add something else to the mix

So I want this Costco job... duh. But I've also applied for an internship with Spreenkler which is a marketing agency of sorts downtown that specializes in social media. Hello, perfect for a 20-something, don't you think? Anyway, I wasn't too sure about it at first because it seemed like a nice place, but I had this Costco thing on my mind and another internship that since hasn't worked out. So I had my interviews today... totally lost track of time before I left, by the way, and half-ran/half-fell down the stairs in my heels as I hustled to get out the door. I made it in plenty of time actually and the interviews went well. Uh, except for the first words that came out of my mouth... 

"So you know about the Human Whiteboard Experiment." "Oh no, what's that?" "Uh, that's what we're interviewing for today..." "Oh! I didn't realize that was the name of it..."

My brain doesn't work at all sometimes, I swear. I hope everything else that came out of my mouth was more intelligent. I initally thought this internship was 40 hours paid (yay!) but it has turned out to be 20 hours paid and 20 unpaid hours of training. Not so great as far as my finances are concerned, but I don't think you can put a price on an experience like this. Its amazing, really it is, but I am at a point now where I have no idea what I want. Costco marketing would be better as far as $ is concerned and it wouldn't end at the conclusion of the summer like the Spreenkler thing would. However, doing cold-calling and selling memberships is only going to get me so far... the Spreenkler thing would be much better experience. Gah! I just hope something works out for me... because if I spend the summer serving hot dogs, I might die...
