Okay so I got an internship!

It is unpaid but all I had to do was make a phone call and I was in! Didn't have to go through an application process and it is in a very prestigious clinical research laboratory in Texas. I went to interview with the person in charge of the research on Monday and he is very excited to have me work with them. People have to go through a background check though, I have a DL so that was no problem for me but it might be for other people. DREAM better pass soon 'cause the Dr. I'll be working with also mentioned the possibility of employment with them depending on how involved I became with the research.

So it is possible to get an internship (unpaid at least), all you have to do is try.
