Good Luck

I have decisions to make. Decisions that are hurting my head.

Decision one revolves around my internship. After 6 weeks of...nothing, I think this may not be the place for me. I am the only intern without a specific task. I mean yesterday he asked me to sort the mail and this was after he asked me to open the closet. What for, I have yet to know.

I know an internship is suppose to suck. I am suppose to do tasks that a fourth grader could do. I actually don't mind those tasks. But it seems like besides opening and closing doors, I serve no real purpose and I am not learning ANYTHING! For 35 dollars a week, I sit at a desk waiting for Lenny to give me a task, and more often then not he has nothing for me. Nothing.

Yesterday all four interns were there and I was the only one without a specific thing to do. Eventually Lenny said he wanted me to make a visual representation of what images we do and don't have for this 2 year camera project. I spent the whole day collecting the dates information and then creating an excel spreadsheet of cataloguing what days pictures were successful taken in each month since 2007.

At the end of the day Lenny was "pleased" with what I made but wanted a more visual presentation. You know with colors and stuff, maybe even a graph. I have yet to figure out if I can catalogue dates for each month using a bar graph.

Regardless, I am seriously considering letting Lenny know that I am swamped with grad school stuff and that the opportunity there has been great but...I 'need to focus on getting my ass into school for a while'. My mom (who has listened to me bitch about this internship) is all up for me calling it quits there. Marie thinks it's a bad idea. That it won't look good on my resume.

I don't know. I am going to make a decision this weekend. I mean I feel like I already know what I am going to do but I'd like to weigh my options.

I'm going to get some sleep. My lids are very heavy and i have a long day in the city tomorrow.

P.S. I forgot how much I love this song!
