Well, today I sent out my resume and a cover letter to Houghton Mifflin. I'm applying for a summer (June-August) internship... Their decisions are made in March and April, and I'm assuming that I'll know in May whether I'm in or not.

Sending out my resume was scary... on the one hand, I'm glad it's done and that it's on its way. On the other hand, once that paper left my hands, there's nothing I can do but wait and nit-pick about all the mistakes I probably made in writing it.

I'm wondering if, in a week or so, I should e-mail the human resources chick I sent it to, to confirm that she recieved it and thank her for reading it. Or, if I should just let it ride and wait it out.

I -really- want this position. If I get it, it means finding an apartment I can rent for 3 months in Boston, buying a corporate America-appropriate wardrobe...and somehow paying for all of -that- before I even start. It'll be great experience, and if I like it, my path after graduation very well may be publishing.

Anyway...I'm super nervous, as I just mailed it out a little while ago. I hope this goes away...I can't be nervous like this from now until May! I'll go insane!
