Summer Internship

So this morning I had that internship at Milwaukee's Lifestyle Magazine. I was so afraid I wouldn't be there on time I left an hour early, mapquest said it would take 28 minutes to get there--I didn't trust it. I left myself more time.

Well, mapquest was right. About 28 minutes later and a half hour early, there I was. Sitting in front of the building.

So I occupied myself by reviewing the questions I'd been rehearsing in my head, looking through their magazine....after about 15 minutes I got bored and decided to go inside.

I was taken right away and sat in a room with a 3 people. It was a bit intimidating at first, but I was surprisingly calm for it being my first "real" interview.

They did a lot of talking, and most of the questions I had been rehearsing were not even asked. A lot of the questions I had been planning on talking about when they said "any questions for us?" were already answered in the interview.

I think I did really well. They were impressed by my graduating a semester early, seemed to like my work I showed them, and asked questions like "when are you available to start" and "do you live near here?"

1-2 weeks I'll find out.

It's quite a load off my back, but it'll be even more of a load off if I actually get it. I'm kind of confident. I think I might (knock on wood).
