I've got a headache, a fever, and PMS. I feel icky.

Registered with a local temp agency today. Yes, I did bring my soc card this time. :P I'm just looking for something to get me out of the house for a month or two.

Found an internship possibility with the German-American chamber of commerce. Now I must translate both my CV and cover letter into German...within the next two days. I haven't spoken German in a while, I'm gonna need to find someone who can check my grammar and professionalism tomorrow. I don't know if I'm gonna be able to pull that off or not, but if not, I'll still register with the site's employment page anyway.

Also, is there a German word for "honor society"?

ETA: K, so the internship I was looking at is for Germans only. Good, that gives me more than 2 days. There is an internship for Americans that sends you to Germany for varying lengths of amount. I'm just not sure if the employment page is for anyone but Germans either. It asked me whether I went to a Hochschule or a Gymnasium.

The only page I found where a German translation was given for "honor society" was, funnily, Condoleezaa Rice's Wikipedia entry where it was translated with "Ehrenverbindung". However, I have never heard that before, and most people seem to leave the English expression even in a German CV.

I'm a little confused, though, is it "Hochschule or Gymnasium"? Because Hochschule is a collective term for what comes after the Gymnasium, there's no either or. It's possible they do mean high school with Hochschule.

And if you still need help, just ask! I don't know about professionalism, but I can certainly check grammar. :)

It might've been asking for my highest level of education. I'd have to look again.

Okay, that'd make more sense, then.
