Better Day
Today started better than the best couple days have wound up. (Perhaps for lack of an event requiring it? J/k...BizOrg joke (BizOrg = business organization).)
It appears that I will get an internship after all, which is exciting...kind of. It's not the one I wanted...there may be a lot of work. However, it seems that the schedule will be rather flexible. Plus, it will be a good resume builder...which I DESPERATELY need. But, that means I need to get my FB page together...you know, to look official/professional. Sigh. I'm not sure I can pull it off. But, then again, self-doubt and loathing is my strong suit...before you get upset thinking I'm being ridiculous, it's been said that "it's not bagging if it's true." So, despite what you may think, I'm not just full of myself.
I bought tickets today for the various legs of my trip to Europe later. I have a layover in Amsterdam. I wish there was enough time to enjoy the Netherlands...alas, it'll just be another opportunity in my life that I'll have to fee liked I missed. C'est la vie. Qu'est-ce qu'on fait? The good news is that the layover should be the perfect amount of time to get to the next gate and catch my breath from running. Score!
My sister was kind enough to let me crash at her place in Switzerland for the few days before I have to be in Spain. That'll give me a chance to get over the jet lag. Luckily, the jaunt from there to Madrid is less than two hours. The timing for checking in that day should be perfect.
So, my summer will be: Internship in Dallas, brief stay en Suisse, studying abroad in Spain, nannying in Swtizerland. Not too shabby.

Not too shabby at all! Congrats on the internship and enjoy your trip.
I am sure you will have a wonderful summer. What a great experience for you. Congratulations.
Wow.
I'm going to say it again.
Wow.
With that kind of summer, there is no reason to feel like you've missed any opportunities.
@NCTHope - Thanks! It's a research position and I'm super nervous. But, research practice is always invaluable...no matter how mind-racking it can be!
@ZSA_MD - I think so too. Thanks!
@lanney - I know. It just seems like everyone has epic Amsterdam/The Netherlands stories. At the very least, I can add another country to my places-I've-visited list...even if for one hour. But, it also means that I've broken my rule against going to countries where I don't speak the language.
Very cool about the internship and congrats. Your summer sounds full of adventure and learning experiences.
