Internship!!!!

So... I got the internship at UMass Med (Commonwealth Med, Marketing Analytics)! The day started like this- mom came in, waking me up, telling me that Shaws had called to ask me to come in any time today. I was very sloth-like in getting up, but called Shaws and got a 5 and a half hour shift. Woo.... NAHT. I got ready, went to work, and found that I was covering the self-scan person's shift. Well... this was my first time working there since the beginning of January and I didn't even remember if I had self-scan override numbers. After some ridiculousness, I got my friend's numbers until I could get my own. The day was the usual... somewhat dreadful with a nice person every now and again. It was nearing my break and my phone starting ringing. It was UMass (Worcester). I wouldn't have had enough time to run to the breakroom before it went to voicemail... but my coworker (also a supervisor) told me to GOOOOO and ANSWER IT and THEN my break would start, but this call was more important. And that's when it happened... I got the internship! Only 2 more days at Shaws... the long weekend... and then I start working 40 hours a week.

This is all wonderful!... except for one thing. I thought I would hear from UMass last Friday. I didn't so I emailed my resume to a guy that had a possible internship in Woburn (just over an hour drive). He called me 5 minutes later and was very interested. The pay is better with that one... but... the internship wasn't approved by his company yet and he'd be able to tell me more about it by mid- this week. Alas, UMass called first! And it's WAAAAAAY closer. So I took it, because, as my mum says, it's best to take what's certain and sure than wait and find out the other one won't happen, as awesome as it would be.

Yikes!
