Stop me if you think you've heard this one before.

Man, when it rains, it pours...

Apart from the fact that it rained 37.1 inches in 24 hours on Tuesday, in the span of 12 hours I have been:

1) Offered a job by the directors of ICHRL as Asst. Unit Co-Ordinator of CASH (Campaign Against Sexual Harassment)
2) Shortlisted for a phone interview with Amnesty Intl. San Francisco
3) Shortlisted for a phone interview with Amnesty Intl. NYC for their "Fall Internship Against Violence Against Women" in their research department.

A few days ago, I was also informed that I had been shortlisted for an internship with AI Washington D.C.

Um. Assuming that I get any of these three internships, what the hell do I do? On one hand, making money will be fun. It'll also look pretty good on my CV that after 3 weeks of interning, ICHRL wanted me as a full-time employee. On the other, I could realise my lifelong dream of being involved with Amnesty. And God knows that'll look good for my grad school applications. Plus I'll be a lot closer to a lot of people I love and miss. But there'll be no money involved, and I'm not really sure I can afford that right now...

I have no idea if I should reply to their requests for phone interviews or not, for the simple reason that if I do get the chance to intern for AI, the temptation might be too much to resist...
