I am in a slightly similar situation. I am going into my senior year this fall and so far this summer I have been unable to find an internship. The last company I worked for hired me last year as an intern and kept me on as a co-op for the fall and spring semesters. Even though I was in the middle of a design project that I was told would last through the summer the company could no longer continue my employment due to a limited grant program. I was only notified three weeks prior to finals this past semester that I would no longer have a job. With such short notice and said notice being after the typical internship interview period I have had trouble even finding viable job postings to apply for.

While it was convenient at the time to catch of for finals and have a week or two off after school and FIRST the reality of life catches up quick when your efforts in finding a job aren't getting much notice in the way of interviews.
