Internship Fiasco

I realized a lot of people might be thinking, "I didn't know Kyla was going to be in Oklahoma for two months." Well, two and a half weeks ago, I didn't either. During finals week, I got an e-mail from my internship coordinator telling me that my internship in Provo fell through. (That’s just what you want to hear at the end of the semester.) Surprisingly though, I didn’t freak out. My internship coordinator suggested a few options. I wasn’t crazy about any of them though, so I decided to see what I could do. The next day, I called a couple of places and found two speech-language-pathologists (SLPs), one in Oklahoma and one in Utah, that agreed to take me on as an intern. Now, this may not sound very significant, but it is. Last year, I called about a bazillion places trying to find an internship during the summer and I had zero luck! So, for me to find two internships in one day is a big deal. Now, it might seem obvious which internship I was going to pick. My apartment, my job, my car, and just about everything else was in Utah. But just for kicks, I decided to intern in Oklahoma. Ok, well maybe not just for kicks. While I was still in Utah, I pondered, fasted, prayed, and went to the temple while trying to make my decision. When it came right down to it, I just felt really good about going to Oklahoma. So, I decided to go for it. I talked to my internship coordinator, collected contact information, got the contract signed, and then I waited. It was up to my internship coordinator to handle the rest. Thankfully, I heard back yesterday that things were set and I was ready to go!
