This is belated since it happened earlier in the week, but I got a call from Raytheon to ask about my availability to do a phone interview! I'm super stoked about this. It's obviously an awesome company and from the description, should involve all kinds of interesting work with radar profiles. I'm particularly excited because the posting didn't have as stringent GPA requirements as usual. I've got a pomegranate ton of internship experience and know my stuff, but my grades seems to be turning some people away. I really wish I'd been able to get my pomegranate together sooner because I think this may have closed some doors.
I also emailed my previous boss about a position with that company that I'm applying for but haven't heard anything about. He was very enthusiastic and assured me that he'd give a glowing recommendation so I'm definitely hopeful!
It's been tough as hell to balance commuting, work, job applications, and a full class schedule. I'm not putting in nearly as much time to astrophysics and my microcontroller classes as I should, but I'm pulling out all the stops and sprinting for the end to try and get my GPA up as much as possible. God I hope I get a job offer so I can finally move out again and get on with my life. I love my family but I desperately need to take control of my life again.
I also ended up bar hopping with some friends, including the LA girl who I went out with a few times. It was an awesome time and led to meeting a fair number of attractive ladies, but I'm mostly just happy that we both managed to enjoy ourselves without any of the awkwardness of last time. I really needed the night off, but it's time to shift back into full study mode as midterms approach rapidly. 7 more weeks until I graduate!
