AIESEC and the summer

So I'm looking forward to my next great international adventure. I've joined a student group called AIESEC, whose purpose is basically to promote cross cultural exchange through working internship abroad, and after two semesters of working for sales and services to provide opportunities for students to come to DC, I finally get to go abroad. Right now I'm talking with several account managers (the students who are the contacts for the different companies) and my three areas I'm looking into are in Russia (middle of nowhere English camp), Finland (working with companies on their English), and Japan (a kindergarten/pre school that specializes in English). I'm also hoping to hear from someone in Lithuania about an opportunity there, but so far I've heard nothing back. However, it's only been two whole days since I sent out the e-mails to these assorted managers, and I'm told to have some patience... Not likely! All I want to do is get myself abroad, though hopefully working in a way I can really make an impact on the company/ improve the ol' resume. That's it for now, I'll fill in as more comes.
