This monday I sent off my cover letters and resumes for summer internships. I figured the return rate was probably about 10% so I applied to a lot of them. The thought of having another pointless job this summer where I'd work 40 hours a week, every week, doing something with no skill involved and have minimum wage to show for it made me really sad. Internships are really important to get during college because they give you the connections to get a job when you graduate and even if you don't get a job at the place you interned, having that sort of thing on your resume puts you above the rest of the competition. I'm interested in going into either music or entertainment design when I graduate so I applied to Disney Studios, Imagineering, Dreamworks Animation, Columbia Records, Rhino Records, New Line Cinema, Warner Brothers, Rhythm and Hues Studios, and the LA County Museum of Art. Yesterday I was floored to get a call from New Line Cinema! I just applied on Monday, they're fast! Anyway, I have to call the guy back around 2 today and I'm hoping he's going to want to set up an interview. I'm very very nervous, I've never dealt with a big name company before, I hope I don't blow it. I'll probably be doing things like filing, archiving, making coffee and answering phones, but having New Line Cinema on my resume would be phenomenal so I wouldn't mind.

I'm trying to end my winter break with a lot of fun, so I'm going to see The Phantom of the Opera again tonight and then tomorrow if it doesn't rain too badly, I might go to disneyland.
