So, ever since I got put on the Eligible List for the Louisiana State Crime Lab, I’ve been obsessively checking the website I applied through (governmentjobs.com, for future reference) and my status has been changed from “Put on Eligible List” to “Reviewing Qualifications”. I asked Dr. Maxwell in the Forensic Science department about it and she said that it just means that they’re going through the applications that made it through and I might be hearing about an interview soon.
I’ve already decided that if they ask, I’m going to fly out for interview if possible, because phone interviews can go just plain wrong sometimes. So, now I have to budget for a plane ticket in between my bills. Being an adult can suck sometimes. Well, the bill part anyway.
I was going to spend my entire Spring Break studying for my biochemistry exam that I have next Wednesday and I seem to have gotten absolutely nothing for done it. I managed to print out the material and have answered most of the study guide; I just can’t seem to bring myself to do any more. I suppose I know what I’m doing this weekend and all of next week.
An interesting feature of being the oldest kid in your family and being in college is that you get really random phone calls from family members. For example, my mom was reading the back of a soda bottle once and called me to ask me questions about one of the ingredients in it, forcing me to relive organic chemistry. Or, for example, my little brother received some crazy leg injury and was prescribed something for the pain, but no one is really sure what it does. So, when my brother calls and mentions it, I have to look it up and try to explain the chemistry behind it. It’s amusing at times and definitely a role reversal from when I would come home from elementary school and ask my mom why the alphabet was chosen to be put in that order.
On a final note, just sixty-three days until graduation. Scary. I promise more interesting and less chaotic entries once classes start again.
