Even though this is probably one of the last places I should write this, I have an update from my pending summer job in California. What a crappy way for you to find out: online instead of in-person. Don’t get too excited because I did not get it. I’m not too put off by it. Apparently I was one of the top three candidates, but in the end they decided to go with someone else. Sucks, but what can you do? I was bummed when I read the email, but I didn’t let it get to me too bad.

Somewhere within the three weeks between the interview and yesterday afternoon, I had rationalized that not getting it would be a good thing. Getting it of course would be an even greater thing and an amazing experience, but from the get-go, I didn’t feel it was right. It was just something random I did. Really what I should be focusing on is my future career, not just having fun in California with Apple. I need an internship with an ad agency and it’s about time I got one.

Not landing the job has also given me some direction; where before there was one way that was completely unknown and 1800 miles away, now there’s something that’s a little less unknown but probably ten times more worthwhile to my career.

Now I need to get a job here and decide what I want to do when my lease is up in May. Fuck, it’s almost April. School is over in six weeks. Here goes.
