I am so exhausted - the last few days of my life have been crazy and yes that means that I think taking an accounting exam and going to a job interview are wild things to do. First of all, after having one of the craziest weekends ever last weekend I had to get serious real fast and study hardcore for my intermediate test - which by the way took about five hours. Then for awhile after that I felt so braindead that the one class that I made it to the next day was a joke.
I rode down to Atlanta with some accounting friends for the "spend-the-night" Deloitte interview. The Mariott Marquis is pretty awesome...I walked in and didn't even know what to do. I was on the 36th floor and had an amazing view of downtown. The elevator went so fast my stomach did that weird thing. Then I had to navigate the streets of Atlanta on foot by myself at dusk which was interesting. We had a "social" at the 191 Club and then went to dinner. Dinner was interesting but its probably not PC to say why.. anyways we went to One Midtown which was good .. I was smart to get the steak. The senior got some kind of fish and it was tiny with lots of fancy stuff on the plate and he was not very happy about it. Later accounting friends came over to my hotel room and we went down to the bar for a few hours and played a modified version of the truth game. It was pretty funny. Today we had to meet at the Ritz at 8:55 and we had a couple really long meetings and then interviews. The interviews were really laid back - I think they already had their mind made up. I don't really understand why they have people come into the office that they have no intention of offering an internship because it is kind of costly for them. Next we went to lunch in small groups. Of course there was mystery man who was really really hot but also went to UVA so I have to dislike him a little. I wanted to tell him that UGA's program is actually ranked higher than UVA's but lukcily I restrained myself. Something potentially awkward is happening in my little accounting world but I guess it is all heresy but it does stress me out a little. I am just going to not think about it and pretend that everything is normal :)
