Well, I got rejected for the UT web journal project. =/ Quite disappointing, cuz I made like the first cut & went in for an interview and everything.

In other news, The engineering school held a job fair (expo) today, and I volunteered to work as a liaison (for a free t-shirt =P). It was pretty boring; it was basically getting the recruiters drinks and then walking around pointlessly for 2 hours. Anyways, I wasn't looking too seriously for a job since I'm only a freshman, but I checked out most of the aerospace companies. Boeing was kinda anal, like "if you're not an upperclassman, don't waste our time." Air Force civilian branch got me interested by saying how there's a high chance of them sending their employees to grad school & paying for them. Raytheon was really nice, and I chatted with one of the recruiters for quite awhile. Lockheed Martin got my attention the most though- they said they're looking for summer interns especially for positions in the Dallas area. And I also chatted with some companies I'd never heard of.

I thought I'd made a pretty good round until I came home and saw the complete list of companies and was like, aww crap, I missed all these good companies!! Like NASA and the JPL. Grrrrrrrr...

*And I finally got my scholarship check from Engineering. With everything totalled together, (and with the Texas Tomorrow Fund working in my favor,) I think I'm making somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 to 3000 a semester coming to UT. Not bad... but I gotta keep up the GPA to keep the dollars rolling in.
