  4. COMPS TOMORROW... Like you know just before the top of the roller coaster when you start wondering if this will be as much fun as it is terrifying, or if you might just actually die in the next few minutes? ROFL Yeah, it will probably be alright... but there is a small chance I'll die ;-)

  8. So one year into my program (two left to go)... already landed an interview for a policy analyst position (making double what I make now), and nailed the interview.
