I have been kinda freaking out the last couple of weeks trying to figure out my life, and applying to internships left and right, just to be rejected by a few. But then, I saw a few postings so I decided to take a swing in the dark and applied to them. I interviewed with the Utah Department of Health with their Arthritis Program and at Utah Valley University. The Arthritis program was tough- not the interview, but because 2 of my group members who are writing an arthritis grant with me decided to apply too. I had a feeling the interview went well, then I went and interviewed with UVU, not having a warm fuzzy feeling that i nailed the job. But then I got an email on Thursday that told me that the Utah Department of health wanted to offer me a position as an intern!!! I was sooo stoked! Especially since it starts ASAP AND it’s paid! (a paid internship is hard to come by!). When I was running off to work on Friday, I got an email from UVU extending an internship opportunity to me for January- April next year!!!!!! I didn’t think I was going to get one internship, let alone TWO !! I still have an interview with the Huntsman Cancer Institute, but that’s not until June and chances are pretty slim with them.
I am kinda nervous but still excited !!!!!!
