I didnt get a chance to go to my 8am class today because I had to go with my parents to see the lawyer that’s helping house with moving to this new house. I didnt really mind missing the class since: 1) it’s an 8 am class.. I dont want to wake up at 5:30 for that 2) the class is so damn boring 3) the prof really sucks and I cant understand his accent sometimes. So that’s it. I also missed my math tutorial and another computer class which I didnt mind so much. I got to school at 12 pm to attend this co-op information session. For those who dont know what it is, its basically a part of my program where students work as an intern for their field. The thing that worries me is the GPA part. The requirement to go is you need to have a 3.0 GPA by the end of this Fall. I had that GPA last year in my first year and I dont know if I can pull it off this year… I’m really worried about that. Going to university or any type of school does not guarantee that you’ll get a job in your field. That is one of my fears. So going to co-op and having a job in my field while in school is a great opportunity for me. But if my marks are shitty then I’m screwed. :sad: IBM is apparently one of the employers for the co-op program. There’s CIBC (Canadian Bank) and Siemens (phone company) was one of them. I dont have to work in some big shot company since alot of my peers will want to go for that. I dont want alot of competition. If I get accepted by a company, I would be okay with that. :smile: Speaking of work, tomorrow is one of my last few days for Blue Jays. Sunday is the last day. I hope everything goes well and I find a new job right away. I hate being jobless. It makes me feel so.. useless. Having a job is like my safety net…

That’s about it for now. Have to eat dinner.
