Jobs n everythin

[n0es]

Today's pretty cool. I got my first AND second interview invitations (for paid internships I found on my own). So take note that being a junior might open up a lot of opportunities btw. The first interview's tomorrow morning eek. It doesn't scare me that much. What scares me is that I have no idea where I'm headed... I've been leaning toward

Yeah the sense i got from last year is that a wholottashit is open to you once you hit junior year, basically every place with internships wants juniors and ever place hiring full time obviously wants seniors, so trying for shit before that is a little just like hm you're extraneous lets find a place to put you. In other news, really really early interviews/hiring/applications are bullshit. And I really like the idea of grad school or at least 5th year masters as a way of delaying real life :).

Your thoughts on living with people but not really connecting are ringing so true with me *right now* - and I already know these people! Everyone's so busy, there's only a few hours a day (I guess much more time on the weekends, but even then ppl are up on campus/holed up in their rooms [wait that last one sounds like me in frosh year...]) to socialize in the house, and I don't even know if people would bother if they weren't already friends.

Work hours: What the fuck ever happened to 40 hours a week? That's apprently considered *low* now. Now I'm all for spending extra time at work or extra time at home if you feel like it, if you're passionate about the project or just have that extra burst of energy or want to see that feature done...but the fact that it's *expected* to stay til 630 or 7 every night is BULL SHIT. Maybe after you've risen through the ranks. But at an entry level, or even worse an internship, salary, no week should EVER go past 45 hours. Eye em oh.

uhh god dammit not done yet. To be continued... (gotta go to eheh info session. but I ain't no hypocrite, I'm not trying to get a job this early, just goin for the raffles...I already won an AMD dual core processor and a copy of Godfather: The Game after all...)
