二月雨
It's been hectic. Homework all over the place, just finished a midterm today (and I have no idea how I did), thinking constantly about the interview that is to come, and all in all being busy busy busy. Only 2.5 weeks left before finals and I'll be glad when the quarter is over. Next quarter I should have no labs whatsoever, as compared to the nine hours a week I have now.
The mood of the day is cheerful and speculative. The rains have been both nice and annoying. I like rain when I don't have to trudge through it for most of the day with a backpack full of crap.
I found out from a friend that four of her friends also applied to the NEC equipment engineering position and were not called back. This means that of six or seven people, I was the only one called back.
I also talked with my dad's really good friend and coworker's wife, who once programmed for NEC in the same facility as the one I'm being interviewed by. She says that they're really nice, have a good gym, good cafeteria, and take lots of breaks.
Also that they are allotted $150 for shoes every year. With that money, they are expected to buy shoes specifically for work. They will take those shoes, and leave them in cubbies or some crap at work. From then on, they will wear some sort of shoes to work, take off the shoes they wore to work and put on their work shoes. I find this amusing.
She also said some stuff about my chances given that they've called me on site for an interview, but I'm honestly worried about jinxing things lately 'cause I've been so optimistic. Yes, I realize I'm being irrational, but whatever; I'm not usually superstitious so I figure I'm allowed this little bit.
Beat House of the Dead 4 solo with one play, three continues. I messed up in stupid places and I need to stop going for score when I am in danger. My goal is to not lose so much life and to break a score of 300k.
There are trees in full bloom all around campus. It seems premature. I think I might take some pictures at some point, but we'll see.
And it looks as though the rain is going to continue all week. I have a feeling I am going to get tired of the rain real quick.
