I'm doing okay for the most part during the storm. My apartment is leaking a little, which is not a happy thing, but all I can do is manage it as best I can right now until it gets safe enough and stops raining long enough for someone to come in and take a look at it.

( oh god the work angst )

Okay, so maybe that was really boring. There have been brighter moments. I finished a first draft of my embarrassing gen fic, which I might end up cleaning up and posting later. Maybe after interview #2 this week.

I recently went through a bit of a typography/graphic design phase, after glancing through The League of Moveable Type. I also had some fun looking at old Penguin book covers, and I thought it would be a great fit for some XMFC fic, so I made a cover for and admit that the waters around you have grown and tried to imitate some of that style.

So here's the quick hit of numbers:

# of companies I've had first rounds with already: 3
# of companies I have first rounds with in the future: 2
# of companies I have second rounds with in the future: 2.5
# of companies I have second rounds with who have third round interviews: 2
# of on-site interviews in the future (as of right now): 0
# of companies I have yet to hear from about interviews at all: 3
# of companies who have told me to fuck off: 0 (<---- OMG!)

I have two interviews on Friday for the same company for different positions. I have a second round phone interview and a first round on-campus interview on Monday. I have a second round on-campus interview today.

So far so good, but it's been incredibly draining and stressful on top of classes and TA-ing. I think I just need to keep my shit together and survive this semester. Once that's over with, I should be okay. Possibly. Maybe.
