Money Changes Everything

So I got some kind of bummer news on Friday from Corscience:

"Due to the world wide financial crisis our CEO does not approve any costs for trainees during the next months even if there is a lot of work to do. So I am not allowed to offer you a paid internship in our company.

Please let me know if you are even interested in an unpaid internship, if yes we can immediately sign the contract."

It's nice to know that they would like to have me, but with the way things are and the costs involved with getting to and living in another country for 3-4 months, there is just no way I can take an unpaid internship. I'm kind of bummed, but I guess that's the way it goes sometimes, especially with the world economy the way it is. Everyone needs money and no one has it. Well, with the exception of Bernie Madoff's wife, who claims to have $69,000,000 independently of her husband because she wrote a kosher cookbook. If only we could all be so lucky. Maybe she would like to pay for my internship?

Well, I guess now I just sit tight and hope one of the other companies can afford to offer me a job.

To lift everyone's spirits, here's this adorable picture of Emily. Until next time!
