How do I choose?! (Day 8)

Friday I was supposed to have that interview. If you didn't read day seven, I had a scheduled interview with a publishing company in Tulsa for an internship. They called asking if they could reschedule and I was a little frustrated. But if you did read day seven you learned that everything worked out. Well, more happened that night. Being the type of person I am I didn't just email one company inquiring about an internship. I actually emailed seven. I've heard back from most of them and their answers have been along the lines of "we're impressed with your work but we can't support an intern this summer." So when this company wanted an interview I jumped for joy. But back to my point. I received an email from the first company I ever contacted saying they wanted me to come up March 1st. They wanted to get to know me and show me around the office. I expect it to be an interview and when I asked if another time would be ok since March 1st was a Thursday and I had midterms that week, the lady exclaimed that it was more than fine. They just wanted me to come up so they could "just offer me the position and go from there." Wait? Did I read that correctly? They wanted to just hand over the job, no interview, no nothing? And this happened the same day that I was supposed to have an interview with another company?

Can I really consider this a coincidence? The thought of now having two prospective internships is overwhelming. Just a week ago I had nothing to show except five "rejection" (if you can call them that) letters. How do I make the decision? I emailed a mentor of mine and she told me to look at the aspects of both companies: location, style, environment, etc. Well both are in Tulsa so that doesn't matter much. I mean one's a bit closer to my house but nothing is really that far away in Tulsa. The style of both companies seems about the same. I don't know much about the environment since I haven't seen the work space. But really do those things make a decision? I don't think so. I mean if there were huge differences I could see that affecting the decision but there aren't. I've weighed both companies and I can't decide. Now I still haven't had that interview and maybe after that it will be easier to know. Heck, they might tell me I wouldn't be right for them. I trust that God will show me which one is better but I need some prayers. I'm just blessed that I have multiple companies wanting to hire me. Some people aren't so lucky. This is a huge blessing in my life because I can now graduate and get more experience before applying for jobs, and that is why it is day eight!


I also wanted to thank all the people who read these.
You all are huge encouragements in my life.
