Despite the way things were going last night, today hasn't been too bad. I had a meeting with my Fisheries Biology professor to discuss the application process to grad school. It went very well. He was extremely helpful, and I know he'll provide a good reference.

After that, I was able to get a most of my study slides put together for my Ichthyology practical next week. And during class I heard my phone vibrating. I took a peek to see who was calling, but I didn't recognize the number. I had a feeling that it could have been Texas Parks and Wildlife calling to set up and interview. At least, that's who I really hoped it was. And guess what? I was right! I have a job interview on December 9th! So now I'm kind of torn. What if I get the job? Should I still apply for grad school? Basically, the kind of job that I want to end up doing is attainable by either going to grad school OR working my way up through the state/federal agencies. Considering the age of my children, I think it would be a better idea for me to start working. But I don't know. Of course, I should probably worry about that after the interview. Just because I have an interview doesn't mean I'll get the job.

And I just finished putting together my study materials, which means I can now go the gym and workout and then go home and see my little girls.

All things considered, it's shaping up to be an ok day.

Congrats on the interview, that is awesome! I'm sure you'll do great. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.

I'm glad your day is ending up better. Leyla crying all night has to be SO frustrating!! I wish I had some good advice for you but of course, I don't. I think the ear plugs are about all you can do.

Glad you got the industrial size box of earplugs!!
And congrats on the interview!!! Any interview is good experience, as it helps you with the next and so on. Just look at it like that, and if you get the job... well that is just icing on the cake.
