Back in the U.S.A.
September 25, 2009 by nate, under General.
Hello,
I have been back in the States for just over three weeks and life has been very busy.
I moved into my new apartment the day after flying in and on my way back, I was pulled over for speeding. I was driving 68mph in a 55mph zone, or 13mph over. This was my first time being pulled over and the police officer still issued me a ticket. He said he was doing me a favor by giving me a ticket for “failure to follow traffic device” rather than speeding. This way, I would not have any points on my license and it would be a lesser fine. Regardless, the fine was still $109.
Classes started on August 31st and I have been extremely busy. In addition to have my senior finance classes, I have been studying for the LSATs (Law school entrance exam) and applying for jobs. I was able to get an interview with Goldman Sachs, the leader in the finance industry, in NYC.

I have never studied more in my life for an interview than I have with GS. I spoke with a few alumni in regards to what I should expect, study, and practice. I studied every day because I will be competing with Ivy League students with massive connections. Therefor, I need to be able to sell myself flawlessly and without one error.
I had my interview yesterday and everything seemed to go very well. Regardless of what happens, I am satisfied with the interview and I know that I could not have done anything better. I will find out if I am selected to interview in round two sometime this week. The decision is out of my hand and I have played my cards as well as I possibly could.
LSATS
I am continuing to study for the LSATs and my test in next Saturday, the 26th – So I will be studying very hard the next week to prepare.
