The noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees is the high-road that leads him to England

I went today to visit my exroommate Nana who now lives in an apartment in North Hollywood. I hadn't seen her since she graduated because she was gallivanting around the world (England, Scotland, Thailand, and Australia) on her post-graduation trip. We went to get pizza and she showed me all her pictures from her trip. I told her how jealous I was that she got to travel all those places AND study abroad for a whole semester. The fine arts major at USC is huge and I can't spare the time to study abroad and I cant study abroad during the summer b/c I need to intern to stay competitive with the job market. She said to me "Well, why don't you intern abroad?" At the time this sounded a little far fetched but when I got home I went online and actually found that there are places that are like the office of overseas study, only instead of studying abroad they help hook you up with places to intern. You have to find housing, food, and flights on your own, but they get you in touch with businesses there where you could intern. So not only could I graduate on time, but I could get the experience of interning in a foreign city. They even offered graphic and web design internships. After this year's Sony internship fiasco, there's no way I'm going for an internship at a big company. The program usually lasts 8 weeks so that would be the perfect amount of time to be away. European design is done pretty differently depending on what countries you go to, so to be able to intern somewhere out there would be amazing. I would probably choose to do it here in Edinburgh or in London, although living in Edinburgh is sure to be cheaper.





Anyways, it's just a thought now, but besides the extra money to live abroad rather than at home for 2 months, it seems to allow me everything I could want for next summer. I'll look into it more and see if it would be a good idea.

Anyone want to come with?
