The Summer

During Spring Break I found out that ETS did not want to hire me for their summer internship program.
However, last Thursday I got a phone call from someone at ETS and I was asked to participate in the summer internship program! I'm not sure if someone turned them down or if this was just a new project that came up... either way I now have a summer internship! I will be working on a project evaluating alternative teacher assessment methods - doesn't this sound perfect for me?!!

This will be my first non-teaching professional job so to say I'm nervous would be an understatement of how I feel!! Also, I had made all of my summer plans around teaching this summer and now I have to change all those plans (flights, etc.) and find summer housing (cheap!) within the next few weeks so my stress-level/busyness-level just skyrocketed! I know it will all work out... I know I'll find a place to live... I know I'll find transportation... I know that the money will work itself out... but for now, I'm nervous/freaking out/anxious/....!!!!

If you know anyone in the Princeton, NJ area who wants to sublet to a wonderful person for two months (at a relatively cheap rate) please let me know!!

Smile: Yay for a summer internship!
Frown: Boo for not finding out about this a month ago - I feel like I'm a month behind on the job and I haven't even started yet!
