I'd like an internship, please

About 8 weeks ago I knew I needed to apply for internships. Having an internship is part of the curriculum, we get graded on it. If you don't get one, you have to drop the class, and if you don't have one by the time you graduate, I don't know what happens. But it doesn't matter, because I got one!
I had been asking people who had internships and my teachers for leads. I got a few names and wrote a few letters (and by letters, I mean emails). Then my friend Nick comes along and says, "oh, hey you could intern where I'm at because she needs a lot of help." So I write the lady and she responds within the hour, and just like that I had an interview set up. I go to the place and she explains what they do there and I ask what she would need from me. Since they never had interns before (except Nick and he's quite casual about pretty much everything), I explain what I was told about the program and tell her the hours I'd need. She explains a little more about what she does, then looks at me and asks, "So, you think you'd be interested?" And I was like, "Sure!" So, just like that I got an internship, unpaid, but oh well. I start on Monday at 1 and I'm nervous about working for a professional company using my Adobe Illustrator skills. But, I'm good at following directions, so I should be ok for a while. I hope.

Here is one of the last things I made recently in school for a final group project: a logo for a fake company so we could make a direct response ad campaign for it.
