I have a lot to think about this quarter before my Washington D.C. trip as I finalize plans for my senior year. My supervisors at my internship know I’ll be gone for the summer, as they were the ones who wrote my recommendation letter for the program! But I had to officially talk to them about the possibility of not returning this week. They said I could come back in the fall, which is a great offer, but is it the right choice?
I’m also waiting on where I will be an RA next year. My first choice is Buckeye Village, which is located right across the street from my current internship. It would be so logical and easy to come back…no more long bus rides! But I might not end up there….and there’s a chance I might not end up anywhere! Then what?
I also want to run for an Executive Board position with the Civic Leadership Council, an organization I am in through the John Glenn School of Public Affairs. This is only a possibility, but if it happens it would help if I wasn’t too far from campus, and if I wasn’t overbooking myself like I so often do.
Plus with applications for graduate school/law school (I haven’t even thought about the GREs or LSATs yet), and the important goal I have of writing an Honors Senior Thesis, I want to have as much free time as possibly.
I’ve gained a great deal from my internship, but maybe it’s time to leave and focus on my plans for after graduation (nothing really screams “law school” on my resume right now). But that also means I’d be leaving the pay check, and I’ll probably need money more than ever. I wish I knew now what next year was going to look like, but I have a lot to consider first….and not much time to do it!
