Journal Com2Kid's Journal: Here is hoping I get it! 1

Alright, so the interview went... well I was not at the top of my game. Who ever is during an interview though? Stress makes thinking go slower....

I also am a bit slow on the white board. I can explain things quickly, but actually writing them down while explaining them is more than half as slow.

I am tired now, all in all a very busy day.

Everybody I met was really nice of course. Some cool questions, and some questions that I already knew the answers too! Studying does pay off. :) I was asked the Monty Hall problem, and to my immense embarrassment, could not argue both sides of it. :`( I guess it has been too many months since I last went over it.

When I am more awake, I will do a full write up.

I've never been canoeing before, but I imagine there must be just a few simple heuristics you have to remember... Yes, don't fall out, and don't hit rocks.
