Woo! I had an interview this morning for an internship at NASA. I think I nailed it. Hurray! I'll know for sure in two weeks anyway. The idea of some practical application for what I'm doing in class makes the reading so much easier to get through. Though I still don't understand how it's possible that for twenty pages I read, seventy-five more seem to appear out of nowhere. Ugh.
Last night I finished my mittens and started on the matching hat. I just need to finish the hat, weave in the ends, take pictures, and type up the pattern. That's some kind of progress anyway.
It seems like school is getting easier, not exactly in the sense that the workload is any less, it's actually a lot more, but I'm understanding things and putting it together faster, and seem to be doing well when I get grilled by my professors. I was the daily Socratic victim in Con Law on Monday, and managed to hold my own for most of the class on a case we didn't actually read directly, and have managed to have intelligent conversations with potential employers about the vagaries of contract, tort and property theories, so I think it's starting to click.
Of course, it feels like the rest of my life is falling to pieces...I never have been able to maintain professional/academic success along with a personal and emotional life. Too many of my ambitions and goals seem to be mutually exclusive these days.
