Update

So today I received a response to an application I submitted for a paid internship as a portfolio management trainee at Privilege Finance Limited, and they want me to come in for an interview. If all goes well, I will have the opportunity to put all of the things I am learning in the classroom directly into practice -- and get paid to do it :) Also, everything has transpired fluidly with my faculty, they are letting me take all of the courses I want, and I have quite a strapping schedule. I start at 9:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and at 8:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

As a side note, I got soda spilt all over my keyboard yesterday and my laptop went haywire. Fortunately, I have resuscitated its vital parts, by the keys are hard to press down and they don't rebound quite as sprightly as they used to. So please excuse any typos I may have made!
