“Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.” – Robert H. Schuller

Internship Basics: Making a List of Sites

I suggest sticking with fewer resource, at least initially, to avoid getting overwhelmed.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:
