"It's easy..."

Mock interviews are quite possibly one of the best investments of my time here at UT. Let me count the ways:
1) I get more experience interviewing with a real live recruiter rather than just practicing in front of the mirror or while I'm driving to the laundromat (i.e. my brother's place). Thursday's interview was especially helpful - I like how the recruiters will tell you what you did right and what you did wrong/need to work on right then and there. I guess the best way to know what recruiters are looking for is to ask them directly, eh? Yeah, so the constructive criticism went like this: I need to know myself better - I think he meant that I needed to know what direction I wanted to take after college better. But I'm a freshman, right? I'm betting I've got a little more time to figure that out.
2) Free stuff. Duh. Everyone who participated got a little UT backpack thing. I really don't know the correct term for those bags.
3) Uh, more free stuff - in this case food. Yes, I managed to walk out of the business school with two lunches from this nifty little sandwich shop down the street. Free food = good anytime.
Moral of this story is: sign up for mock interviews. NOW. If you can't sign up now... uh, go watch some Veronica Mars and see the fabulousness you're missing out on.
I was contemplating getting really deep about something that's been on my mind lately, but I've decided to let that wait until tomorrow; vado a letto ora perché sono molto stanca. You know how it goes.
Final thoughts for tonight - a book, an album, and a quotation.
_The Plot Against America_ by Philip Roth (why we should be thankful Charles Lindbergh never ran for president)
"The Graduate" by MC Lars (Be careful: he's apparently 'more punk than you'.)
and finally, something that I find inspiring - it's also a kind of lead-in for my next entry:
"There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be."
-The Beatles, 'All You Need is Love'
