time….i have not had enough of it this week. between hw for one class due monday, then hw for another due today, and then going out of town tomorrow….i’ve run out of time on more than one occasion this week. i even took a day off of work yesterday so i could do hw and do stuff in preparation for this weekend. you have no idea how great it was, but yet, i wish i could have been at work. combustion hw just is not that fun.

i finally heard about the Virginia job today…i didn’t get it. don’t worry, i’ve kind of been expecting it for a week. last week i heard my friend melanie got a job in fairfax, and i thought if we had been up for the same job, she’d get it (and she did). i didn’t even know we were competing for the same job! part of the job was something she’s been doing for the past 6 months, she’s got way more experience than me. the good thing i made contacts, and i know that doesn’t seem like a consolation, it’s better than nothing. plus, now i have a friend who works up there. i talked to the first guy i interviewed with for about 15 minutes today (he called me back from my VM i left tuesday), and he gave me some advice and info on another person i can talk to about getting a job with that group. it is not a total loss. also, some jobs opened up in denver, and with the contacts i already have there, when i finish my last rotation, i’ll have denver as an option too. i’m trying to stay positive in this, and i guess it’s not too hard. i mean, i really wanted a change, but not changing right now is not that bad. plus, i get to go to all the concerts this fall and not have to miss something. excellent.

i’m going to houston this weekend…to see the dave matthews band (i know…but they can still put on a good live show, i hope anyway). i know most people are normally really excited to see a band for the first time in 3 years, but i’m just not there. i blame most of it on the time issue from this week, and all the work i have to do this weekend. the trip just seems like something i could cut out.

one more month to ryan adams….and i think i’m going to try to hit up 3 shows. it’ll be a great october. :)
