"I'm Anya! I like money better than people! People can rarely be exchanged for goods and services!"

Apparently the jobbyjob I was solicited about last Friday is actually an internship. Which, in itself, is not a bad thing, except that it's also unpaid. ^^;;;;

Now, don't get me wrong: I want real-world experience. I don't mind taking an unpaid internship *at all.* The only real problem is that, y'know, I probably wouldn't have a place to live, because most places want money in exchange for silly things like water, electricity, and internet access. So, in effect, I *CAN'T* survive unless I pull down at least ~$500/month. And that's bare minimum. I also need to keep putting money into savings, so I'll have something to live on post-grad if I don't find a job right away. Bugger.

Still, I did get stuck with only 13 credits for next term, thanks to schedule conflicts and the registrar's complete lack of help, so maybe, *maybe*, this is something I could do? And it runs into the summer, when I'll have a lot more time for things in general. And it'll give me something more corporate to put on my resume. *And* I'll get experience with Quark Xpress, which is something I don't have at the moment.

I must ponder this. And ask them how many hours they're looking for.

question!

okay, not to freak you out, but if you haven't guessed I've read your journal (duh)

And I've noticed your major is along the lines of Japanese and Design.

My only question is, what is the actual title of your major, and are you going for an Associate's or Bachelor's? I'm trying to pick a college that basically has what you're taking, only.. closer to here.

The Japanese is not really a part of my major, but that's just because I already have math/CS requirements for a B.S. I think most kids in my major have to take at least 2 years of a foreign language to get their B.A. general eds taken care of.

Otherwise, the design stuff = a Multimedia Design major.
