Summer Vacation - What's on Your Agenda?

<p>I want to see what everyone has been doing for their summer vacation.
Work?
School?
Travelling?
Volunteering?
Interning?</p>

<p>Where do you live, ilovecalifornia?</p>

<p>Right now I'm living in Los Angeles, more specifically the Santa Monica / Marina del Rey area so I can easily commute to UCLA. Although, my parent's house is located in Orange County.</p>

<p>Work, school and traveling. I may start "interning" soon. It would really be more like shadowing since it would not be through the school. I was thinking of going to Italy but I just don't have time.</p>

<p>work, work. applied to some internships for the fall though, hopefully i get them :)</p>

<p>i intern at the statehouse... im going to aruba on sunday. im pretty souped.</p>

<p>hobofromdowntown, where are you going this Fall? The last I remember, you were appealing your decision for UCLA.</p>

<p>Also, where/who did you go through to find internships. I'm currently working a part-time job and I'm sure not if I should drop it to intern or do both.</p>

<p>going to usc for spring.</p>

<p>i looked at craigslist (mostly junk but sometimes you find something) and monstertrak. i applied to 3 places around the la area.</p>

<p>i work 45 hours a week <em>sigh</em> i love my job, if only it wasn't so time consuming...i feel like i wake up, work, sleep, wake up work, sleep lol</p>

<p>I just realized that you could spell traveling/travelling in two ways.</p>

<p>ilovecalifornia, where do you work if you don't mind me asking?</p>

<p>lol at this nonprofit organization...i canvass door to door <em>yea i know it sounds </em><em>ty</em> but its actually cool...but the pay is unpredictable..i got lucky this week so i average like 15/hour...it just depends..</p>

<p>That's awesome, man. It's better than what I do! Lucky for me I at least get around $15/hr as well.</p>

<p>i get paid 14/hr to do essentially 3 hours of work and then surf the web/chat for the next 5 hrs.</p>

<p>^
I so want an office job right now...
I sure do miss working at a law firm...sort of!</p>

<p>haha, if i get an internship i'm quitting this job - its wayyy too boring and i'm really not learning anything</p>

<p>Off-topic:</p>

<p>Have any of you joined a club at your community college that promotes your race / culture? i.e. if you are Indian and you joined a Desi Club. I just wanted to find out what exactly those type of clubs do and how it is like.</p>

<p>No, but I would like to. I am not sure if they have a hispanic club at my school I will have to check.</p>

<p>nope, they sound lame.</p>

<p>where do you work at?</p>

<p>I work at a sushi restaurant in the West Hollywood / Beverly Hills area. Actually, I don't know why I'm working there because I absolutely hate it. Working with food is not my idea of a great time, but it is the easiest place for me to find a job...</p>

<p>hook me up with some sushi :)</p>
