I had an interview on Saturday up in Chicago, and I think it went really well. It's for an unpaid position, but if I get it it'll look amazing on my resume, open up a lot of doors, and allow me to become actively involved in this year's election campaign near the upper echelons of it's organization.

i.e. - beyond anything I could've dreamed for just a week or two ago.

I'm literally pumped over the prospect of getting the internship, as it means that I'll be able to live up in Chicago up until election day. I've got relatives up here that I could crash with for minimal rent, so I'll probably take advantage of that. It'd also put me in closer contact with a bunch of friends from school (though sadly also much closer to my ex-, sigh...), allow me to go to Cubs games (and Blackhawks games in October and November), let me visit the major sites like Shedd, and let me be at least somewhat on my own from my parents yet again. Especially in the girl department, I'd at least be living with people that, while probably not too appreciative over the idea of me bringing women "home," wouldn't really care if I crashed elsewhere for a night or two.

With all of this in mind, I'm trying to not think this too far ahead, which has sadly been a fairly regular problem of mine. I really want the job and I do think that I nailed the interview, but I'm still afraid that I'm setting myself up too high only to fall down should I not get the job.

God, I hope I get the job.... I honestly will be pretty damn depressed if I don't get it.... oh well, I'll hear one way or another sometime this week (probably), so I'll be spending all my waking hours just waiting by my cell and periodically checking my email account until I hear the news.

Wish me luck....
