Internship in NASHVILLE that I'm looking at..
My friend IM'd me earlier today, asking me if I ever thought of doing internships, and I told her that I have done some thinking.. and she told me that CMT does internships, and I was like, oh really? And she said there's a opening slot that's SCREAMING my name to be in there.. ;) So, It'd be a really good opportunity for me considering what I want to do as a career and it is RIGHT in Nashville, exactly my dream.. AND I'd do it THIS SUMMER...SO, YA KNOW WHAT?! I'M GOING TO DO IT! First I thought, um, but who am I gonna live with, I don't really want to go down there on my own, and my mom said.. Rachel, you don't THINK about that right now, just think about that internship and go for it, if you get accepted, then we will figure it out! :) So this whole thing is WORTH a shot.. so we'll see what happens!!
She sent me this: (also sent me the whole email, with the entire information I'd need to know & what I'd have to do to send in applications & whatnots)
