kittens
meep!
so I thought I was showing up for a 1 hour behavioral interview...nope! 5 hours of quant/behaviorals. yay. and in between, a TV with rita and dire predictions for my city. The interviews went ok, but if I had known about the quant ones I would have been better prepared and definitely would have had cleaner and more methodical solutions. Got the stuff right though, eventually. Rita seems to be wussing out, thankfully. 80s night was fun, went post biglebowsking with ms marissa, met some random kittens, yay. marissa lost her keys but we found them on comm ave. more of the waiting game, applied to a few new things this morning, will apply to another two soon as I overcome my coverletter aversion. god I hate coverletters so much. Gyming way late thanks to hangover sleep, but not missing a day! so yeah, drinking, dancing, interviewing, coding, reading. Apparently I need to learn about multithreading and distributed computation, it seems to pop up alot in quant job reqs. and of course perl and shell scripting. Im def doing a CS MS, not an infosys ms. Zlateva told me itd be better, and upon further examination she's quite right, most of the infosys classes are a waste of time for me. I always wanted to take classes in algorithms and neuralnets and computability and such, and now i will! plus a few less interesting ones in database stuff just to cement my cred for future apps. datamining might be neat though, im not sure. It has the potential to be very neat, and its the sort of thing that a genetic ai thing might be designed for...meep. okie done! gymtime
