I have been applying for summer co-op jobs/internships. I am just beginning my “self-directed job search” which means I’m seeking out companies related to my field of study and emailing or calling them, finding out if they hire students in the summer or more information.
I have barely started. I’m scared silly of talking on phones or leaving messages (if I were to leave a message, I imagine it would sound like Peter’s message from I Love You Man.)
So I’m going to start a podcast.
I need something that will make me more comfortable communicating verbally with people in person and on the phone.

Ideally, I want to make a video blog, but I don’t think I’m ready for that yet. It seems to be too big of a step to go from writing text to putting up videos of myself. Once I get more comfortable with talking un-awkwardly, I’m going to make a vlog.
