Less Vague, Still Uncertain

Feb 6: 12pm
Yesterday I received another email from the editor of the web magazine where I am trying to get an unpaid internship. In the email, the editor answered the questions I asked regarding content and communication but completely avoided answering where in the selection process he might be. Instead, the editor asked when I would be looking to start "an internship"? Not the internship with them, simply an internship.

The professor who introduced me to this opportunity believes that the editor is delaying make a decision for some reason. In answering the editor's latest email, I decided to be forthright without asking directly whether I have the job. With only around twelve weeks left in the semester (not including finals week) and a twelve week internship on the line, I replied this morning that I would like to start "an" internship as soon as possible and to let me know as soon as he has made a decision. I finished the email politely and now am playing the waiting game again. It shouldn't be too much longer and I am upbeat that I am still in the running for the position.
