Coming home on the bus from my interview today, a man sat down next to me and asked me what I was listening to. I told him I was listening to Sinatra, and he asked me if he could listen too. So I pulled out one of my earbuds and handed it to him. He took it, and asked if he could have the other ear too- I handed it to him. He gave me a huge smile and a thumbs up, and the rest of the ride was awkwardly silent- for me at least. Then, he gave me back my earbuds and thanked me for sharing my Sinatra with him, and he gave me an orange flower. When I thanked him for it, he smiled and said, "no, thank mother nature."
I had another interview today at 3:30pm- about an hour after classes ended, with Carle Clinic Association. I thought it was by the courthouse, so I left a bit earlier just to make sure that I'd arrive with time to spare. So, I called MTD once I reached the Union, and asked when the next Green bus going to Carle was going to come by; the lady on the phone was surprised, and told me that the 5Green didnt go by Carle, and that I should take the 6Orange going west.
A little bit, I freaked out, because that was not what I was expecting to hear from the operator- and it really changed the parameters of my time. So I got onto the next 6Orange, hoping to get to the hospital in time.
I got there around 3:20- ten minutes to spare. I called up my contact, and asked her which side of the building I was supposed to enter in; she told me that I was in the wrong building.
I know, I'm so stupid. So I had to walk maybe ten or fifteen blocks to get back to the County Plaza where the office was at. 5 blisters (3 popped) later, I got there around 3:50- disgustingly late.
The actual interview, I feel, went pretty well. There was a panel of 5 people and they were very friendly; I think I answered well, I tried to take everything I learned yesterday from KPMG and push it in. There was a lot of laughing, and joking- and one of the guys and I started talking Iron Maiden, which was pretty cool. They seemed to like my resume, because they asked me a lot of questions non-related to academics.
I'm hoping that my late entrance didnt affect their judgement of my character- I did apologise profusely and explain what happened...and they seemed to sympathize.
Wish me luck, I really want the job.

PS: (sorry the picture came out kind of weird-it was taken with my cell phone because my camera-camera just really sucks. donations anyone?!)
