Conflicted. I was presented yesterday with the opportunity to apply for a 22-week independent study program at a private practice nutrition center while still earning college credits. Evidently, it is one of the places I've been eyeing to contact this summer for an internship anyway. I need to be available every Wednesday from 2 - 6pm from the beginning of June to the end of October. However, when my classes do start, my last class on Wednesdays goes from 1 - 1:50pm, but is a heavy science course (or from what I hear; it's Organic Chem). I would have to leave class every Wednesday at least a half hour early from day 1 until the end of October to go to this internship, if I do get it. I'm afraid I'm going to miss out too much and then not be able to pass my exams.
And of course then there's work. My manager likes to give me all these extra hours. I'm practically full-time right now going to school part-time, which is somewhat nice since I need the money, and my classes this semester are not that demanding at all. But if I take this internship on, I feel like I may not have time to work that often given my student schedule. I'm taking 2 science courses with labs, in which two days out of the week I'm at campus all day until late afternoon. I can still work Tuesday mornings, Thursdays, Friday mornings, and Saturdays. I don't want to work Sundays as that is usually my day for catching up on things around the house and relaxing.
So... to apply or not to apply? I feel like I would be kicking myself for missing such a good opportunity. I need to make a decision fast as I need to submit a resume and cover letter to the director by the 29th. Even if I don't get it, at least I tried...?
