so, I' back from the interview (Ellie, thanks so much for h's suggestions!). I think it went really well. I was well-prepared and they seemed interested and the conversations just kind of flowed. If they are interested in pursuing this further they'll have me in for a second interview (to meet with someone from the board of directors).

The job seems interesting and it seems as though I could learn a lot of key nonprofit stuff. Probably take on as much responsibility as I want, too!

I was completely stressed out over the weekend between the pending interview and my school project. I also spent time with my dad and (separately) my mom so that's always stressful too...h has been completely, utterly and totally awesome. He told me on Friday that he would be creating a "cocoon of love" for me all weekend. So, basically no matter what I asked or expressed he would say "yes, that does occur in the 'cocoon of love'" or not. He even made up some hand gestures to indicate it from afar.

He's sitting here near me working on his homework.

I'm meeting with my teacher this afternoon. Not too psyched about that but I do think it will alleviate some of the "unknowns" of my project and help me feel more focused.
