Speaking of the future.

Planet College offers vast opportunities to get bound down in the everyday mundane pursuits of just getting through the term. When is that paper due? Do I need a Scantron? Can I park here without a permit? These things continually demand our attention. And it is difficult often to remember why you are on Planet College. The future disappears in a flood of daily details. Here's a question about your future. Where are you working this summer? Same job, or are you going away? Park ranger? Camp Counselor? Internship? If it is the same place you have been working then you don't have much to plan or think about. But if you're trying for that slot as a tutor for the special needs camp or assistant stage manager at the Shakespeare Festival this summer then it is time to prepare your application. Right now. Application filled out? Letters of recommendation included. Reference list available. Summer is coming. It really is. If you really want that position, get on it now.
