Have you ever...?

Have you ever had a moment that you knew was absolutely life-changing? I get that sometimes with people, where I realize, "Oh, this is the point where I realize I will not be friends with that person." Before that moment, I thought we might be Besties, but now I know it was never to be.*

I had a moment like that this past week during internship interviews. Going into the interview, there was a chance I would have ended up there, but during the interview there was a point where I realized it just wasn't going to happen. I considered just calling it a day, picking myself up, and ending the horror show (okay, it was more like an uncomfortable dinner with acquaintances), but I just kept going. Because everyone hates a quitter. And, also, I couldn't think of anything more clever to say than "Alder, OUT!" And there were no tables to flip over. You know, mature stuff.

I can't say more about it since I haven't matched yet, though you can look forward to all sorts of Tales of Awkwardness in the future if I do (though if I don't, then forget about it because I'm going to be way too depressed). No matter what, though, you can expect upcoming pictures from my Internship Adventures. My interview schedule has taken me literally across the country, so we turned it into a thing that includes temple #45.




*It happens the other way, too, where I have a moment where I realize that I have just found a friend soulmate. But those are, sadly, less frequent.
