So I applied for an externship a couple weeks ago through my school. It involves going to Germany for three weeks and helping to teach english there to people corporate businesses. It's only open to freshman and sophomores at my school, and there's a good chance that I might get it.
Now, I really want to get it, but also I kind of don't...
PROS
-3 weeks in Germany, hello.
-it will look awesome on resumes, etc.
-I'll get better and hopefully more fluent in german
-My mom, sister, and grandmother will be in italy at the time, i could take a day off and hang with them
CONS
-it starts right after my spring quarter ends, which is in june, which means my summer won't start til july
-I have to pay for the airline tickets (i dont get paid for the externship)
-My mom and my sister will be gone at that time too, and my dad wanted to take me to florida at that time. if i get the externship, he'll be all alone and i'll feel guilty.
-My job at home might not be secure... since other college kids will be home in May to start working again, and I won't be there til July.
Halp.
