I finally get a response to interview for a Summer internship, instead of the job position I applied for. (Plus, not actually in the kind of studio I expected myself to be in, but it's better than nothing.

I was excited!

That's the right reaction, right? Sure they said one thing that was like, uh... whut. But maybe they didn't mean it that way. So I email them back saying when I was available.
I hear nothing back for almost a week.
Then they tell me they scheduled the interview. On a day I never said I was available for.
And constantly mentioning what a liability interns are. Oh, but no worries! We love your work :D 

I literally have no idea how to feel. Like, what is this psychological manipulation? I thought it was just me, so I ask my sisters. I ask this animation community I'm in. I ask my friends. And they all they say the same thing: they sound so disrespectful. They sound like YOU should be grateful you were even given this chance. Sure. I agree.

But the experience, right? It's better than nothing.

Initially, I really considering turning this down. But then, my mom called and told me to just do it. Who cares if they're rude; you need the experience. I don't know how to explain it, but it felt like a "model minority" thing. Just bow your head, y'know?

Anyway, I guess I'll accept the interview. Who knows, I might not even make it LOL And I don't know why, I feel like he'll flake LOL just a feeling. I'ma laugh when I join the meeting, and he never shows. PFT.

This whole ordeal was stressing me out because I couldn't decide what to do. But sometimes, you just gotta rip the bandage off.
