I have another interview!  The one on tuesday in Fargo went well.  It could have gone better, there are some things I wish I had talked about more in depth.  Most of the interview was them telling me about the position and their company, possibly to make sure I would be a good fit by my reaction.

While I was in Fargo I got to visit my sister.  She took me out to eat (in the dinning center) and I got to catch up with her and meet her roommates.  It was alot of fun, probably the highlight of my week.  While I was in Fargo I also ordered my bridesmaid dress from davids bridal.  The dress was really cute and I am really pleased with the choice becca made!  It is strappless with fold parts on the bust, foldy parts around the waist and then a full bottom that goes down to just above the knee.  Hard to describe, but very cute.  I am glad my Minnesota tax refund just got deposited in my bank account otherwise I wouldn't have had the money, haha.  Writing out that check made me realize more how expensive it is to be a bridesmaid, because the dress was more expensive than my prom dress.  But those things are so expensive no matter what, there isn't much anyone can do.

More about my next interview.  On Monday Pat's dad gave my resume to someone he knows that works at a consulting firm in Willmar.  The woman knew I was interested in working in Minneapolis, so she sent my resume to that office.  They called me back that day!  Both that office and the willmar office are interested in me, so they are going to do a combined interview in willmar.  The minneapolis office guy is driving to willmar.  This seems like a really promising venture.  They already know that I am stuck trying to find a job next to Pat, because Pat's dad let them know how he knew me. 

When I was on the phone with the woman she relayed all the very nice things Pat's dad said about me personally, and it makes me feel pretty good.  Even though I don't talk much around Pat's parents, they must like me, otherwise Pat's dad would say, "Tough luck Lisa, prospects are low.  You will have to get a job in new mexico or something, very far from Pat."  It makes me feel accepted that they are looking out for me. They even told Pat about a friend of theirs who owns a duplex near the U of M that is availiable for rent. 

I haven't updated in a LONG time.  I don't really know what to say.

* Pat is interviewing at Harvard tomorrow.  I am really excited for him, but I would feel happier if I could get my own life in order.  I have been looking for jobs online for days straight, and there isn't much out there.  I can't find any jobs in Minneapolis, one in Des Moines, and one in Sioux Falls.  I would feel more comfortable with myself if I was making money, but I don't want to get a job in a place that I have no intentions of staying.  I don't want to have a long distance relationship for 4 years.  Not that 3.5 hours away is really that long distance, but it would just be a pain.  I have gotten too use to making dinner with Pat almost every evening.  Of course Pat says to just wait it out and keep looking in Minneapolis, but he is obviously thinking of himself too.

*Two of my good friends got engaged over break.  Congrats Lindsey and Becca!  I even get to be a bridesmaid in Becca's wedding, which is very exciting! 

*My grandma died over break.  It was really for the best, because her mind was gone long ago.  I still miss what she use to be though.  Ever since I was about two I have lived in the same town as my grandma, and when she still had her mind, we visited her alot.  It is hard to relize that that woman is gone.

* I am broke as a joke.  I guess it isn't that bad, I have enough for the next two months, maybe.  But, combined with my job search issues, it stresses me out.  I want to start making money as soon as I graduate!  I have plans for that money!  I need a new computer, car repairs, health insurance, and a few other even bigger items (how much are weddings these days?)!  ....I shouldn't jump the gun like that, but I am antzy.  Pat knows this.  Too bad he is broke too.  It's another topic completely.  When do med school loans go through, haha?
