the return to real life
Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012I graduate in two months and two and a half weeks.
It’s all very exciting.
Doesn’t he look excited about my upcoming graduation party? (Yes, I’m planning the party months in advance. It’s nice to have things to look forward to – dontcha think?)
The thing about graduating is that when you graduate, you sort of have to find a job. Tomorrow I have my first interview. Today, I did a lot of prep.
I spent some time with my computer, reviewing the company’s website and my resume.
I painted my nails. (I realize they’re not as beautiful as they could be, but this was before I cleaned up the edges. And also I don’t intend to let anyone get this close to my hands tomorrow – instead I shall keep them at a distance where they are like ‘ooo pale pink how nice’).
I picked out my outfit.
(That’s it, folded neatly (ha) onto my dresser under my mini bedroom art gallery.)
I had to do all of this while Crockett packed for his Tahoe snowboard vacation. He’ll be gone for five days, which is fine, except he won’t be here to debrief me from my interview.
He tried to make up for that by pre-debriefing at The Empire. He tried something new:
pan roasted chicken with potatoes.
I went with the usual:
calamari salad.
I know, I’m predictable. I plan to list that as one of my strengths during my interview.
