Summer Work

For the first time in my life it seems that I'm actually over qualified for the jobs that I want to get this summer. This is ironic since i applied for the same jobs last year and was underqualified. It turns out that the NSF grants to the Smithsonian Institute and the California Academy of Science prohibit the employment of seniors graduating from their undergraduate this year for the paid summer internships. This pretty much means that I'm SOL. Last year there was not this restriction and so they pretty much only hired people who were graduating and going on to careers in the natural sciences. I get the impression that I was born either too early or too late.
