Terry's Weekly Email Newsletter; 07 Sep 09


Hi all,

Last week was a busy one at work and at home. My project is coming

due, so I have been working very long hours. Jenn got back from her

road trip on Saturday, having seen Andrew in Long Island and friends

in the Binghamton area. On Sunday, she and Allison went to Darien

Lake, an amusement park, and then that evening the four of us went

out to dinner at a new restaurant located at the Port of Rochester,

where the fast ferry used to dock. It was very nice.

Mike has two more interviews left out of the eleven that he had

scheduled. So far, 4 rejections and no call-backs. He is

discouraged, but he has worked out alternate plans with his advisor

in case nothing this round pans out. He followed up on one of the

rejections, looking for feedback on how he could do better in the

interview or in his studies to be considered for that type of

position, and was told he made the short list and that any other year

he would have received a call-back, but this year there are just

very, very few positions for interns.

Jenn will be leaving for Madrid the day after tomorrow. She's busy

packing and getting all of her things together. Her flight leaves

Rochester at 4:30 pm and then Newark at 10 pm for Madrid. Today we

went to visit with Grace (picture above) - we cooked some sea bass on

the grill, and brought some beets and greens that I had prepared

yesterday.

Jim and Nancy have made their arrangements for visiting over New

Year's - they'll be getting in the afternoon of 30 December and

leaving the afternoon of 2 January - I hope that others are able to

visit as well! Please let us know your plans!

That's about it - hope everyone is well.

Kind regards,

Terry
