Well, Informatics interview went pretty well, but they don't plan on hiring anyone until September or October. I dunno. Not sure that would be perfect either.

I really really really really want to stay here, but at the same time I know I can't find a job as good as the Morningstar one here. They have... an education stipend. And a 401K plan. I feel like I will be laying a good future for myself by starting there, opening up my career options and working at a well-respected company that respects me as well. Apparently this is hard to find. No wonder designers have trouble getting other people to respect their expertise/occupations; I'm not so sure we respect it ourselves.

Going will be so hard, though, and I'm not sure if it's worth it. It will be hard being away from my mom and dad, the dogs. (See Satchie on the back porch begging during dinner?) And I will have to make sure to call and write my grandparents all the time. It's important for me to have a close relationship with them, and it's not exactly instinctive. I also don't really want to / look forward to making new friends. I don't really like making friends, it's hard. And I'm not real sure I'd want my friends to all be people from my job, and so that takes work. ;)

Much of the big stuff is out of my apartment, but there's still a lot of crap left. My mom and dad are kind of freaking. I probably should be, but they're doing it enough for everyone perhaps. Oh well! :P

Want to go see a movie tomorrow.... either Fantastic 4 or The Island. I want to see the Island more but I don't know if my mom will like it. War of the Worlds is probably good too. All good for the big screen. My bad (or at least easy to please) taste in movies allowed me to enjoy Mr. & Mrs. Smith immensely ("You obviously want me dead, and I am less and less concerned for your well-being....") as well as the Last Samurai (finally got to see it). Elektra, however, was too bad even for me. That's pretty bad. I mean, it had its moments. It's just Jennifer Garner I think. Too cutesy. Too many ass-shots. (ie shots that start on her ass. ick.)

Well, on that lovely note! Off to bed!
