Ugh, I totally wanted to keep this more up to date. I might have to force myself to update on certain days or it just might not get done. The excuse these past 2 weeks has been homework and more homework. Ok, well that and getting a phone interview and attending a conference. :) Exciting, no?
I'm totally on cloud nine about the job interview. It feels so good to finally get a callback and feel loved again. As much as I love my friends for telling me that this would come, it was getting really hard to keep believing in myself. Honestly, I don't think I'd ever been so down on myself before. Like E said, I'm a totally different person now. It's sad but true. Even if I don't get this job, just konwing that I made it past that first round makes me feel that much better about myself. It's totally what I needed to hear. I've still got major prepping to do before it happens, but now I've got a significant assignment out of my way, I feel a better about doing that instead of homework. :)
The conference was fun. A little frustrating and boring at times, but I beliee that a conference is only going to be as good as you let it. I came away with some great ideas and a much stronger confidence about my own presentation skills. Kinda mean, but true.
I finally watched "The Namesake," much to A's delight as it's been here from Netflix forever. It was so good. I really loved it and totally need to find other Kal Penn movies. And research what it was he was teaching a college course on somewhere. See it's these totally random things that I only remember half of that will come back to haunt me. When I read the article originally, I thought...right, cool, don't really like/know that actor, thus won't want to know about him later. Arg. Oh well. Something to look up later.
Also finished "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" yesterday. Totally not as impressive as I thought it was going to be. I feel like it's a book that everyone else has read and loved. Except now that I ask everyone, no one that I know has read it, and I was not satisfied with the ending. Not because I disagreed with it, but just because there wasn't any resolution. Just totally blah, and I don't feel like I got the message or the point or much in general from the book. It's a book to cross off the list, but now I'm not real sure why it was there in the first place.
