All things considered - not a bad day. My interview went very well. I ended up talking to 4 travelocity.com people for 4 hours. They seem to be running a pretty slick operation there. I think I made a very positive impression, so I'm hoping to hear good news. I should know sometime mid-next week.

After my interview, I went over to the Salvation Army. One of my friends here in Dallas is volunteering for them manning phones, and needed an extra hand, so I helped out. It turned out to be a pretty boring, yet satisfying experience. I only got to field one call (we were there to accept donations for a Salvation Army NY fund), but it felt good. It was a woman whose company lost a lot of people in the WTC. She seemed really disturbed - on the brink of tears perhaps - and it seemed to comfort her that she could do something to help.

I'm still pretty affected emotionally about this whole terrorist thing. I always have NPR playing in my car these days, and I'm overwelmed with sadness at moments when I least expect it. Then, tonight, I tried watching news on TV - I haven't really turned on the television since tuesday - getting my information instead on the internet. After half an hour I just couldn't stand it - the media has a way of pulling emotional strings... I don't know how I feel about that.

Happy Birthday Garrett Walker! You're 25 now - stop acting like a kid =)

I just got some pictures from my recent trip to Austin. I've been meaning to post them up, but I've been rather busy lately.

I've been listening to Sarah Vaughn - old time jazz singer - recently. Her smooth tone puts my soul at peace and makes me smile (when I\'m not singing along).

After everything that happened tuesday, I wrote and have been maintaing a webpage listing Amherst alumn who were in the NY / DC area. It's taken up a significant amount of my time these past few days, but I've receieved a lot of positive feedback on it, and it makes me happy that I can do something to help other people.

Other than that, I've been doing my normal normal - studying for school and looking for a job. Today while I was checking answers for a practice LSAT i took yesterday, I noticed by chance that 50% of my wrong answers were supposed to be answer choice 'E'. Quite a revelation, as it means that I have a tendancy to be swayed by at least one of the answers before I even get to the end of the list of possible answers. I guess it really pays to analyze in depth practice test results as well as simply taking a lot of practice tests.

On the job front - very good news. This evening I got a call, and I have an interview tomorrow (Friday) at 3pm! It's for a lead tech position at Travelocity.com in SF. Wish me luck everyone!

I hope all are doing well.
