I really dislike busy weeks. [20 Mar 2006 | duel start @ 03:29pm]
[ mood | rushed ]

This is one of those times that makes me want to say "Life sucks," even though it really doesn't. In fact, that's really the opposite of the truth, considering that what I'm so busy with is interviews for summer internships. Who knew that any company would want to employ a college student who feels like she doesn't know nearly enough yet to really be of help to a company? Apparently, though, I know enough to at least be useful. After all, how many computer science majors get internships the summer after their freshman year?

Interviewing tomorrow for an on-campus research position. This one looks iffy, because I'm pretty sure that they'll want me to sign at least a one-year contract, and I'm not sure that I could hold down twenty hours a week at a job during the school year; I could barely keep up with the twelve hours a week that I worked last semester. Then on Wednesday, I have to make up a Physics lab that I'll be missing on Thursday. On Thursday I'll be driving an hour and a half to Columbus to interview at JPMorgan Chase for a position that would be kind of a pain to have, because I'll have to find housing in Columbus, which is two hours away from my home, and I'd probably have to have a car, which I don't have, because public transportation over here isn't quite what I hear it is across the Atlantic. Then, on Friday, I'll be doing a phone interview with NCR, which is my best bet because my aunt works there and has offered to let me live with her for the summer.

Whew. Also, I made a startling discovery last night while being extremely tired and attempting to relax by poking around the intarweb. Apparently, goldfish do not actually have three-second memory limits. According to this Wikipedia article, the TV show Mythbusters tested this hypothesis. Their findings are as follows: "Jamie trained his goldfish to recognize color patterns and complete an obstacle course under water. They remembered what Jamie had taught them over a month later and easily completed the same course without Jamie's prompting." Who knew goldfish were so smart?

And now I have a website to polish for my interview tomorrow, and samples of my work to get together and print out. Which reminds me, I need to print my Programming assignment before class. Which means I'd better leave now.

I received a piece of spam email the other day that somehow got past the spam filter into my inbox. While scrolling down past the message to delete it, I noticed an interesting block of text at the end of the message.

Must work on website. I need to come up with some resolution-detecting code, because my new Notebook layout is rather dependant on screen width. >_>

...Wow. Just got around to reading the Varon/Amelda RP log and Amelda's 218-comment entry. ...That was a work of art, guys. I was seriously dying at the kitten stuff. XDD

I need to do some serious planning (some serious plabbing? XD) for tomorrow. Class until 1pm, interview at 3:30pm. I'll need to eat lunch, change clothes, gather up copies of the resume and code printouts that I'm bringing, make sure I have all necessary files on my flash drive, and make it aaaall the way across campus to the Caldwell Street Center. Yes, a serious plab.

REALLY need to get some work done now. >_>

While reading today's Bob and George comic, I felt a momentary urge to highlight that third panel to see if there was any whitetext hidden in all that blank space.

I think I need to go to sleep now. [20 Mar 2006 | duel start @ 11:41pm]

...March 15 was the day that D-M's "died."

This song is amazingly catchy, if hard to spell. I was singing it under my breath all during the reception yesterday.

As I mentioned, I'm going to be giving my website address to the people I'm interviewing with tomorrow. I thought long and hard about whether to leave the link to my Blurty on the site, considering my layout (which may confuse people who aren't Yuugiou fans and aren't in on the OWMYTHIRDEYE joke, which is seriously the reason why I had the idea for this layout in the first place, thank you Tiger) and some of the content. But I have decided to leave the link, because I am my Blurty and my Blurty is me, or something profound like that. Now you know why I have barred the posting of questionable icons in my journal. >_>

So, you know the drill. Keep it clean, kids. This is my future at stake, you all can have a little courtesy and decency, even if it may be a stretch for some. Not that I'm mentioning names. Of course not.

And now, I go off to sleep. (See, unlike Tiggy, I cannot compose "sexy" signoff lines. About peacocks and tails and flying off into the night. D: However, that line is in my quote collection, which will be updated as soon as I finish all these interviews.)
