Day 2: Not the right decision?

Today, we went to Baguio Chronicle to ask if they still accept interns for their newspaper outfit. When we got there, the security guard said that the staff went out for a bit and would be back at 10AM. So we waited and waited...and waited...and waited.. When we couldn't wait any longer, we decided to just go back later this afternoon. But the thing here was that I was supposed to be at Skycable for my BC198 intermship program.

While I was at Skycable, I couldn't concentrate on what I was doing because my mind was still stuck on Journ198. What if I couldn't get in to a newspaper outfit? What if I fail? What if I just drop either one of this internship program? Would my parents be angry at me? What about the tuition fee? These questions kept on going through my mind. These thoughts got even worse when I talked to my friend on the phone and she said that SunStar, Zigzag Weekly, and Baguio Chronicle were not accepting interns because the slots were all taken. And I swore, it really broke my heart to hear that. But she also said that they also went to Cordillera Today and the publisher/editor-in-chief said that we should cover first a political rally that would take place in Pacdal gym and submit a write-up tomorrow. She said that they would be waiting for me at the school's gate so that we could all cover the news. Upon arriving at the said place, we discovered that the publisher/editor-in-chief was a candidate for this coming election. That said, we didn't cover the news.

Tomorrow afternoon, we will go to the City Tourism Office for an orientation. At the same time, my BC198 friends and I are supposed to cover a news here in Baguio. Can I really do this? Will I survive? Have I made the biggest mistake of taking Journ198 and BC198 at the same time? One thing is for sure, I will really really do my best...even if it's really hard.
