Finally

We didn't have class today, but that doesn't mean I'm not thinking about it.

My group is putting our finishing touches on our big article. We changed the entire thing, so I hope it turns out for the better.

I won't be in class on Thursday either because my big ego helped me land my first official job interview. Remember how I was talking about being passionate about cover letters? Well, it finally worked. Once I got my head out of the bucket and stuck my chin up in the air despite the bad economy, I guess companies saw the optimism in my words and decided to act on it, and see if I really am a good fit in person. I had a phone interview this morning, which went well. But the real interview I'm concerned about is Thursday's. I'm traveling into Boston at 8:30 a.m....and probably won't get back until later in the day. Someone likes me, guys. Two people, actually, have liked me on paper.

Finally!

Now, they must like me in person.

This is kind of a far fetch...but what if you lied about everything you did? I wonder if people lie during their job interviews. That's certainly a form of cheating/plagiarism. Do people say they're more qualified than they really are? And then once their boss finds out, what happens to that person? Are they ruined for life...or do they just go from job to job, sneaking around and about...? It's an interesting thought.

But once again, the feeling you get from accomplishing everything you put down on a full-blown resume is nothing but pride. I look at my resume and think to myself, "Wow, and these are only the things that have significance for me and landing a job." I actually had to leave some summer jobs off of my resume just to fit it all on one page.

Life's exciting.

Why waste it on cheating?
