Suddenly two prospects on the job market appear from nowhere in the timespan of a week!
One internship I applied at start of april (the job posting was much much older though), they actually got back to me quickly. Already spoke on the phone to people and that went pretty well, probably will have full interview.
One full time employment I applied at beginning of february and sometime mid february answered additional questions (written), never heard back but just heard I have a phone call coming up
Even if I blow it, it's quite odd to hear nothing for December-Now and then bam, TWO! prospects in the span of essentially a week?
A week where I finished a ~10,000 word essay, finished my lab course (one of two courses I need to pass to graduate; rest can actually fail), and come saturday will have our senior design project done and paper turned in (regardless of whether we could have gone further, it'll be done)?
Busy but exciting week!

MELBOURNE VICTORY 4 LYFE.
Probably not the victory tk was talking about, but still worthy of a rave.

Finally some $%#*ing good news!
So I have an interview with a company for a co-op next week. With a co-op, I'd push my graduation back by a year. The company also doesn't pay great (it pays good, but not as well as most others) and to be honest, I wasn't thrilled with the kind of work they do.
I am in line for a promotion on the satellite team (a big promotion) but a co-op would effectively rule that out. I love sat team, but making money would be nice and the experience of a co-op would give me a leg up after graduation. Then again, it could lock me into the kind of jobs I don't want to do while the sat team keeps me more on track with my professional goals.
So it's a mixed bag - complicated by the fact that the co-op is near here so I could still see my wife on weekends and I could stay with my grandmother so my living expenses would be ~$0 (big deal as interns/co-ops usually struggle to break even when they have to pay for two apartments and living expenses).
But I just got offered a work study opportunity which means I would get paid to do the work I'm already doing for the sat team. It would also be full time over the summer and part time during the year, which means I can get paid for my work and also not miss out on graduation. The pay isn't as good as the co-op, but I'll have a job title and I'll also get the promotion I'm in line for.
Which means all in all it's a great compromise and I'm going to take it!
I'm still doing the interview for the co-op and I'll keep an open mind, but so long as school funding holds out then I'll most likely take work study. Win-win really
There's also still some open applications out there for jobs I really do want so we'll have to see but for now I'm ecstatic!

So, this guy yesterdsy hurt me by saying some things that were mostly true and I don't like to listen to. But he pushed me back into my emotional zone. It has been months since I last really felt intense emotions or anything similat. It's good to feel alive again.
