I really don't have time to post right now as I have a deadline tomorrow for my electronic music independent study; however, I am extremely excited about this and I feel I need to share the news. Last night, I received an e-mail from Google inviting me to a phone interview for the user experience research internship! I'm really not very good at phone interviews (I have a tendency to get nervous/pace during them), but I'm relieved that I'm out of the black hole of their database and I'm finally going to get to speak with them and try to sell myself. This is an internship that I'm really excited to be interviewing for since Google definitely seems to have a grasp on the importance of user experience and make it a central cornerstone to their corporation. The exact time of the interview hasn't been set yet, but I'll be sure to post how it went sometime after it's over--I won't be posting any of the questions, just how I felt it went.

In other news, I ended up winning ANOTHER iPod Shuffle from DealsPl.us, this time because Danielle won and I invited her so that meant I got the same prize that she received. I also won $10 worth of Fandango tickets from them on Saturday. Needless to say, I'm a pretty big fan of them, and encourage everybody to join (free registration) and checkout all the great deals and giveaways.

Also, there probably won't be an update this weekend since I'm going home for my grandma's 85th birthday and while I now finally have it set up so I can easily do updates remotely from any computer (thanks Blogger for finally allowing me to shut off the navigation bar), I more than likely will be occupied with spending some time with my family and getting some work done--since I lost about 8 hours in the round trip drive. On a final note, my on campus interview with Garmin is on Friday.
