I went to the interview for my internship today. I used mass transit, and oh gosh, it took an hour to get there. I love mass transit, I love the community, eco-friendly, don't-have-to-pay-for-gas thing, but really, traveling two hours to and fro, for a 15-minute interview was a bit extravagant. Especially because I am feeling like I missed the boat or whatever with this interview. I didn't talk, I did my awkward "look-straight-at-the-person, knod-every-few-points" thing. I didn't talk much, I didn't tell her about myself, so I am really thinking, I blew it.

This seems like a great opportunity, and I really want to work for a magazine. But I also don't know if this is the right one. It's great, but it just seems that perhaps, many magazines are very elitist. Nonetheless, this would be a great starting point. A great place to learn and start off by doing the dirty work.

Besides me thinking that I blew the opportunity, I look forward to finding out whether or not she liked me. She had more interviews. I thought this was a sure thing. I guess this was only a chance. I'm grateful that she did end up responding to my resume though. I want Splash to contact me, too. Seems unlikely at this point. I can't wait to get back to school and see what they have to offer regarding internship opportunities. And I need to brush up my concise journalistic style. My writing has retrogressed; my papers have been very circumlocutory lately. Too many run-ons and "pretentiousness."
