So starting tomorrow, I'll be attending an internship at a company near my home. The email description said I'll probably be working Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 3 PM. The internship runs from tomorrow (June 24th) to August 13th. It's an unpaid internship, but the experience will be more than worth it, since I'll be working with a well known and respected company and it'll look good on my resume, and it'll be getting experience in doing something I think I want to do after I get out of school. ...
