That sounds awesome! I hope it goes well. My helpful interview tip: when they lob you a softball question that's designed so you can talk yourself up, for god's sake DON'T GIVE A ONE-WORD RESPONSE. I have no idea why so many folks I interview do this, but it drives me crazy!
Oh man. My issue is knowing when to shut up. I generally try to pace things in my head and determine how much I need to run my mouth before letting them come up for air.
I'm glad my portfolio-building class helped beat some of the "pointing out flaws in one's own work" reflex out of me. If they see the flaw, they'll ask me about it if it bothers them. Otherwise why am I implying I only brought them crappy work to see?
I totally thought of your constant struggle to interview a non-idiot when the posting asked for a cover letter with the e-mail!
