Wow, I can't believe you were working so late. See, the old me did the same thing-- I never drew boundaries between work and home, and I was sort of just continually working. But this leads to a sad, less productive Hannah. So, while it is good to be committed to your job, and so super excited about it (yay for being happy at work!), I still think you need to be careful about the number of hours you spend working.

I am majorly impressed by how much you like your job. Maybe I should switch to a startup? Oh wait, startups only like girls who have skills...

it's a learning process... yes, I work late, but it's hard to draw the line between work and fun because reading blogs, for example, could be related to my job. but I also do it because it's interesting.

working for a startup is probably the closest thing in the business world to a student group like RSUS. it's a small group of people, you work together very closely, and you have more control over what goes on. which also means that if you have that kind of experience, you are more prepared to do this kind of job.

I find I'm acting somewhat similar to the way I was with RSUS - this thing kind of consumes me and I think about it all the time. OK, maybe not all the time, but a lot of the time. It's tough, because I'm doing them partly for fun and partly for the work experience. I guess the bonus now is that I'm actually getting paid to do this;)
