Yes, I need an internship in my field of study. I need to complete 240 hours and most internships do this by having you work full time for a summer. In addition I need to register for the internship class (at $5,000) to get credit for it. I will take the class next fall when I can get a loan to pay for it, but that still leaves me with no income for the summer.
I have been using my school's database to search for internships, the problem is my specialization. The Human Computer Interaction kids get internships that pay them $20 an hour. The best I have found for me is $10, and most don't pay at all.

Yeah, I was enjoying being with him. I like him a lot. I guess it's just that he wants to be more casual, or maybe date lots of people or something. I don't know. He just said "I don't think this is what I want".
And yes, a learning experience. I've said it before but I am hoping this time it will be for definite; no more dating. No more rushing into things. This has shown me very vividly that I can't handle being with someone if it isn't likely to last forever (or at least as long as forever means in these things), so there's no point getting involved and making it hard for someone else. I'm sure he feels bad about hurting me.

Might be a stupid question on my part but how do you know something might last forever?
Redball:
With each relationship, you do the best you can and hope for the best. Whether you rush into things or not, I hope you meet lots of guys and hang out with a few of them and maybe even lose your heart to two or three -- serially, of course.
It reminds me that after my parents' divorce, followed years later by my own, I had hopes but no enormous expectations that my second marriage would last forever. When it lasted longer than either of my parents' two marriages, I was a little surprised. Quite proud, too, that I hadn't screwed it up.

Wait - I think you have part of that backwards.
You should date. You don't commit yourself to a pair of shoes without trying them on, do you? Take a few steps, so you can say "No way", or "...mmmmaybe". That's what dating's for. If someone seems really compatible, then you can go further with things, at a reasonable pace. It's the opposite of "rushing into things".
Unless, of course, you fall for every person you date. That's a hazard.
