job hunting

I am off for two days, so figured I should at least start on my list of things I'd like to do with my life. So that's what I've been doing this afternoon. Well, that and arguing with my internet connection... In my catch-all notebook, I started several pages. They are: "what I like to do" "I'm good at..." "if I could do anything I would be..." "college athletics" "what I would need to do if I could do anything" None of the pages are very full. Mom asked if I was doing this for a class. It's not. But I like to make lists. It helps me pull my thoughts together. I think I'm going to add a page for "jobs I'd like to have", but so far I don't think there's anything to put on that page! I'll get there. Eventually. Work this week has been normal, if that's even a concept anymore...! I had my final post-op visit today. I love talking to the P.A.s rather than the surgeon. They are...

let's see...

...Thursday was that campus visit. What a frustrating waste of my morning! The whole things was geared towards high school seniors and not transfer students like myself. Therefore, the tour was way more about res. life and campus activities than the academics. The good part was that I talked to the assistant director of admissions for about 2 seconds and she pointed me in a somewhat different direction, one that I haven't had a chance to check out yet. After working all afternoon, I had dinner with James. I'm so glad he's back in town, if only briefly. It was definitely good to talk shop and update him on the boys. He laughed at me and gave me his perspective on both guy friend and R. Somewhat helpful maybe??? ...Friday night was hockey. Hung out with R. Briefly. I had made eye contact with Ang and was mouthing "that's him" and he caught us mid-convo. He wanted to know what we were saying about him and was like "or am I not allowed to know?!" I said ...

wild & wacky wednesday

So tomorrow, I have a "campus visit" at the local university. I've decided that boys are silly and a waste of my time and that I would be much better off not worrying about them and finishing my degree. I informed bossman that I was doing this and he said, "we need to have a talk about the rest of your life before you go off and do something like that". 7.5 hours later, I'm still not sure when exactly we are going to have this little chat. For what it's worth, my 6-month review is now 3 weeks overdue... I've discovered a new band called mindFIELD . They are an electronic/industrial band from Boston. I actually discovered them on myspace through a dj friend. Speaking of music, here's my current car rotation: 1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles 2. Living in Oblivion, The 80s Greatest Hits Volume 2 3. Lost & Gone Forever, Guster 4. The Woman in Me, Shania Twain 5. The Best of Simon & Garfunkle 6. Shine: The Hits, Newsbo...

why?

1) Why do boys act interested and say they'll call and then not?! 2) Why do they then show up with another girl when they said they'd see you?! 3) Why do I keep setting my expectations so high?! mood: ANGRY

i'm convinced nobody reads this blog

My friend Josh informed me that Feb. 14 is "Single Awareness Day". Another friend, when I shared this information with him, dubbed it "Single Awareness Week ." I had to agree. After all... I'm the one who mailed valentine's to my single friends! :) Seriously, I worked all day and went to prayer meeting in the evening, so I didn't even really think about it being any different from any other Tuesday. I did, however, eat WAY too much sugar! lol Last night, I went on a bus trip to a "home" game that was much closer to the away team's town than to "home." Logistics! Anyways, the game was, well, not good. They got breakaways. Our goalie got blamed - but there were no d-men in front of him, so it wasn't totally his fault! On the way bus on the way back, the somewhat attractive male sitting behind me became really friendly and ended up asking for my number. Made a crappy game seem not to bad. HOWEVER... I know absolutely nothing abou...

T's been in my brain this weekend...make it stop!!! Valentine's Day is Tuesday. Made my first line of cards and mailed them all out. I did take pictures, so perhaps I can post them...if I ever get them on my computer! I hope the people I mailed them to like and appreciate them. They were a lot of work! But I enjoyed every minute of each one, so that's a good start for me! :) Did I mention that I'll be single for Valentine's Day? However - wait...this isn't related to that! - I found my engagement ring at Birks . Can't remember the price, but it was in Canadian so it must be cheap...! lol But since there is absolutely no one on the horizon, I may have to buy it for myself and wear it on my right hand. Yeah, right. Not on this paycheck! Speaking of paychecks... I don't know where my last hockey one is.... I'm currently on a 5-day weekend. I had originally asked for Fri-Mon off for a possible hockey trip with Ang. We didn't talk for a ...

wasting time

I have so many things I want to post about, but don't really feel like posting. :( I have Friday - Tuesday off and would love to go somewhere, but I've been checking flights and can't really seem to find anything that I want to spend the money on to go to. (did that make ANY sense?!) So in the process of looking for a quick trip - perhaps somewhere I've never been to?!! - I fell onto this site where you can put in your birthday and click either UK or US and find out what song was number 1 the day you were born. It's neat. My US song is: (Hey Won’t You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song - B. J. Thomas and my UK song is: Bye Bye Baby - The Bay City Rollers. I have to say that I don't know either song, although I have heard of The Bay City Rollers. And now, I really need to get off the computer and finish up those valentines I've been working on so I can get them in the mail. Ta ta for now! :)
