Interview and quick wedding update
Wedding update first. I had the trial run for my hair today. She curled the misery out of it so I look like Shirley Temple, then put it up in a really loose updo with a few tendrils hanging down. It's really cute, I'll post a picture when I figure out how to extract it off my phone. I'm not too happy with my travel agent right now but they've already got my money so it's too late to do anything about it. Oh well.
My interview with Texas is tomorrow night at 4. I'm so nervous. The fear of what if I've lost too much still haunts me. I've done all I can for now though, I've read my old book and reviewed my notes on what I thought would be most relevant. They put special emphasis on hurricane research so hurricanes is what I re-learned most. And my old favorites, METARs and soundings. I learned a few new things along the way, too, like swell and TUTT. (This probably all makes sense to nobody but oh well) Then I got a phone call on Thursday from another place in Minnesota that I applied for, that they want to interview me on Monday night. Their opening they want to fill immediately, and I'd have to wait until after the wedding of course, but he said they're in the middle of a growth spurt and anticipate more openings in April. I'm going to bug AccuWeather again, too. Then I got a very important promise out of Frank tonight that I am going to hold him to. He said something about going back to school for accounting like I'd toyed with before but I'm just not interested in business anymore. I'm a scientist and can't pretend otherwise. Then I asked him, would he still be fine with me going to grad school in the Spring next year, for meteorology, if I don't find anything in the meantime, and he said yes as long as it doesn't interfere with our plans to go to the Indy 500 next year (oh, please!! lol). Lucky for him term ends mid-May and the race is at the end of May. So if neither of these pan out I'm going to start contacting schools right after the wedding and see what needs to be done. And this time, I'm not going to ruin it for myself if school is the route I take like last time. I was too preoccupied with other things in undergrad and I know that now. I didn't apply myself like I should have and now I'm paying the price. Live and learn I guess, and do better next time.
Well off I go. Wish me luck!
