Spending a rainy day applying for internships

It’s a very drizzly day…

and I’m bored filling out applications to work for the NSA this summer (and slightly annoyed that they have a ridiculously early, October 15th, deadline).

I decided to apply for the NSA positions to keep my options open; the consulting positions that I’ll be applying for later on are notoriously difficult to get. For all I know, the NSA jobs will be even more difficult, but it would be nice to do some national service this summer. Working for the NSA or the State Department would definitely give me a good sense of what working for the government is like (which, I hope, is better than what I’ve heard).
