job prospects.

A few weeks ago I had an interview for *the* internship that I want this summer.

I've been going crazy waiting to heare back from them. They said I should know "mid-November" and now mid-November is here. I went for a run this evening and when I returned home I saw that I had a voicemail from a number I didn't recognize. I call my voicemail and I hear "Hi Jen ... this is interviewerchick ... we talked a few weeks ago and ... *heart pounding* ... we are in the process of making our final decisions ... and we need a copy of your transcript".

D'oh!

My grades aren't terrible but they could certainly be better. After first semester last year I was in the middle of my class - right smack in the middle (literally... 83/166!). Second semester I worked my butt off and was on track to pull the GPA up quite a bit when disaster struck and I lost a lot of focus. Considering the hell that we went through during finals last year, I'm happy to have gotten the grades that I did, but they certainly didn't help my GPA. Its not like I was slacking off ... my best friend in the whole world was very sick and potentially not going to make it and we were very very distracted.

I was feeling so well about this job ... but now the whole transcript thing has me all in a flutter.

I called said best friend this afternoon somewhat paniced and she said "umm ... if they made it to the point where they are making their final decisions and they are just now asking for your transcript, there's a very good chance that they liked you so much they didn't care about your grades and they just need to check to make sure that you are not failing". I'm hoping she's right.

*Edited: Why the hell didn't someone tell me that this thing was so riddled with typos as to not make any sense!?
