So for the past week I've been studying like mad for my math 415 class. This is supposed to be the most difficult math class for engineers, so I've really been wanting to well. Like a lot of my engineering classes, there aren't a lot of girls in my class. For some reason, this has really made me motivated to work harder and do better in class. I guess the fact that there are so few females in engineering gives me more drive to do well just to prove to everyone else, as well as myself, that I'm capable of being just as good if not better than them. I took the midterm and felt really great. Fingers crossed I got an A...because if I didn't I might flip out because I honestly know I did really well on this midterm.

Friday was also my first real interview for a company called Belden. They're a wire and wireless information transfer company. I had gone to the engineering job fair last week and talked to one of the representatives at the booth earlier and dropped off my resume. I didn't really expect any calls or any form of contact from any of the companies I had talked to, mainly because the whole event was just so hectic and full of people swarming in every direction. Either way, I was thrilled that they were interested in seeing if I wanted to be a part of their internship program. The interview was a little bit nerve wracking, especially the days leading up to it, but it went pretty much as well as I thought it would -- not the greatest, but not too bad either. An alright start for my first real interview. We'll see if they want to hire me within these next few weeks...
