Update

So. I've found myself an internship.
  • It's at a fantastic organization, doing advocacy for refugees in Africa. Just what I want. To use the privileges of my education to magnify the voices of those whom the world ignores.
  • It's only two days a week, and it's unpaid. Crap.

Well, at least you can say you are not one of those taking money out of projects in DC that would better be used in Africa.

Hahaha, this is true.

I'm not really feeling TOO sorry for myself. I'm more just complaining for the sake of complaining.

I'll quit it pretty soon and go back to my happy self! :p

Amen to that. I know exactly what you mean. I feel the same way.

Oh how I long for a job that pays me money.

I've been working part time in this menial, menial job, earning ten bucks an hour before taxes, to afford to work at my internship -- and I STILL can't pay my rent. SIGH!!!!
