Graduating soon....

Well, I guess I will be graduating at the end of 2008. I prayed and tried looking for co-op/internship in the USA for the past 5 months. However, unfortunately for me, most companies only hire US citizens for those positions. Or at least that is what most of the companies said after trying to offer me the co-op/internship positions because they thought I was American. As soon as they found out that I was not a US citizen, they dropped me like a hot potato. Sigh....

Anyway, I was told by "professional" advisors and several friends that it is normal for US companies to not hire internationals for co-op/internship. Maybe the poor economy in US is partly to be blamed. Oh well.... I am sure God knows what He is doing because He has always been taking care of all my needs. I really thank God for that, less stressful and does wonders to keep pimples off my face :P

That is the way it is here. What are you up to this summer?

Nothing much, was busy trying to get a co-op/internship position the whole time. But now that I've decided to just finish up my studies, I'm a little free now. I've volunteered to help out with the incoming of international students, but that won't happen until the semester is about to begin.
