Week Nine

So this week, I had two projects due (one was the big one I've been working for the past four weeks or so) on Thursday evening, which made for a very stressful week. It didn't help that my boss didn't mention that these projects were due until Monday. Argh. So I think everything came out fine, but there's still some work to be done. My boss decided to consult a few more colleagues about possible resources that I should check before turning this thing in. So I'm waiting to hear from him about that. Other than that, this week went pretty smoothly.

I also had a phone interview with the guy from my friend Sam's PR firm in Berlin. It went very well, and he seemed to really like me. However, it appears that the other candidates have a "more stable" status here in Germany than I do (translation: they already have work visas), so it doesn't look like I will be moving to Berlin any time soon. This is a bit of a relief, since the whole opportunity was very sudden and didn't give me much time to think about what I want. However, I'm definitely having trouble getting anyone in the U.S. to take me seriously as a candidate right now, since I'm so far away. That kind of sucks.

This weekend should be pretty good. Some other interns went to a club last night and invited me to join them, but I was pretty beat from this work week, so I took it easy at home instead. Tonight, however, there is a beer festival in Mainz! This should be really fun. That's probably the plan for the next couple of days.

In other news, next week's entry will probably be late, since I'm taking a short four-day vacation to Malaga in Spain!! I'm very excited. Not only is Malaga a beach-front city on the Mediterranean (where I've never been before), it is also the birthplace of Picasso! Which means I'll be doing some sight-seeing. As if that weren't enough to recommend it, it has a BCBG store (there are none anywhere in Germany! I was so sad) and also a little boutique for this cool new brand I'm getting into. Night life is also supposed to be pretty good. Here's hoping for a good relaxing week!
