Note: So, I just had this whole damn thing written up when I got booted because my session expired. I'm currently working on updating the site's code, but I probably won't get around to fixing those kind of flaws until this summer.

The College of Engineering Internship fair was this past Thursday. That meant that I, along with just about every other undergrad engineering student, got all spiffed up to beg for a job this summer. I'm usually pretty skeptical about these huge career fairs, but this one went fairly well for me. Most of the reps I talked to seemed pretty impressed that I had taken the initiative to learn all the skills required to build this website. I even got asked back for an interview with National Instruments on Tuesday! We'll see how it goes, but I'm cautiously optimistic. There's only about 25 other people they're interviewing, and about 20 of those are hardware guys. That means not much competition for me, which is probably a good thing.

Of course, the downside to this is that I had to go out and buy a new dress shirt. For some reason, all my dress shirts from high school have become something of a tight fit. Imagine that. The damn thing cost about double what I thought it should, so it had better be worth it. Hell, for what I payed the damn thing better include a jetpack and shoot friggin' lasers out of its buttons.
