EEk! This is what’s up:

(This is NOT an advertisement– though, I suppose it would be pretty acceptable if Ben & Jerry’s would pay me for this…)

BEN & JERRY’S STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE ICE CREAM = The BEST ice cream I’ve ever had… I would write more– but words just can’t describe how exceptional it is. Reader, you’ve just got to try it. I’ve been getting buried with school work (again) lately. I’m doing Statistics, and I needed some moral support– which is what I found in this fantastic ice cream.

I think I’ve been becoming increasingly more nutty, lately…. I’m also enduring Cherrie-withdrawal. Sorry, Reader.

I also had my interview with IBM today– and I felt SO HONORED when the recruiter I interviewed with greeted me with a, “Hi Rachel! I met you last September at the Career Fair!” It is such an honor to be memorable enough for a recruiter (especially from a company as large as IBM) to remember you (me?) from a 5-10 minute conversation six months ago.

The interview was about 75 minutes, which is–hands down– the longest interview I’ve ever had. It consisted of being interviewed by two people, and honestly, today’s interview was the most unusual interview I’ve ever had. I didn’t get asked any of the “standard” questions that I prepared for (i.e. “What are your strengths?” or “Tell me about a group project” or “Tell me a little about yourself.”). The first interview was even more unusual in that he essentially said,

“I think I already have a pretty good feel for who you are– so I’d like you to take this opportunity to interview me, and ask me questions to help you make a better decision about IBM.” So for about 30 minutes I essentially interrogated him…

I don’t generally talk about my interviews for a few reasons, but today’s interview was so unusual that I found it exceptionally memorable. I would die (in the best way possible) if I received an offer from IBM, especially since I’ve been trying to get an interview with IBM for three semesters now. Overwhelming schoolwork aside, I feel pretty happy.

That is all– I’m doubtful of the coherence of this entry…– Sorry Reader. I’m so honored that you got this far– Thank you!

Hopefully once all of this chaos ends, I can tell you ALL about the non-excitement that is my life. I know you are looking forward to this. Who isn’t?

LOVE,

Rachel

P.S. I need to learn how to schedule sleep into my schedule.
