239 Days since graduation

Early yesterday morning I received a phone call from Amber. She said the practice in Brookline wanted an interview. The kicker is they wanted to do it over the phone (no suit was ever needed). Anyway, I went into work with the baby and put her down for her nap in time for my phone interview. Amber had sent me a detailed description of the position complete with important skills of mine to mention. I thought that I had done a pretty great job of sounding awesome, but the HR director sounded very disinterested. I was a little disappointed, but it was my first real job interview, so I chocked it up to experience.
I spent half an hour complaining to two friend about how I'd screwed up this job that was for the ideal position that I wanted. I got the baby up and we went out for an adventure. Then I got another call from Amber. She wanted to know how the interview went. I told her that I thought I'd done the best I could, but that they didn't seem too interested. Apparently part of the job of an HR director is too seem very composed and aloof because they hired me. I start as soon as I get home from NC. It's a MTRF position, so I will still probably work as Elly's Nanny on Wednesdays, and I may even keep my Sat, Sun baby sitting jobs as well as pick up a few extra weekday evening gigs. I'm so excited to start, though it is a Temp-to-Hire position, so there is no guarantee that the position will even exist permanently.
Now that the job hunt is temporarily over, I can focus on my midterms this week. I have one in Biology and one in Psychology, but I haven't even bought the textbooks for either class, so we'll see how that goes. On to the future!
