Job... interview????
So out of the (40+?) emails and resumes I sent out looking for an internship, I ACTUALLY got a response with ‘when would you be able to start?’. No mention of interview or anything. Im not going to get my hopes up. Since few weeks ago, I am not really expecting to get anything for summer.
