Holy summer plans, batman
Reasons to do CTY

I loved first session
Internship isn't paid. CTY is.
May not even get internship i'm trying for, may have nothing else to do
Living in brooklyn with grandmother = no social life, no internet
Living in jersey = mega commute, family, no transportation
ability to maybe, possibly do summer school (while living in one of the above places)
or if not summer school, substitute teach
ability to have a month in between to do something (i dont know what)
a chance to put my all into CTY and do an amazing job
a chance to be friends with val again

Reasons to not do CTY

I should be doing something new, be it good or bad
Second session and I did not get along
I made a bad impression - old mistakes can be haunting
No Max for 6 whole weeks
Being one of those whiny I miss my boyfriend types
Disillusionment with the system
Money isn't an issue now, but may be later when I have no work experience and hence no job...

Oy. I have no clue what to do. Any thoughts?

Reasons why you should do CTY again?

Well frankly, love, what do you think you'll have more fun doing?

By the way, most of the troublesome and overly friendly kids from the second session have passed on. Myself included. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get along so much with the second session. We loved you anyway.

Plus, it's only 6 weeks of your summer. Max can visit you. He'll be fabulous about it, I am SURE.

what about CTY at a different site?

or. if you could take away last summer, both the good and the bad, as well as future things like jobs etc. ... what do you see yourself enjoying most?

that may not be the best way of going about things, as both previous experience and future...job possibilities...are important issues, however...

I say beg for a position just to leave your options open. What about a part time internship (so that the commuting wouldn't be such an issue) and a part time job in jersey (for money)? Or what about internship but spend a lot of time with ME (hopfully getting free summer housing at Barnard, cross fingers!) instead of grandmother?

Dani-bella Starbucks (my new made up nickname)

P.S. thanks for the IMs. I think she's actually gonna be ok - they moved her to a reg room today, which is always a good sign!

Hey, you! Listen, I am thrilled that there's a spot open at Saratoga. Please don't think that because I didn't answer your IMs that I don't want you to go. (if that made any sense) I was away. I was just so stressed about having to teach kids today that I left my computer on.

Plus, this gave me a chance to collect my thoughts.

Those are all good reasons, but I'm sure some count more than others for you. Eliminate all the reasons that are minor, so you're left with the ones that matter most. Personally, I would love to work with you.

But I don't think you should work there for the wrong reasons, you know? If you're unhappy with the administration, that probably won't change. (unless the administration changes) It's almost two months of your summer, so you should make sure you'll be happy there before you decide to go.

If you get an internship that reflects a real interest of yours, do it. Soon you'll graduate, and you'll have to choose a career path, and the more information you know on some of them, the better.
