I haven’t yet heard back about my application, so I guess it’s safe to assume that I won’t be getting the job. It saddens me, but I suppose it’s for the best. Lucky for me, this semester quite a few companies are coming to campus, and many of them seem really interesting. There’s an engineering fair on Friday, which will have several companies present. In addition, individual companies will be coming to give presentations later on in the semester. It’s all very exciting, and I hope that I find the company that’s a perfect fit– for both me and them. Maybe if I’m really, really lucky, I’ll find a company that values not only my programming skills, but my language skills. I would really love to find a job where I could use both throughout my day. Maybe it’s just a dream, but it does give me something to shoot for.

Since I doubt that the company I applied for is still interested in me, I’ve also given up all hope of leaving my current location. I guess it wouldn’t be such a bad thing to stay here a little longer, but I do hope that someday we can go somewhere else. I know that not everyone shares my sentiments. Maybe time will change one of us. I guess it doesn’t really matter who, as long as we’re both happy with where we are. Maybe one day I’ll grow to like this place, and no longer feel like an outsider. Maybe.
