Just throwing it out there, it is not a big deal to work an 8 hour day.
Maybe you are used to a mid-day round of frisbee golf, or a puff at the old hookah in the quad, but reality check, folks...the rest of the world works 8 hours. People who go to schools not surrounded by cattle and rolling hills and work during the week - they put in 8 hours a day. All those other people on the street at 8:30 am - 8 hours. The people who clean the halls of the dorms your parents are renting for you during the summer - you guessed it, 8 hours.
On the way to work today, I passed two exasperated SI's who were explaining that yes, they actually had to work from 9:30 - 5:30. What a novel concept!
"No, Mom, you don't even understand, I was so tired last night, I was there (the office) from like 9 - 5!"
"Yeah, it's like really intense, I have to be there at 10 and I didn't get to leave until like 6! It was so weird."
Yes, truly strange and unheard of.

Hilarious. Whenever I hear these under-achieving, over-spoiled soft little SI brats who attend Eastbumblefuck University complain about working from "9:30 - 5:30..OMG!" I want to smack them in the face with Kate Spade Planner and explain to them that some us REAL interns put in 9-10 hr days, 3while simultaneously taking 18 credits and maintaining a fabulous GPA. Take off your damn nametag, get off the phone with mommy, and suck it up.
hells yes! you sound like more of a young professional than a mere intern!
