INSANE

I can't believe it's only been a week since I first started working at AQUAholics Anonymous. I still can't believe how fast I managed to score this internship. They interviewed me on the 10th, and then they called me back 3 hours later asking if I could come in for training the following Tuesday. Ever since, I've been working hard to build water conservation projects with the other intern and student director. It's a really fast-paced job, but it's also really chill.

Earlier this summer, I also found out that I got the Bonobo internship at the SD Zoo starting in the Fall through the Winter. I'm not sure what that one will entail, but I guess I'll find out once Fall Quarter starts. I'm excited.

Even though both of them are unpaid, I'm getting really good experience for my resume. It's unreal. It all started when I had to look for a project for my ESYS Senior Internship. I thought it'd be hard considering my lack of experience, but damn. Now I have 2 lined up, and I'm not sure which one I want to use.

To top it off, I'm going to help a Kiwanian with a PowerPoint project. She's working on a seminar for Mobile TV Systems, and she's paying for PowerPoint help! $10/hour, expected 60 hours. That's $600 + potential bonuses! But the scope of the project seems a bit scary. She's preparing it for a 2-day technical seminar. She said it might be up to 300 slides! Holy crap. I'm going to meet up with her on Thursday to discuss her notes/vision. But yay for a paid job?? haha
