So…I don’t think the interview went that well. Reasons being:

1) Nobody on the panel smiled. How intimidating.

2) It lasted for 20 minutes. I mean, I know they have a lot of applicants, but 20 minutes?! Really??

3) 5 minutes into the interview, one of the guys on the panel stopped writing notes. Like, as if to say, “yea, I’m pretty certain we’re not going to go with you, so I’ll just save myself the trouble of writing down the shit that’s coming out of your mouth.” Ouch. Although – that was just my interpretation of the situation. But I’m usually pretty accurate with this kind of stuff…

4) I felt rushed the entire time. This could also be my crazy mind at work, but I just felt like they wanted me to hurry up with my answers. So, I felt like I was not explaining things to the best of my ability because they just wanted to hurry and get on to the next applicant.

 

Oh well – what’s done is done. And if nothing else, this was a good opportunity to practice my interviewing skills (I need LOTS of practice…). Next interview scheduled is May 30th in L.A.

After the interview, I decided to skip out on visiting Stanford (I don’t want to fall in love with the place just yet….) and went straight back to Jen’s to change out of my interview clothes. Then jumped back in the car to go to the local Farmer’s Market (read: Farmer’s market but in actuality, it’s a cute little shop that’s available to Saratog-ians EVERY DAY!). Bought some lovely, fresh ingredients for dinner:

Had some tofu stir-fry on top of salad. No need for dressing – the feta was so fresh tasting, it added so much flavor! Didn’t get an actual picture of the salad – we devoured it. Also devoured the oven-roasted brussel sprouts and cauliflower, so no picture of that either. But here’s a picture of the stir-fry – SO MUCH COLOR! I love when I eat in color.

Now, I’m off to bed. Early morning tomorrow – going with Jen to work. It’ll be great to be able to spend an entire day helping her out and watching how her centers play out. 6:45 AM – STARBS RUN!
