Argh crappy day again…

I would think that after a week of having a crappy week I would get a break by at least starting off my week right. (did that make any sense?) But no I didnt. Monday was so crappy. I started off with an interview that I know I didnt get. The only thing that I hope is that my php script, which I finished in 10 minutes instead of 30, can save me and see them that I do know my PHP and that I was just nervous in the interview, which happens all the time when I have one. I’ve had so many interviews already and my nervousness never seems to go away. :irked: They offered the online test on a Mac notebook. :sowhat: I was not impressed because I dont know how to use Macs. The only time I ever used one was probably 4 years ago. I was bored and wanted to try it out. I felt real stupid using it though because it doesnt have the same keyboard as regular pc. During the beginning of the test, I thought I was pressing cntrl+c when it actually was fn+c. :no: Then when I stood up to call the interviewer, I tripped on the cord and almost dropped the notebook. Talk about bad luck… :ashamed: That’s gotta be one of the most memorable interviews I have ever had. To add to the horrible day, I just found out that I got 50% in one of my midterms… I didnt think I did that bad. My expectation was 70%.. :banghead: Class average was 27/30… This definitely gives me a reason to do really well on the 2nd midterm. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day..

Love is having a shared identity…

So I landed myself another interview this Monday with a certain University (no not my university, I already attend and work there). One thing that surprised me is the 30 minute PHP online test that goes along with it. I’m not exactly sure what kind of test it is whether it’s multiple choice or write a PHP script for 30 minutes. Either way I have to “study” the language and practice programming on Sunday. This obviously ruins the entire plan of studying my midterm on Sunday but I really do not have any choice. Because of this interview I also have to skip 2 hours of Philosophy. I dont mind being away for 1 class but this is 2 hours I’m going to miss. Plus the professor takes up attendance that is worth 10%. :no: I guess I wont be getting a perfect (and easy) 10%.

Random: Love is having a shared identity with someone else. If we are to have this shared identity, then we are no longer an independent being. Therefore we are no longer autonomous. Humans cannot be happy if they lose their freedom.. Therefore love is destructive… :? That’s what I’m learning in philosophy… It’s interesting to learn but articles are sometimes hard to comprehend.
