I got on a plane headed for DC at 3:05 yesterday. Fell asleep before takeoff and woke up when my head banged against the window upon landing.

Why do I always get shafted so badly every time I take a flight? Once again, to get to my gate, I had to walk all the way down to the very, very end of the terminal. Usually, this is understandable, because the planes that fly the 54,000 miles from Detroit to Beijing or whereever are pretty big and they can only fit at the end of the terminal. But this was a 66-minute flight. I had seat 18F. I was last row, window seat. I don't even know why I got F, as there were only two seats on each side of the aisle.

Hm. Finals are next week.

Next flight I didn't manage to stay asleep the whole flight. Unfortunately, I did sleep through the meal.

I arrived in Seattle a little before 8 (local), got to the hotel at 9, and got settled. Then I went out to eat, and got to some Korean place at 9:58. They close at 10. So I kept driving around and it seemed that every place closed at 10. Finally, I drove into one last plaza-type-place and decided that was the last one. It was fast food after that.

As I pulled into the parking lot, I noticed some Indian restaurant and a Viet noodle place. Murphy decided to close the Viet noodle place at 10... just like everywhere else I wanted to go. So I thought, great, I'm going to have to eat Indian food and fail my interviews tomorrow due to smelling like fresh curry. Turns out they were closed at 10 as well. As my great luck would have it, there was... an Indian pizza place there? What on earth? Anyways, I got some spicy chicken thing and it tasted kind of like the kind from The Loop except you can actually taste the spiciness.

That was the most unfulfilling dinner ever. I get reimbursed up to $40 for dinner and I spent it on a crappy pizza. I'm so making up for this tomorrow by eating the most extravagant meal ever. (That means getting a Coke instead of water.)

I was so hungry when I got the pizza that I stuffed it in my mouth and didn't notice that it burned the roof of my mouth until an hour later. Isn't that ironic? Of all places to go when I'm starving, I end up getting fed at some Indian place. Ok ok sorry, that was tasteless. (The joke, not the food.)

So tomorrow is my interview, which actually consists of 3-5 interviews about an hour each. So um... I don't actually know where to go, and they're in 12 hours...

11:40PM

I went to the basement to print out my Chinese homework, and I ran into Jerry. He was working on a paper. When I looked at his screen, the first thing I saw was a source citation: "Yuk and Zhang (1997)." I died.

I'll write you an update in two days, while I'm on the plane back from Microsoft. I'm sure I'll have lots to say about my interview failures.

5:27AM
