I don't know yet...

I'm not exactly sure what we did this week...I'll be honest. But stuff, definitely stuff. :)

I know somewhere in there I checked out a couple of bags full of library books, and made progress on my thesis. I'm getting so close to being able to just run all my experiments and conduct the survey. I'm shooting for the end of this week to finish the experiments; hopefully it won't be much longer than that because I have hard deadlines approaching sooner than I would like!

Half of a couple of days this week was shot because of a couple of phone interviews. Why the HR people take so long setting things up, I don't know. One of the interviews went well; we talked about ideas behind current research and possibilities for the project the company is working on. The other didn't go well at all. I think the hardest thing for me is showing confidence when I'm trying to work through a "technical" problem in an interview. They can't see my facial expressions, so I know I have to be verbal about my thought process, but it doesn't come naturally and I often find myself adding a "I think" or a "maybe" at the end of my answer. And halfway through the interview I could tell the interviewer was docking me "points" for lack of confidence. I had the right answer...but you know it is a bad sign when the interviewer starts being sarcastic.... Oh well. Hopefully the interview I felt good about will result in a call back. :)

Other than that, we worked on a lot of projects and made it up to the Hogle Zoo for a couple of hours. We gotta get in enough zoo trips before our annual pass expires next month! Besides, who doesn't like a good excuse to watching the monkeys play [or American Brown Bears for that matter...]? And Monday we did dinner and games with our upstairs neighbors. We should do that more often.

Ta-Da. That's all we did this week. Happy Mothers Day.
