..Like A Failure. I found an internship that I really, REALLY want on Wednesday, and today I put together my application. I was pumped. Well, true to style, I mucked it up by not putting the correct subject line in my email, which is explicitly layed out in the job posting. Way to ruin it Nial. Way to go.
..Like A Commodity. I had an interview today with a potential guest family, and there was a GIZ rep there too. It was really weird, being asked about my whole life and my habits, and what I do during the day, if I'm a nice and orderly person, what kind of music I like, what do I normally eat..... Needless to say I felt really weird. And naturally, I couldn't think of any questions to ask until I left. So no return fire was made. Weird. And to top it off, they 'Sie'd me the whole time. That was weird.
..Like I'm Not Doing Enough. I feel like I could be doing so much more, or that I'm not doing enough to make the most of my time during the weeks. I go to lectures, then I usually go to the library to work on job applications. Of course there's a little bit of mindless time mixed in there, but what else can I be doing to maximize my time and meet new people? I'm never good at this, and I need to get better.
..Like I Finally Got a Small Win. I met some cool dude last week that invited me to go to the FC Magdeburg match tomorrow with him and his buddies. Earlier this week he canceled due to a project. But, tonight I got a text saying the plans were back on. So I'm headed to a soccer match tomorrow and will hopefully make a few new friends while having some fun in the process. Woot.
