Well, here I am at the end of spring break. One class is down for the semester and one left to go. I am trying hard not to stress myself out and get burned out right now, but that's easier said than done. I have not been able to get anything done towards my capstone project. There just has not been time. In between working full time, hours of homework each night and trying to run a household on my own, I just have not had the chance to search for an internship.
I think an internship is the way for me to go instead of field work at my job. An internship would open me up to something different where my degree would be useful. Having said that, I want to make sure that I find exactly what I'm looking for and not settle on just anything because it's available. That is going to take time. My advisor asked me to think big like my dream job. Right now, my dream job is something that goes above living paycheck to paycheck. So, I have no clue what that's going to be. Also, one of the cons of an internship is that it will be unpaid, and I am going to have to save up for my living expenses during that time. That will take a while. It's doable, but it's not going to magically appear in my bank account overnight.
While this will push my graduation back a year, I think that is what is best. This capstone is going to be the only real-time, hands-on experience that I get in this degree program, and I am NOT going to waste it. I just need time to find it. That is all.
