hours a week for college credit in the Spring Quarter. Now the questions is whether or not the internship requires me to take the writing class as a co-requisite, because if this is the case, then I would have to revoke the paper I submitted to the counselor, and tell the organization I accepted that I would no longer be able to intern with them.
I know I am getting ahead of myself since I didn’t even get the internship yet. Heck, I didn’t even interview. But I feel happy with the fact that these opportunities are out there, and it makes me proud to know that I am taking the right steps toward having a career in the field of study that I want.
This opportunity to intern as a Clinical Researcher has got me thinking way ahead of myself. I have been daydreaming of where I will be a year from now, and in these dreams, I hope to be a full time employee at this pharmaceutical company (or anything similar). Previously, I was afraid of staying in Orange County for a job, mainly due to the lack of friends and family, but lately, things have been looking up and I feel like I may have found a true reason to stay in the area, IF i have a job, at least.

I recntly accepted an internship that I plan to carry on for the rest of the year, in hopes that my experience with the company will hopefully lead to a full time job when i graduate in the spring. However, I am conflicted because of the fact if i stay in irvine for the job, i will be away from my friends and family, and I wouldn’y know what to do with myself. I have talked to friends and such about possible staying in the area after graduation, but i feel like these people are all talk and don’t really have a plan of action. 

This talk about the future makes me think about a whole bunch of ‘what ifs.’ Like, what if i went to school closer to home? Job opportunities would come to an area closer to home, and I would have my family and friends closer to me and i wouldn’t be afraid of being alone.

My friend just got a dog. He was my roommate two years ago and he was so annoying that i refused to room with him again. Living away from him was a good thing because i don’t see him as often even though we have the same group of friends. I felt like he wasn’t AS annoying. However, he just adopted a dog, and now i am beginning to see all of the annoying qualities that he had when i was his roommate. He is extremely cocky and arrogant. He is probably unaware of this which makes it annoying. He talks and acts like he is above you in maturity because he now has this major responsibility to take care of a dog. 

my friends told me told me to be at their place by 10am. but when i texted them at 9.50am that i was leaving in 5 minutes they said ‘u dont have to come so early’…

WTF!!!!!!
