Urgent! Advice Needed

So I have a Finance gig at top BB this summer. I requested ANY group except Tax...since I've done a Tax internship at a huge, private, multinational corporation and I wanted to stab my left eye with an icepick.

Should I be (deep down) miserable and pretend to love that shit...or ditch it and find something else?

I know the markets are shit and one shouldn't be too picky...but this is the worst. Yes, I know some people DON'T have internships and I should be happy, but I do not think I will like what I do...so...so I stop bitching and work? Or try for something and jump ship if I land it?

Is there any way I can negotiate with placement people? Will they care? Thanks in advance!
