Internship Updates

Well, i got a call from Citibank today. They wanted to interview me again, cause the previous department that interviewed me only had 2 free slots. fat chance huh? So though they previously wanted me to do some fancy clerical work for them (systems management know-how req'd), I was now up for an internship with the credit-risk department. Cool! And totally within my current not-so-advanced finance know-how. Since I was considering finance as my future field anyway, and since I prefer finance over systems management (Barretto~ eck. XP) it seemed like the perfect stroke of luck.
Except in the days of waiting for their response, I kind of decided that maybe I wasn't too enthusiastic about getting an internship anymore. :( So I had to decline as politely as I could, which was still a super embarrassing thing to do anyway.
So I'm a loser, chicken, a coward. Fine. I get that. Not to mention lazy on top. But at least I can scratch out greedy from my personal descriptions for the time being. :P
Besides, I think I'd really miss out on a lot of things if I chose to continue with this internship. This may be the last summer I'll have with some of my friends, who might migrate to the U.S. Plus, this summer could be my last happy one, since next year, I'll definitely have to push through with the internship and then after I graduate, I'll have to start working for good, putting up with endless nights of work with no vacation and spare time. I don't want to start burning out this soon. I'll take this might-be-last vacation of mine and enjoy it, thank you very much. :P Except I have to take summer classes, which was a personal ultimatum should I not get an internship this summer. But a few hours is nothing compared to a full time job in Makati. Considering the commuting time, the only other thing I'll probably have time to do is sleep. *cynical and pessimistic, yes, I know*
Besides, there are rumors circling around my family that we MIGHT go to Baguio this year. And possibly Bicol. It would be a shame to miss out on that, considering one of the most highlighted plans include swimming with whale sharks in Sorsogon(?). Waah... But part of me still feels a bit guilty for turning my back on what I should do, and choosing to laze around instead.
So I better make everything that'll come out of this decision worthwhile. >:)
*BTW, my econ teacher gave me one of the lowest grades I've ever gotten since I came to UP. Imagine, rivaling accounting? The horror! As if I didn't put in effort! I even got Vigile to tutor me once. And that's a big hurdle from what I'm used to. >:(
