Expecting Company

My coordinator has informed me that another intern is flying back from his assignment in southern Japan, to come and stay with me here in Tokyo until his flight home. The intern is a friend I made when I first came to Japan, a fellow Salt Lake citizen. Should be fun to have a roommate again.

One week after my intern friend moves in, some other friends from Salt Lake will be arriving in Tokyo, and one of them will be staying with me as well. Having one person in my tiny apartment is crowded enough as is. Three will be chaos! But fun. It'll be like having a slumber party, inside a refrigerator box.

In the meantime, I've been doing interviews with a company in California, who might hire me for an internship this winter. Done three interviews in total now. First one was excellent. Second one was great. The third one I bombed, terribly, and it was the most important one, too! May have blown my chances. I'm hoping the other two interviewers will intervene with the third to convince him that I'm still a worthy candidate for the job.

Good Interviewer #1: "He's really a good guy. Knows his stuff."

Bad Interviewer: "You sure? He didn't do so well with the questions I asked him."

Good Interviewer #2: "You must not have asked him the right questions, then."

I was so close. *sob*

In other news, I've been working on a large writing project in my spare time. I've been keeping it hush-hush, because I want to surprise my coordinator with it. After I turn that in this week, I'm going to switch over to another large writing project I've had in mind, which is a novel-length piece of fiction. Been writing chapter outlines in my spare time for a story that's been circling in my head for several years now. I've finally got the idea settled. Now to do my research and finish planning.
