quick- an summer internship dilemma

<p>Okay. I'm sitting in this computer lab with my tie and slacks and I'm preparing to go to an architecture job fair at my school. </p>

<p>A few problems-</p>

<p>I'm a junior and I just transferred into this architecture program in january. Before, i was doing russian/math at a tiny LAC- not related at all to architecture. I'm basically a first year arch student... Actually worse. </p>

<p>I have no portfolio. I'm pretty damn creative. :-) And energetic. I have very little computer-design-program experience, but I have worked for my parents (mom-runs small interior design office, father- master electrician) doing various construction/electrical jobs in the last 3 or 4 years. </p>

<p>Do i have any chance at getting some kind of internship? How do i go about talking to these interviewers without sounding like a total architecturally-inept fool? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Zach</p>
