Waiting is Always the Hardest Part
My third externship is now only 4 months away, so time is really starting to wind down. As of yet, I still have absolutely no idea where I'm going to end up. I've discovered in recent years, that I am quite the "Type A" personality. And other than our itemized, alphabetical, typed, to-do list, we "A" personalities also MUST have a solid plan in order to make moves. As a result, not knowing what my externship will be is, unsurprisingly, making me nervous!
There just seems to be so many uncertain factors that are playing a major role in my decision making. For example, a few weeks ago, I had my interviews for the Navy externship. In addition to that, I'm also applying for a different externship in my home state and even externships in the nearby state of Georgia. All totally different places, that all do totally different things, and so every one of these sites, would require a totally different plan of action.
It's overwhelming and exciting at the same time. I almost wish I could just go to sleep and wake up knowing where I was going to go for my third and fourth year. My family, of course, is hoping I move much closer to home, and I wish the same. At the same time, I'm willing to sacrifice a LITTLE distance for a great experience. I know I'm not the only one, however. I've talked to my fellow classmates, and we all seem to be in the same boat. I also am not the only one trying to move at the speed of light to find a conclusion to this "saga". I know I must remind myself to be patient with the process, and soon I will be on my way to a great site to begin a wonderful experience.
