billion dollar brain

[theladyrose]

My father has way too much fun describing his roach killing exploits. Though it's not as scary as knowing that he, a geeky class valdectorian, had at least six times as many dates as I did by the time he was my age.

The finance presentation today possibly squished my brain like a rotten watermelon being run over on my street. Seriously, all of the vague considerations I had for business school pretty much crawled into a hole and died; my fellow IHLers are smart, but most of us (I presume) don't really know anything about private equity and investment banking. I would've been even more lost if my mother didn't randomly give me economics lectures during dinner. Tonight we calculated that while you'd make $10/hr at the internship they're offering, the cost of transportation and lunch alone would eat up any profit.

In other words, it looks like I better look for a summer job elsewhere. I'm seriously considering trying to find some kind of tutoring work but I don't know how many places would hire a mere high school grad. I've heard that SCORE is decent.

Well... I secretly hoped I could invite you to Hungary for the summer, but if you find a good job... Just keep in mind, that for years, this might be your last real summer for a long time. College-related activities usually cover too much of the summer. On the other hand, I could always employ you for some score-related job - I really need some helping hands. :)

I'd love to help out with any projects that don't require my physical presence this summer. It's strange to think that this will be the first summer in possibly 11 years where I haven't taken some kind of academic summer class, either in real life or online. Two years ago I tried working and studying as well as learning to drive and looking after my mother who had just had heart surgery; that was crazy. I'm not sure if I can face the prospect of my brain rotting without some kind of academics, though. I guess if I do get some kind of tutoring job it won't be too bad.

I've always wanted to visit Hungary and Eastern Europe; it looks absolutely amazing. I've tried looking up future study abroad programs in Hungary at the colleges where I've been accepted; unfortunately, the only option I've spotted so far requires me to be getting a degree in mathematics :S
