As a chapter closes, another begins
So, I have a TON of research to do for my interviews tomorrow so this is going to be short but I wanted to commemorate a couple events:
1. I finished the last paper of my college career tonight. It was a weird feeling hitting save and knowing that was it, but it also brought a huge wave of relief and excitement
2. Tomorrow is my first post college interviews. I have two interviews with Edelman in Seattle which is my dream company. I'm being interviewed for its Tech team and the Xbox platform team. So, none the less, as I am not a gamer, I've spent the past two days doing a lot of primary and secondary research. I've been researching the company, xbox, the tech team's companies, played Xbox for the first time last night (I'm really bad at Guitar Hero) and took a guy I know who's big into games out for a drink tonight and had him teach me the ins and outs. I hope it goes well because I want to work for the company so bad, you have no idea.
3. I am tired beyond belief. I think the 4.5 years of kicking my own ass and doing as much as will humanly fit in with my schedule has finally caught up with me and all I can say is I'm exhausted. The sad thing is, I'm so used to 5-6 hours of sleep a night that it doesn't even phase me. I couldn't tell you the last time I slept in. Even though school will be over after tomorrow I've still got so much to do. I do, however, intend to give myself a couple days without an alarm and let myself recover.
4. It's a weird feeling being done with school. I've looked forward to it for so long and now that it's here I don't know what to do with myself. A big chapter of my life has ended and I can say that I'm really excited for whatever comes next but I'm also very stressed out and a little scared. I'm not good at taking risks. I like to have a plan and know where I'm going and right now I don't have that. I know it'll work out so I'm not worried but it is still a bit overwhelming.
So here's to the future and what's to come! I'm off to bed so I can get up early tomorrow and learn more about Edelman, Xbox, and the tech team. Wish me luck!
