I just got my internship lined up for next semester. I am getting a degree in hotel and lodging mgmt. but so many

hotels are slow due to the economy being bad they don't want to take interns. I went to five different hotels on

the list we were given and all of them either told me they weren't taking interns or never got back to me. I was

thinking come on people I'm working for free here you can't find anything for me to do! So....any way I ended

up getting an internship at Moreland Mansion which is an old mansion on campus property that has been

restored and they have weddings there, business events, baby showers and whatnot. They have catering

they do onsite as well. So I will be involved in event planning and setting up for events. I am just kind of

nervous because I assumed I would be at a hotel I don't know that much about event planning. I guess it will

be good if I get a job

as a food and beverage manager in a hotel. I am also nervous because I have to work 14 hrs a week for free

work my real job, and take 3 classes. I have no idea how I'm going to manage this. Any input on internships

and/or event planning would be appreciated. thanks
