All right, it's been a week since my last post, and what a busy week it's been.

First off, went home this weekend, partially for the Superbowl food and partially to keep adding to my hat inventory. And boy was the Superbowl food delicious. I bet if I learned to make the thing mom made, I'd be the most popular person in the dorms. It was really hard to be productive with my homework and hats when all I wanted to do was keep eating that dip.

Then coming back to school, everything got kicked off into a blur. Last night, we had mock interviews for the position I applied for, and it certainly was helpful. Not only is there an individual interview like what most people think of when they think of an interview, but there's also a group aspect where various interviewees are watched by the employers to see how well you work as both a leader and a member of a group. That's going to be on Saturday, but last night was a little more relaxed. Groups went well enough, thanks to my years of group work in high school classes and clubs. And thank you Academic Decathlon. When I got to my individual practice interview, my mentor was amazed at my answers.

I'm good at the interview game.

She told me that it was going to be perfect, and that if she was hiring, I'd be hired on the spot. That was certainly heartening, seeing as there are going to only be one or two openings in my category, unless I tell them that I'm okay with working in the non-honors dorms. I might do that, just to be on the safe side for the position. Of course, I was feeling good after last night, when my mentor told me that it was almost guaranteed.

Today was free pancake day at IHOP. Tristan and I went off to it, and surprisingly, for an IHOP so close to a college campus it was pretty moderately empty. We got in an out of there in an hour, maybe a little more, with plenty of time to head back to class. Classes were normal, just like every other day, and then later I went to a training for an overnight ambassador position that I may or may not get. It isn't because I won't be qualified, they just have more ambassadors than visitors coming. I met a few of my friends there, and we were talking about the previous night because most if not all the people there were applying to be a CA.

Remember how I mentioned feeling good about my chances. Well, one of my friends, Ian, told me he kept hearing them mention to everyone being interviewed how well they were doing. Well, dammit. If we were all doing great, how are we supposed to compete? Now I'm a little uncertain, but hopefully the nerves are gone by Saturday. Thanks, Ian, for ruining my hopes.

Now I'm just hoping to get through the week and rock the interview. Yay for jobs!
