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!

Quote of the Day

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

Sigh...

It's only 2 weeks into the semester and I'm already behind. I remain trotzdem vigilant and am totally determined to be caught up by the time Monday rolls around. It will happen.

In other news, I accept with great honor the award of Weirdest Person Shannon Conley Knows. Please, hold the applause.

Also, it is most definitely time to go back to Germany. I miss it something terrible.

East Germany = Hilarious

It helps if you speak German.

The Law of the Laundry Room

All seven of the washing machines in the laundry room are busy. And they are all on the same cycle (spin) which leads me to believe that they are all washing one person's clothing.

Allow me to make something clear to you, you seven-washing-machine-using person:

There is an unwritten Law of the Laundry Room. Evidently you have never been exposed to it. It is as follows:

1. Never, at any time nor for any reason, may you use more than 2 washing machines at once. Using two in the first place is a stretch. Seven washers is far beyond insane. I am not sure what disturbs me more; your lack of consideration for others, or the fact that you actually own enough clothing to fill seven washing machines at once.

2. Clothes should be removed from the washer no more than 15 seconds after the cycle ends. It is your responsibility and duty to keep a sharp eye on the clock so you can collect your clothes as soon as they're done washing. There are hundreds of people living in this building, and we'd all (or at least the vast majority of us) like to not smell bad. Keep it moving. Same goes for the dryers. Also, you should know that while I was in the laundry room inspecting your handiwork, no less than three of the washing machines finished their cycles and you were nowhere to be seen by the time 15 seconds were up. That's three counts of a Class 2 Violation.

3. On the subject of dryers: it is also your responsibility to clean out the lint collector after drying your clothes. None of us, least of all me, want to be the one who have to take in hand the soft and hair-filled fluff of lint that you leave behind.
