Day 30 - April 30

I have been out of touch with things since the last two weeks. Not good at all. I haven't been applying, nor have I been speaking with people.  I spoke to an alum from Medallia and then took a nap. I went out and got some dinner and just came back. 

I have to apply to Capital One, whose interview process I hear is quite fast. I can do that and then also connect with the alum at Google next week. If the company I interned for doesn't come back to me next week, I think I'm going to be done with them.  This would be the second time that they treated me this way and I won't be bothered to network with them again. 

I am so tired of networking. I don't want to approach people with the idea of getting a referral. However, all the people I spoke to have been extremely sweet and have volunteered to pass my resume along, which is truly awesome.

Yesterday I went out with some of the alums. One of them was really mean to me, but after some other people joined it was better. I am not in a happy state and the last thing I want to do is meet people, especially those who are mean to me. I think I'm too sensitive. I've been this way since I was young, its so hard for me to not read people and take things they say to heart. Maybe that's why I have trouble making friends and when they say things that insult me, I'm hurt.

I won't dwell on the past now. I have to think and act quickly for the future.
