Scottsdale's a weird town.

Last night we all went to a wine bar in Scottsdale to celebrate Amber's birthday. It was real swanky and we got all dressed up, Scottsdale-style. Scottsdale is such a weird town. On the way there, there was a biker bar on one side of the street and a trendy RA sushi bar on the other. The wine was good and so were the appetizers.

I also got an email yesterday from another firm from the career fair that wants to interview me next Thursday. I won't name any names, but I will tell you all that it's an energy company. It's going to make things interesting with the other position because they'll probably call me by Thursday to either deny or offer me the position and now there's a whole new interview in the mix. Still, it's probably good to not have all the eggs in one basket (although I still think it's a pretty darn good basket).

Having (finally) reached a much-needed weekend, I don't have much time to enjoy it. I have a ton of crap to do, and it's important that I get totally caught up because I cannot afford to fall behind. So many projects all starting, so many tests coming up....and all I wanna do is sit in here and watch episodes of LOST all day.

Sigh.

Quote of the Day

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great moral teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."

The Interview

How'd the interview go, you ask? It went something like this:

I Feel Good (I Knew That I Would)

Career fair went surprisingly well considering that I fell flat on my face in my first couple talks with recruiters. Just as I was getting ready to call it a day I decided to go back in just to check out a couple more booths - and ended up talking with a great technology company that has offices in Seattle. Best of all, I got an interview scheduled with them for tomorrow! It's for their summer internship program, which is just for supply chain majors and - get this - is in Everett, Washington! They apparently rent out housing for all the interns to live together in and pay for it. Sounds awesome to me - I get to go home without really going "home." It's eerily perfect.

Also, I went and saw Pan's Labyrinth tonight. GO SEE THAT MOVIE. It is AMAZING. So well done, so much depth. It's a Spanish film (yes, there are subtitles) and it's just beautifullly done, very imaginative. You can watch the trailer here. It is truly a crying shame that we don't make movies like this in this country anymore - Hollywood is too busy churning out prepackaged, predictable, and formulaic blockbusters to bother making movies with incredible messages like this one. GO. SEE. IT.

Career Fair

I have been dreading the career fair we're having at the business school tomorrow for the entire week. That is, until I saw that Hewlett-Packard was going to be there. And that they have internships for supply chain majors. Lots of them. In Germany.

In Böblingen, of all places.

For those of you unaware, Böblingen is no more than 20 minutes from Tübingen.

This suddenly just got fun.

Along the Way: Now with 25% More Awesomeness!

Well, you've probably noticed things look a bit different here (that's because they are). I've changed the color a bit, and FINALLY figured out how to get rotating headers. So each time you view the blog, you'll see a different picture. Hope you all like it, cause I certainly do. Now I don't have to go through excrutiating shenanigans to get the blog to look different - all you have to do is hit refresh!
