deciding internship

나 참 살다 살다 이런 고민은 처음 해 본다.
I never had so many options to choose from.

1) Working with the cops sounds like fun (considering the look on the faces of those cop 아가들 when a long-haired girl -- ME-- walked by.. hehehe),
and the 아저씨 who interviewed me seemed very pleased with my answers (about how we shouldn't label immigrant workers as potential criminals).
Befriending cops will no doubt be a great way to establish new human networks,
and I think I can make some positive changes in that division.
But the transportation is not so convenient and thus I will probably be late every morning.
I don't know.. This job is on the bottom of my priority list and I think I'm going to call them now to let them know I don't want the job.

2) MOFAT has always been my 로망.
BUT the division that I will be working in isn't exactly related to what I want to study in law school.
I'm sure it will be a great opportunity nevertheless,
AND I have a friend working in the next room so we can be lunch buddies.
BUT the work does seem a bit tedious and I don't think I will learn a lot from it.
(BUT that's probably the same with any internship in a 관공서...)

3) The job at MCST is most relevant to what I want to study in law school (trade and IPR!),
but they haven't contacted me yet.
If I get this job, I will be torn between this one and the one at MOFAT.
But I was late for the interview and they didn't seem so pleased about that.
Maybe I won't get it after all.

4) VIETNAM. This is the job that I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally want.
This job will get me out of this country (oh how I miss warm countries in winter!),
let me experience living and working in a foreign country, and living on my own,
and let me learn a bundle of new knowledge.
Plus, this is the job that pays the most. (Private sector rules!)
The contract ends in August, so I'll have enough time to study and make applications after I come back to Korea.
But they haven't contacted me yet... they said they'll make the announcements by the 10th.
And I'm getting impatient.....................



I suddenly feel so competent-_-;;;
I feel so different from last week -- I was angry, confused, and thought maybe I lacked competence, that I wasn't good enough, even for an intership.
Now I'm becoming so arrogant as to think, if I applied for 'real' jobs in companies I would mave landed a few.
