He got me with his instep. like how you kick a soccer ball. He also had a running start, like how you kick a soccer ball. He played soccer.
Welu:
That makes sense.

I bought a Tabasco Slim-Jim for my wife, because she loves them, and I decided to get a low-sodium one for myself, since I need to watch my blood pressure. The only ones available were store brand...
It tasted like a mix between the little meatballs that come in a can of Spaghettios, and dog food. Even my father-in-law, who will eat any cooked dead animal, wouldn't take more than a bite.

Phone interview for the internship went well, though I was not as prepared as I wished I was because I misunderstood the nature of the interview. I didn't think this was going to have the "tell me about your weaknesses" and "tell me about a project you are proud of" questions on it. The man told me to expect a call in the next week to set up an in-person interview, so that is great.
I think I am starting to feel equal to my accomplishments, or that my accomplishments are equal to my position? I am not sure how to explain it. But when I was listening to my answers babble out of my mouth I realized they sounded reasonably impressive. The me from two year ago would have been intimidated by the me of today. That is a good feeling.
Let's hope I hold it together for the real interview too, and then graduate, and then get a job and then get a house and then get 3 baby goats and then grow old and then retire with plenty of money.
Step one, find something to wear to this interview.

Indeed. First impressions are often made within the first 90 seconds...dress the part.

Every interview I've had (and every interview I've conducted, for that matter) has had the old "weakness" and "accomplishment" questions. They're meant to test you and see if you can recognize not just that you have faults, but how you overcame them. Accomplishments can be a measure of your self-worth and your own view of your productivity in the workplace.

One of the most important things interviewers look for is confidence. We're also looking for the knowledge to perform the tasks the job requires, but someone unsure of how to do them isn't going to stand out in our eyes.
