An interesting week, I found out that paying a program to place me in an internship is totally worthless and a waste of money. The Rising Nepal was a waste of time because they are jaded maoists, so I found myself my own internship at the Himalayan Times to cover the elections. I subsequently found out that I am unable to cover anything in Nepal without press accreditation from the government. Which I could’ve found if I had some time in the states, but my placement program didn’t think researching my position in their country was important. I’ve been in contact with them since last July! Obviously, its not all their fault, but haysus christo! To top it off, the program coordinator in Nepal, told me to work hard the other day. Fucker.
Anywho, now I am volunteering at the National Heritage Society promoting a traditional painting exhibition. I am designing a catalog, designing posters, doing press releases, etc…Its OK, not really what I want to do, but its something.
fucking program coordinators.
I just wanted to say that we are so proud of you! Keep up the interesting posts, I will continue to follow your journey!

Am very sorry your internship did not work out. Don’t give up your dream, anything worth achieving always has obstacles. Love always.
