quick update in 30 minute lunchbreak before i run to class
I have been really charming today. I say that not in arrogance, but in... alarm! I don't know what the deal is! I had a doctor's appointment first thing this morning and we ended up talking for at least half an hour, me laughing and smiling and unintentionally impressing him left and right. He kept saying things like, "I've only known you for 15 minutes, but I can tell you have a bright future!" and "You are an all-star of (insert word here)!" I found myself talking about scholarships and competitions and internships and I don't know what else, wondering distantly why I was being so engaging when I'd never see this random man again. I also got what amounted to a free dieting consultation with regards to nutrition, as despite evidently being really healthy I wanted to know how to get more nutrition fit into my on-the-go lifestyle. I was ordered, at the end, to go to Wild Oats, which I would apparently love. And is exciting. Although it now has competition from the coolest Giant Eagle EVER.
I was interrupted with a call this morning. Convergys called, referencing my resume from a career fair in October (?!). The woman wanted to send me more information on an internship she felt would suit me, to see if I would be interested in applying for the job. I left a message with my Dad, who later phone-tagged me with a call himself, leaving a glowing message about the esteem and respectability of Convergys. Only problem is, Convergys is in Cincinnati... and I do not want to live there again. I have given it much thought. I could, in fact, do so, but not this summer. Not this one. Still, I am kind of giddy about the fact that there are big corporations COMPETING for me, which is all sweetly complicated by Greif's almost desperate offers to give me "any marketing job I want" if I stay with them this summer. Nationwide is still my top choice, and I dearly hope they want a second interview, but... I feel encouraged. My accounting professor made a comment about how some of us may dare to hunt for internships this summer and I felt myself blush self-consciously and try to hide under my jacket. I once felt like I was simply doing what I had to do, but now feel like an over-achiever. I am sure that perception will last me all of an hour.
Accounting is going to be interesting. My professor is miles apart from the other. Today's lecture was tedious, easy, and pointless. The annoying thing is that quizzes must all be taken between 7:30-9:30pm Monday nights (WTF? Damn you, Accounting!) and the brilliant thing is that we apparently do not use Homework Manager. Whoah, what are the odds? I get to return it! 30 bucks for me! YUSSS!
In other joyous news, I got my Marmot jacket finally. And it is... hot pink. You don't even understand, guys. Look out your window and watch central campus for ten minutes and you will see me from wherever you are. Wow. I totally love it.
It wasn't SUPPOSED to be hot pink, but they discontinued scarlet and grey and I let them pick me a new colour. It's the latest make, so the latest shade is evidently hot pink with fuschia under the arms. It's everything I hoped it would be, though -- I'm thrilled that it's pouring outside because I love watching the rain droplets BEAD on the ultra-lightweight fabric like tiny silver pearls. It's wind-resistant, soft, nicely fitted, and technical in lots of ways you don't care about... and it's hot pink. Do you realize how funny it must have looked at Vic's last night to see a booth completely crowded with male mountaineers and one, OBVIOUSLY female female? Heh, I really missed that crowd... I forgot how cool Dan, Hester, Eli, and all the others were.
Eli promises we are for real going caving this spring, which will involve us getting dirty, completely soaked, and into all sorts of trouble. I may have to give up a festival if it happens on the same weekend. The invitation to go kayaking in Assateaque may also demand that Wellspring come up with some pretty good bribery if it wants me to go there instead. Going on a caving trip is of utmost importance to me, but kayaking could be compromised.
Umm, I still haven't been to Biology or Bus 330 yet. Today has been nuts, though, with a lot of closing timing situations. Looks like I'm going to cut it close for Bio, too, as I am still trying to gulp down lunch. Why am I so desperately hungry this week? I've not excercised yet and I've STILL been needing 5000 meals a day. Hmm, maybe if our Bio lecture's pointless and he just says read the chapter I can duck out to Oxley's, where I can grab a warm cuddly chair and read and do homework until Bus330. If not, I might have to find a hall-way spot somewhere or go to the library instead... but listen to me. Haven't even had the class yet and I'm already planning how I could better use my time by skipping it. :) Maybe it'll be a sweet lecture, like my Chem was last quarter... oh, how I love having new professors. :)
This week has been fun, but it's already insane....
