<p>Well, about that research position I didn’t get (#63)… I don’t really know exactly why I’m saying this here, but I did a bit of digging into the situation, and it’s pretty blatantly obvious that I was discriminated against because of my gender and/or the fact that I have a hispanic last name. I’m going to stand up for myself on this, but the guy is going to be my professor next year for physics as well.</p>
<p>I’m really having a bad day. 
</p>
<p>And I still don’t know why I’m posting this to a bunch of strangers. :|</p>
<p>I just wish the guy would have looked at my mind and not made a judgment on race or gender. He’s in Europe now, however. I went to confront him today, to ask him why I didn’t even get an INTERVIEW. My friend that did get hired, is, I hate to say, not pushing himself as hard as he could. I’m also ahead of him in more than one subject, so it’s not like we were really equal applicants. I was going to use the money to pay for my classes at the university next year, too, and now I won’t be making that much since I’m only going to have one job this summer. </p>
<p>So yeah. There’s some of my personal story, I don’t know why I kept going with talking about the situation, but I did and I’m going to post it and see if any of you say something in response. :|</p>
