On Monday I discovered I had missed my chance to apply for a Software Engineering internship at Google. In North America, at least. I was both disappointed and frustrated, having been prepared to spend the afternoon working on my application but never having received a deadline. On Wednesday I was startled to discover the student to whom I had given a 13% was a man in his mid-thirties with a wife and kids and a very reasonable appeal for a better grade than he received. Somehow even this simple, calmly negotiated disagreement gnawed at me for the rest of the day. Yesterday the observatory was closed after we came all the way from the South 40 to go to it, and today it rained.
Overall, it was a good week.
I found a renewed desire for adventure both at school and for this summer and felt the highest I have all month, both literally and emotionally. Literally, you ask? Despite the fact that the observatory was closed, not all of the doors were, and we managed to get out onto the lowest roof of Crow and, with a little work, up to a point above the observatory. I suppose I was still riding that wave today, and the combination of that with Flatterland, my anticipation of the weekend, the rain, and my continual discovery of wonderful music was a recipe for that ever-hunted but oft-elusive Good Day.
Speaking of music, check out Kina Grannis on YouTube, MySpace, or iTunes. She is awesome.
