It’s been a weird couple of days.
Yesterday, I had my 2nd interview at PSP. I met with someone who would be my direct superior and one of the chief engineers at the company. I also met with four of the people I had talked to previously and they were all really nice. I did a good job on the 2nd interview but I’m not sure if I made as strong of an impression as I did on the 1st. However, everyone emphasized that I did a great job and that they were impressed with me. They said that they planned on interviewing a couple more people and would make their decision by the end of the week. So tomorrow I will either have great news or…not. I really like this job and I’m more hopeful about it than I care to admit.
My friend Megan is having some family problems right now and making some really tough decisions. Her parents are really failing her and their immature and inexcusable behavior make me really appreciate my mom. I’m not usually emotional in front of my mom but I cried yesterday and hugged her for a long time, thanking her for being great. I’m hard on my mom sometimes and I don’t think she has any idea how much I need and love her so it felt good to finally say it. Anyway, I’m going to try to keep an eye on Megan until she moves back to Texas. We’re going to hang out in Naperville tomorrow and on Saturday, I’m going to go on a scavenger hunt downtown with Henry, Nicole, and co. I actually feel like I have friends!
Speaking of friends, today I went shopping with Kayla and Michelle. I like hanging out with Kayla and Michelle because our friendship is similar to the way it was in high school even though we are completely different people. Even Michelle, who is arguably the most similar to her high school self, has changed a lot. However, I think there’s a greater divide between Michelle and I then ever before. Our goals and priorities are very different these days and I think that the gap between us will only continue to grow, at least in the immediate future anyway. Not necessarily a relationship-breaker but it’s different all the same.
Kayla is awesome and I wish we could hang out more often. She’s not quick to talk about herself but I think she’s so interesting and nice that I always feel like I want to ask her a million questions. She’s definitely one of the most “normal” friends I have – when did that happen?
Al is in China and I miss him a lot. I email him every day but we haven’t had much contact since he can’t use the internet very often. I can’t wait until he comes back!
Two things I love right now: the owl necklace and shirt I bought today and the American Express happy face commercials.
One thing I hate: MY RUNNY NOSE WHICH WILL NOT GO AWAY!! I don’t know if this is allergy-related or an effing cold but either way, quit it!
I have so much backlogged cosplay stuff to do but….ugh.
