December has been a busy month for interviews. Here's a sketch of my life for the last week:
Wednesday: 10 hour interview day in Minnesota, then a 10 hour drive to Michigan. 2hrs sleep.
Thursday: 8 hour interview day in Michigan, then an 8 hour drive to Wisconsin. 4hrs sleep.
Friday: 10 hour interview day in Wisconsin, then a 7 hour drive to Indiana. 3hrs sleep.
Saturday: 6 hour interview day in Indiana, then a 9 hour drive to Minnesota. 6hrs sleep.
Sunday: 12 hours of flights and layovers to get to San Francisco. 4hrs sleep.
Monday: 9 hour interview day in San Francisco, then 5 hours to get to Loma Linda. 6hrs sleep.
Tuesday: 9 hour interview day in Loma Linda, then 3 hours battling traffic to get to Los Angeles.
Wednesday: 7 hour interview day in Los Angeles, and hopefully an awesome night of sleep tonight before I head to Iowa tomorrow then Arizona the next day.
What do I remember from any of that travel odyssey? Only this:
Somewhere along I-90 in Chicago, there's a midnight toll booth operator with a black bouffant, a golden voice, and a steely gaze. I didn't have my camera with me, but I swear this recreation with PhotoShop is extremely true-to-life!
Elvis lives, and apparently the economy has been rough on him.
man, I'm tired just reading that. How long will you be in az?
ReplyDeleteCome on Sarah, couldn't you have geographically scheduled these a bit better? ;)
ReplyDeleteI tried! I really tried! The best I could do was to get the midwest driving ones back-to-back and the three californias in a row. Beyond that, it's like the residency programs have some sort of conspiracy to make the interview schedule as inconvenient as possible in order to ensure adequate suffering. ;-)
ReplyDelete...besides, if I had scheduled it any differently, I wouldn't have gotten to see the King.
