a red white and blue week

The only thing I missed out on was going to the Smithsonian Museum of American History. Unfortunately it’s closed until late November for renovations. The trip was great. I really enjoyed DC and I could definitely see myself living there for 2-3 years in the future.

This time last week I was sitting in my hotel room with a burrito from Chipotle and an ever-wonderful gigantic Jamba Juice, vegging out on the bed with CSI on the TV. It was 9 PM. I had arrived in Seattle only a few hours earlier and was ready for a good night’s sleep.
“Seattle?” you say. Yes. Seattle. You see, two weeks ago I got a call from the Cornell recruiter at Microsoft. It seems my resume had made it through the black hole and had piqued the interest of some people there. They wanted to fly me out for interviews. “Please choose 4 possible dates. No Wednesdays.” 4 dates? Have you SEEN my schedule? Luckily, I managed to get my first choice, which meant I needed to be on a plane to the other coast 4 days later.
