Well I Guess I Need to Post at Least Once....

(As promised Lori, it's a long one)

Well. Finals are over and what can I say, other than the fact that every time I check my email and the message "Bear Scat: EE 2__ final mark" pops up I, well, refuse to check it. I know I'm going to have a nervous breakdown or something. It's never a good thing when you come out of a final exam trying to decide whether to laugh or cry (I did both).
In other news, I registered for summer courses. Both are apparently killer courses too, but if I get a job (which at this point seems highly unlikely) then I think I'll drop one and take the other one in 4th year. It was really funny because I think there was a slight misunderstanding with this. I heard that this company really needed people for data entry and stuff (they have offices in Calgary and here) and got the name of someone who I could contact about it. I assumed he was at the office here (it was the one in Calgary), so I called up a guy who I guess had the same/similar sounding name and I must've sounded like a crazy person because he had no idea what I was talking about. I was referred to another department (where I got the same reaction) and was finally told just to send my resume to HR. Hahaha. Definitely not getting that one.
I really want to get some sort of engineering related job though. Because I realized that most likely next summer will be the last "summer" job I get (that is, if I graduate on time and am not kicked out of engineering or something) and then the next year I'll be entering the "real" world of work. Unless I go into grad studies or something. Which I am actually considering at this point. But I guess for that I'd like need to (almost) double my GPA (especially for the area I want to get into, which is apparently the most popular/"fun"--digital communications)...[nervous laughter]...I really need to start thinking this through a little more carefully...
Anyway for now, I've been focusing on summer reading and have tried (unsuccessfully) to not think about my marks. I got a whole bunch of books from the library (like The Trial by Franz Kafka and Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov--I felt the need to read "classics"--but wouldn't really recommend Lolita as it's a little disturbing) and bought some from Chapters (The Sea by John Banville and a few Agatha Christies, because murder mysteries are always fun).
Yesterday a whole bunch of us went to the Russell Peters show. It was good, but some of the material was really shifty...and the thing is normally I wouldn't care but my parents were also at the show...:S lol...all in all though, it was a really fun night out.
Umm...what else? I've been searching for the perfect pair of sandals (as of yet unsuccessful, but I'll persevere) and am still pursuing the idea of becoming a vegetarian (obviously not a strict one seeing as I ate chicken just last week--but I'm trying, I swear! lol) The way I see it, the only meat I really eat anyway is chicken, and I have an irrational fear/hatred of birds anyway so it doesn't really matter.
Anyway that's about it. I'll update you on the job/grades front later (I'm not holding my breath on either...lol)...anyway see ya later!
