No, it is still bitterly cold here and summer seems so far far away (but weather forecast shows a positive 2-digit temperature next week so it is not all bad).
I was talking to my office mate today about wanting to find an internship for the summer and it turns out that it is basically now or too late. The problem is that if I don't get an internship, I'll have to secure a TA job for the summer semester, which I was told is very hard to come by because of the number of courses that are available. And the economic situation now means it is harder to find an internship too. Someone from Google came for a seminar last week and actually said so :S.. Man do I hate being an international student...
So, my grand plan is to submit my CV to virtually everywhere, here, UK, Australia, NZ even :p otherwise I'll have stay here without any income for 3 months, probably living off my savings, in which case traveling anywhere near Europe this summer is simply impossible (because I still have to pay rent! unless I sublease it.. hmm). Curses! :(
At least, if I get something in Australia or NZ, it would be a good excuse to go home for 3 months hehehe... I don't quite hate that idea. Finding an internship in UK will just be uber nice though :D
Oh well, I'll see how it goes - all this brings back the memory of job hunting... and the fact that I'll have to go through this again when I graduate. Oh the horror.

One rejection already from IBM UK :| not too disappointed because I am expecting up to 98% rejection (due to lack of geeky awesomeness. har-har). I've applied to so many places it's gonna be hard to keep track of things.
