the -REAL- world?

By popular demand, I was asked to continue writing my blog over the summer break. (Sorry A. and T., for the long dry period. But I guess life outside college dosen't give you quite as much to write about...)
SO!
The first year of college is over (already?) and 4 months vacation are ahead. It's the time when we either want sun lotion on our faces, or mon€y in our wallets! In my case, I wanted both. So I decided to work a little, and then go on vacation. After all, some work experience looks better on a resume, than a postcard, right? So last monday, after a month-long search, I magically found myself starting an internship in the PR department of a bank (it's just a tiny little internship - I'm gonna be out of here in 4 weeks). Enough to get a little idea, of what life outside college might look like and what I certainly don't want to do. PR is fun - BUT not when having to talk about a bank. Anybody studying finance here? Certainly not me! But my eyes + ears are open for new experiences, and I am happy I actually have important things to do here. Interns are often used to do busy work and make coffee. But in my case, my help is actually needed. So even though I'm at the lowest point of the office hierarchy, I'm a little proud of myself. When I will finally go on vacation in 4 weeks, my suitcase will be filled with summer clothes and self-esteem.
