I have an Oz obsession. I love the HBO show so much that I decided to finally buy the last season today. A few days ago it was $47+ in Futureshop/Bestbuy. When I saw that they had it on sale again for $21.99, I decided to buy it before Futureshop decides to change the price on me again. When I checked it out to the cashier, the male cashier looked at me kinda funny. I said ‘what?’. I thought he looked at me because Oz is not exactly rated G tv show. It has naked men, violence, sex and drugs. So what would a woman like me doing buying/watching a show like this? But no. That was not the reason why he looked at me funny. He said that when he scanned the Season 6 dvd, the screen prompted a message stating that if the buyer appears to look under 25, they have to ask for an ID to show that the buyer is over 18 years of age since the DVD is rated R. I was a little surprised. I haven’t been carded for a long time. The only time I was carded was when I looked young to buy a drink. Ever since then I haven’t been carded for years! I wasn’t offended or anything. I just found it funny how they would check ID on people who purchase rated R DVDs. I don’t know if it’s because I bought Oz or what. But apparently they card people on games that are I guess deemed too violent for kids. But this isn’t the first time I had bought an Oz dvd. In fact I already have seasons 1 through 5 and none of them have carded me in the past. Four out of the five was from Futureshop. Maybe they just didn’t bother… I’m not too sure..

Current Mood: Confused

With the amount of interviews I have this week and the amount of snow we’ve had so far (there’s more snow coming), it’s been a long, tiring week and it’s not even Friday yet. I am looking forward to the “Spring break” of doing work and maybe doing nothing. I literally miss sleeping in. Even my days off from school is no longer a day off because I force myself to come in to work and do a 8 hour shift. Also even if I don’t have this 8 hour shift, I have a lab due on this day “off”. I guess there goes my study day. I do that I might spend my Thursday next week in the library studying for the Friday midterm. I would rather do that than work. I guess there are down and up sides to it. If I work, I get paid (not much but it’s money). If I study, I’m not studying something that’s even interesting. Studying algorithms is not my idea of Thursday mornings. Meh. It’s only the second month of the second semester and I’m already looking forward to the end of the semester. So far I’ve only had 1 midterm which was my philosophy class and I’m so glad I did ok. I didn’t get my marks yet but I at least know that I probably got at least a B on it. :embarass: So that’s that. Basically the only job that I wanted for this summer internship has most likely been taken already. The company already had interviews and they didnt contact me. I have not heard from them. That really upset me. I wanted to go back to work there so badly. I thought that my previous experience of working there would get me “brownie” points but I guess not. I guess my misspell of “unoficial” screwed me over. Hey one company missed it so I thought it would be the same for this one. Ah well… I’m not saying I wont be applying there again because I will. That company is so fit for me. I can see myself being there doing the whole 40 hour weekly shifts and feeling all proud that I made it this far… Meh, is it too early to talk about that work stuff even when I’m not even close to graduating university yet? I didnt know what I planned on doing until I got to working there. I knew what career I wanted but I didnt know where.. until I worked there..

I had another interview today from ‘the’ company. I wont mention where only because it’s a rather large company. It went well. Nervous as usual. Oh well. I really hate behavioural type of questions though. The interviewer said that I’ll be hearing back from them on the 20th which I hope is true. I really hate waiting for statuses. If I didnt get the job, you should tell me asap so that I dont have to worry if I got the job or not. I hate the wait and contemplating if I got it. :embarass:

It really doesnt worry me (yet) that I havent found a job. I know 2 people that I’ve already had offers (and accepted them) but oh well. I guess it’ll hit me once April starts and most of my friends have jobs except for me. I really need some money though. Not from a part-time job but a full-time job in the summer… :irked:

Current Mood: Okay

Ah just when I thought this year’s V day could be better, I was mistaken. It was just like my any other V day. Boring and depressing. Ah well… I did buy some chocolates that went on sale the day after the V day. I promised myself that I would not over eat them because I’ve been trying to lose weight ever since the New Year. That’s so typical.. I know.. But I dont want to get all depressed because I gained so much weight already.

So next week, I have a week off from school. I dont have much planned. It’s probably going to be mostly snowing since the snow never seems to end in Toronto. We have snow for a day or two then it stops then a week later theres a new batch of snow. Frankly, I hate the winter. The snow just ruins my day and it’s too depressing. I’m definitely ready for the spring and baseball season. :D

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.

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..
