Two days ago marked a big step in this thing we call life for me. I completed and submitted my first Professional real world job application. How it all came about was quite strange. I randomly thought between two my classes to check the USAjobs site and see what jobs were being offered for meteorologists. I scrolled down looking at many different jobs that came up. My eyes then immediately went to a job posting for the National Weather Service. 
Not only was it a NWS position, it was dictated as an intern position (All NWS meteorologists start as an intern). On top of that the location was great as I would get to stay in the great state of NC. I just happened to find it two days before the closing date and was able to complete everything required to apply. I am not getting my hopes up, as everyone I have talked to says that it's very uncommon for an intern to end up in a non-podunk office in the middle of nowhere. I am mostly excited, because it feels great to be able to know that I will be fully qualified for this position in a little over 2 months from now. My professor also informed me when I went to ask her questions that it's not easy to get in but that it was well worth it once you were in. So we will have to see what happens.
