A brief overview in the life of Ingrid, do not take notes, there will not be a test after
Oh, Ivan. ~swoon~ Since bell asked me to update, I figured I'd throw the swoon in, so she can make the obligatory tease-Ingrid-about-Ivan comments. Finished my last exam yesterday, and also made an appointment to speak with a course advisor about the whole mess that is my degree, and the process of applying to law school. Still to do - clean apartment, make appointment with dentist, find a goddamn job. The first is tedious, the second can probably be done tomorrow if I go out, and the third remains elusive. I've applied for three job postings in the last week, and haven't even been called for an interview. One was for a tour guide, one for a retail job in a bakery, and one was for the position of part time administrative assistant. Two of these were jobs I would have actually been qualified to do, as well as have had some experience doing similar things. If I can't get jobs in fields that I have some familiarity with, how can I get any job at all? I'm really starting to dread the job hunt, and I just want to get it over with. I want to find a job -now-, as soon as possible, so I can just work throughout the summer and not worry. With the economy the way it is, I think it's very unlikely I'll be getting a job anywhere this summer unless some freak bit of luck strikes. It's like playing the lottery, and it's utterly discouraging. On the other hand, my parents are talking about going to Ontario and Stratford with the brother creature, which makes me feel a good deal less guilty about the financial strain my education is presumably putting on them when I can't cover the costs myself. If they can go and buy very expensive tickets to see plays in Stratford, I shouldn't be bloody well wracked with guilt over having trouble finding a job. I am jealous that Woody's going to get to see more plays, though. I wonder if I'll ever get to go to Stratford again. Since my period recently struck, I haven't been actively persuing the job problem (which I'm sure would annoy my mother). If things run their course, the cramps won't be too bad tomorrow, and I can do the planned 'Walk to every damn business nearby and see if I can apply for a job'. If not, I'll probably just stay in and try to tidy, or continue my hate-filled attempt to KILL GODDAMN FLUX SEYMOUR. Have now gone against that bastard five times, and died each time. I was so very very close, this time, he only had a couple thousand HP left, but immediately after casting Total Annhilation for the second or third time, he cast Flare on Auron before I had a chance to cure him with an X-Potion. Stupid, stupid Seymour. No one likes you. The current aggravation of the game obviously makes things a bit less fun. But there's also wholesome reading of A Civil Campaign and old Gordon Korman books. I'm seriously considering buying myself a new copy of I Want To Go Home if I get a job. I'd feel less guilty about needlessly spending money on one of my favourite childhood books, then. Because, dammit, Rudy Miller. He rocked so hard. When I was ten I wanted to be Rudy Miller. He was just so -cool- about everything. There's also copies of the Bruno and Boots books I don't have which is tempting . . . but the new covers are ugly, man. We'll see what happens on the money (and used bookstore) front. Nothing else to report . . . Oh, except I got 85% on a paper where I used the word 'zombie' to describe high school students, and was scolded in the comments for my commonplace book for not making it more artistic (when I drew during class . . . oops). Since all else is the status quo, Almighty Ingrid, Signing Off 0 Snide remarks Post a Comment |
