I second most parts of this (including the "feel free to email me
part").  I hear that the summer is busiest with respect to interns,
but those who can arrange it with their graduate programs ought to
consider applying for an internship during the school year. I don't
know what things are like now, but I found that there were plenty of
other interns around to keep me company even during the fall, and
Cambridge is a lovely place to spend an autumn as well.

Cheers,
Tim
