Double header

I dressed up for my interview today. I put on comfy shoes with intentions of changing into dressier ones later. I went home for the sole purpose of getting my shoes. I came home, checked my e-mail, grabbed a snack, brushed my hair, and transferred my stuff from my backpack to my purse. I then left and drove back to work. About half way there I realized I forgot to change into my dress shoes. I hope I didn't look too silly rocking these in front of the company rep tonight:

These aren't the exact pair that I own, but they are pretty close.

My interview with DecisionWise was postponed today. Had I known, I could have slept for another couple of hours last night instead of pouring over their Web site looking for suggestions and understanding their business. I'm running on about 4 hours of sleep right now. Because of this, at my meeting tonight for another internship opportunity at times I'm pretty sure my eyes closed for at least a good 5 seconds or so on multiple occasions. I tried soooo hard to stay awake, but I simply couldn't. It was one of those times when you feel your eyes close and you're screaming in your head,

"Your eyes are closed. WHY are your eyes closed? Open your eyes dummy!"

But you just can't. Your body refuses to respond to your mind. Such is the life of a sleep deprived college student I suppose. At least I can look on the bright side and be thankful I wasn't behind the wheel of a car like that time on the way home from J. City. However, it's still not a good idea in front of a potential employer.

I really want this internship. I know it means moving to California, (L.A. to be exact) which seems a little terrifying. But I would love it! Moving to California for a semester would give me awesome work experience, a chance to live in a major city, meet new people, learn to surf, start another chapter of my life and basically have an all-around crazy semester. Cross those fingers...the real interview is tomorrow morning at 11. I also have another at 1 with DecisionWise. Hence the double header.

If I never hear the Celebrate Good Times song in my life again it will be too soon! The kids at work learned it to sing at Lights On tonight so we've been listening to and singing it every day for the past few weeks. I may hate this song, but this song has been stuck in my head all day long for some reason:

I'm not sure where I heard this recently to get it stuck in my head, but it is 80s fabulous!

One last thing:

I love The Biggest Loser. I experienced severe disappointment tonight when the black team sent Abby home. She is hands down my favorite contestant this season. She is so strong, and her story amazes me. After losing her entire family in a car crash several years ago, she has decided she is ready to put her life back together and be happy again. Just the mere fact she went through such a terrible tragedy is inspiring enough, but to hear her say how she is finally seeing the positive side of life and turning her tragedy into something that helps others is simply wonderful. I found a decent article about her online. And here's her background story if you're not familiar with it. There are also some videos on NBC.com.
