looking for an internship

So in the Spring I will begin my first semester as a senior and I am searching for an internship with a design firm in Nashville. I'm finalizing my resume and working on my portfolio. I've been lucky enough to already have had an internship at a Marketing firm in South Carolina so now I'm looking to work for a design firm. I'm honestly not that crazy about advertising design and would like to focus more on packaging and web design. One of my professors provided me with a list of some area firms so I have been checking them out and trying to see if they are the kind of business and environment I would learn the most from. There are def a lot of firms in Nashville that are putting out awesome work and I'm looking forward to seeing where I end up and what experiences I will have. One of the recommendations I received was actually a freelance designer name Kevin Tucker, whose work is really impressive. I would love to get the chance to work with him. Check out his work at www.kevintucker.com.
Along with my internship next semester I will be taking Typography III, Design III and Multimedia II. I'm excited about them (esp about learning how to use Flash in Multimedia class!). I know it's going to be intense from here on out if I want to graduate by December 09 but I can do it. I can't stay in school too much longer since I've already taken longer than originally planned. Plus I'm excited (and a bit nervous) to be finally getting out in the working world.

Wow..I wish I get to have your classes too..I'm interested in design as well. Too bad I can't take courses related to that field yet. *sigh*
