Let me say right now, I think that the internship application process has gotten entirely out of control. 20 years ago, I'm not sure they had internships, frankly I'm not sure they even had electricity. Summer jobs were just that, jobs that young people found after getting home from college. Nowadays one is required to begin in October (i.e. shortly after starting a new year of school) preparing for the next summer.
I have applied to a variety of jobs with the major Wall St. shops both in NY and China, but another extended period of time in China is looking more and more likely.
Meanwhile, this time is quickly drawing to a close, I will be in Shanghai next Saturday (my 22nd birthday, coincidentally) and will be on a plane from Shanghai's Pudong International Airport to Osaka, Japan that Sunday. I must say I am getting very excited to go home and simply CHILL. China does not lend itself well to chilling, everything is ultra sped up and you're always moving at 1000 miles an hour. A nice morning on my couch with Sportscenter will ail whats hurting, that I'm sure of.
I also think I may have started going insane because I now only have dreams about things from home. Obviously family and friends, that is to be expected, but last night the majority of my dream was me ordering and then eating my favorite pizza from Sunrise in Rye. I've had dreams solely about driving, putting on hockey gear, debating the Sawx with Joel, and lounging on Bates's couch. Clearly I'm losing it or I really miss the friendly confines of Rye and Middlebury.
I have to wait two weeks to get home, but I expect them to fly by. I only have exams this week (consisting of a written test I just finished, two essays, also already finished, and three seven minute oral presentations). I have twenty-one minutes of school left in China. How do you like them apples? And then a week in Kyoto, which is guaranteed to be baller. Off to have a suit made for $50.00 Until next time.
