And It's On Michigan Avenue!!!

Well, I have exciting news! Tomorrow at 2, I have an interview at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs for an internship this fall!! I had applied a while back after reading about them in Foreign Policy magazine (yeah, I'm a subscriber? So what?) But I had never heard anything, so I figured they weren't impressed with my hastily put together resume. Turns out I was wrong! Yesterday I got a call, during which I was preliminarily interviewed (totally caught off guard) and asked if I'd be interested in an internship. I said, "Of course!" and now I have a hiring interview tomorrow afternoon. The position is in the membership department, which isn't exactly what I saw myself doing, but any chance to work there is such an awesome opportunity. It's an organization that cares some serious weight in the Foreign Policy world, and having it on my resume will be amazing! And biggest perk is the chance to work events, where I can network and meet all kinds of awesome people within the policy world. Talk about amazing! I'm so excited, but super nervous. I've never had a real interview before, besides the one with The Fund, but that doesn't count. If I get the position, I'll be working 15 (minimum) hours a week, plus my 20 credit hours at school. But any fatigue will so be worth it!
