I got my first second round!!!!

it's with GS whose interview was yesterday.... whee.... they do firmwide hiring so they're making me interview with the equity and financing group... my preferences were investment management and ficc.. so now i have to go read up on that stuff.

Of course I also have an interview in like a coupla hours i should really prepare for. and one tomorrow. and erm... more apps due on thursday.
but for now... whee...

*sigh*... so so far this week I've done one Pre-interview reception, one interview and handed in a five page paper. I also have a midterm tomorrow, another interview and another pre interview thing plus another interview on wed, and helping out at the sophomore concentration forum on wed. aaargh. and that's only half the week! Something tells me I should just drop ALL my classes.

blah.

I hate interviews

I always get all nervous and say the wrong things. AARGH.
So far I think I've screwed up all the interviews I've had, and two more this friday.

Grrrr...

my professor just died.

no honestly, I came home from maine (which was beautiful btw and I shall blog about it some other time but.. ) and I got an email saying he passed away on saturday of a heart attack. Now, they're trying to figure out what's going to happen to my course.

I was debating dropping the class in order to cope with my insane schedule so I guess I could drop the class but at the moment i definitely feel a bit strange. This is definitely not the kind of thing that you expect to happen to you. So yeah, a little in shock.

Exam in an hour

and I haven't done a thing for it yet.

In any case last night I came up with a score card. which at the moment reads 11 Resume submissions, 10 cover letters, 3 first round interviews, and 2 rejections. These are the scores of what I have already applied for and done. I swear applying for jobs is taking up more time than any of my classes.

*sigh* back to studying.

If you're wondering why I'm never around anymore.. let me just assure you that even if you live right across from me you would hardly see me.
my insane class load is definitely taking it's toll on sleep and everyting else. It seems getting 5hours of sleep a night is becoming the norm in addition to never getting enough of my work done to actually do anything fun.

I think part of the reason is that every weekday night I dress up in a suit and go to some info session on a particular company. And when I'm not in class or at a info session, I'm desperately trying to compose cover letters for job applications. Speaking of which i have 3 job inteviews on wednesday, which means 4 hours in the career center because I didn't want to run right from one intevew to the next considering that might not be too endearing. "Yes.. sorry i was five min late but I was inteviewing with your competitor." *grin* They are for investment banking.... seems like at the moment I'm going to go into either investment banking or consulting.

That is of course.. if they like me enough to call me back :-p. If they do I forsee seeing a lot of new york real soon :-p

Long absence

Yes I know I haven't been updating and it looks like my updating is going to be sparse until I get a little more time.

School's started and life's gotten busy... just this weekend, I've got reading for thesis, a 4 page paper worth 20 percent of my grade, 2 homework sets for a particuarly hard class, reading and preparing to lead discussion for a seminar and language homework- for a class i'm not even officially registered for.

I seem to have more work than I have number of hours in a day for. So until you see me again I'll be at my desk.

my room has finally reached some semblance of order and with that, the sense of urgency that usually occupies my life has unusally departed. Just for these few days there are no classes. Just for these few days, there is not much that I can do or should do.

two of my roommates are currently doing some serious moving in and unpacking. Being that I'm going to be here nine months, I've decided against investing that much physical and emotional energy into my room... so it's going to be nice, but definitely nothing like my housemates' rooms.

Seeing my housemates, I always wonder if I should be more involved with university life. Compared to them I do nothing but academics. Then again to me, what i do is more fun than what they do for fun. I wonder if the people who read my resume would see it that way.

my room is officially a mess.

There's stuff all over the floor and the desk, two huge cardboard boxes filled with random junk and a coupla empty boxes and shelves lying around. This is despite the fact that I probably own the least out of all my roommates.

I hate packing and moving in and out. Now you know why. You know, for someone who hates packing and living out of suit cases and unpacking, I do a lot of travelling.

Providence...

is where I finally am and and undergoing intensive days of mj training and advising. That actually is the shortened title for peer advisors for freshmen so no, i'm not turning into the more famous mj.

I am extremely jetlagged so what I've been doing is unpacking bit by bit when I'm not at peer advising - which is nearly never. It's pretty hot in providence too and cold only at night when the weather figures out I don't have a comforter or any blankets.

Yep. This is going to be an extremely short post because i haven't got back to the point of being able to think coherently yet.
