What do I do now?

If you haven't heard already, I received an email from the Amgen program in St. Louis and they are not offering me a position this summer. When I got the news I was disappointed but realized it probably wasn't the best thing for my life right now. Although an awesome experience in which I would have received a good amount of money, this summer is potentially the last one I could spend at home with my family as I plan on continuing my education in the south after graduation. I wasn't too worried when I received the verdict because I had a plan B. However, that plan was also shot down in the same day. I wanted to seek an internship position at the children's hospital near my home, but when I got to their website there was a huge message stating that they were not accepting summer applications due to construction on site. This was very disheartening because I now have to completely restart my search, and I am running out of time. I am going to be honest and say that I am feeling a little lost. As much as I fight for opportunity, it doesn't really seem to come my way. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers so that I am led in the right direction. I can't have a repeat of last summer or I will go crazy. Thank you for your support, everyone. It means a lot to me.
