The Hopeful Intern

I am trying to get some kind of internship this summer to keep me occupied on my craft which is graphic design. Every year I would usually find something to do but this year I'm not so sure because in the area I live in there isn't much media to get into unless you want to write in a local new paper. So I think that I'm going to try and convince my parents to let me intern in New York or downtown Toronto. I live about 30-1 hr. away from it so it should not be a problem. I don't need to even get paid but to just continue learning more about graphic design. So now it's time to job intern hunt for something relating to that field.
