Maybe I should start working RIGHT NOW?!

I'm not looking to work full-time job during spring semester, but an internship that could potentially turn into a full-time job after spring seems like a good strategy. And even if it doesn't turn into a job, then it's still something else to increase my experiences and legitimize my interests. However, adding a job to a full course load, being an RA, and extracurricular activities might be a challenge... but we'll cross that road when we come to it.

I just applied to two positions (is it appropriate to give out this information?):
Gulf Coast Fund - Spring Intern
Do Something - Business Development Intern

I'll keep you posted if I hear back.
