Jill found some papers in the printer on Thursday and asked me if they were mine, they weren't mine or Osaze's, but they looked like homework...they might be Jenn's. Jill warned us about doing "homework" at work even when things are slow because apparently a girl who used to work in customer care got ratted on by someone in the office to Mark (the CEO) and was promptly fired. I suppose I've been pretty bold this summer during our slow periods checking my personal email, applying for jobs while at work, and websurfing (sometimes not for work-related things)...I should tone this down...heh. Although really, I need something to keep me busy...my only real vice is having my gmail open if the computer is on...hrm...blah I'm so bored. Osaze and I predict that things will really pick up in September when all our members return from holiday and still haven't received their cheques yet...oh that will be madness! Guess I'll just have one more month of boredom to force myself through...I should be thankful for the downtime, I'll be craving it when things start picking up again.
I just sent off my references and transcripts to Jeff, not sure when I'll hear back from him...I want this tutoring job badly, and at the same time, I'm scared that perhaps I'm putting too much on my plate...I just wish I knew my schedule for next year, I want to be busy, really busy...but I know I also need to be realistic, travelling to and from home to work/school/etc. is going to be brutal...I feel like I'm catching up on all my sleep now to make up for the sleep deprivation I'll have starting September...I know the only course that will take up a lot of my outside class time will be the second year EFP class, otherwise everything else should be simple textbook, multiple choice exams, and essays...the former will require filming and editing...
Looks like my sister is going to do something nice for me...she's going to buy me my new computer. She said this will cover her half of the phone bill, plus the $120 she still owes me for the stuff she bought using my credit card (because she doesn't have one)...this way I can still afford to pay for school if for whatever reason I am unable to get OSAP. Apparently I'll be getting OSAP this year, but I'm not certain until I can pick up and sign my papers and have money in my accounts...remembering back to last year's mishap, I'm not overly confident about administration as a whole.
My sister will be going to Timmins for a week and a half next month...she's going to be doing research for Tarmo, her thesis prof...the girl seems to be going far in the research field...in fact, I envy her. She says she's enjoying the life of research and is more certain that she wants to become a professor...lol...this is coming from a girl who apparently hates school :P
I've been doing some thinking...sure, I want to be a writer and I still do...I want to write amazing tv shows and possibly some documentaries, but I think I'm beginning to build an interest for the business side of television. This is strange coming from me, since I've always been so opposed to business in general...might even be a practical solution...maybe learning more about the business side of television will bring me closer to being a writer and producer :)
My sister says she'll talk to her friend Omar, apparently I may be able to get on her friend's Internet tv show on enviromental stuff and possibly work for his magazine...speaking of writing, when I spoke to Jeff on Wednesday over the phone, he said that if I was interested he's thinking of putting a newsletter together for his company and wants me to help him write it if it takes off...of course, none of this will happen until it's official...I'm only 50% sure I've got this tutoring gig down...in the meantime, I'll just twiddle my thumbs and wait it out.
I don't need to go in for work on Monday...I keep forgetting to call Doy, I'm a bad friend :( Hmm...I'm hoping that second year is going to mean closer ties with people from RTA...David and Teresa are the only people I've spent time with this summer...funny how Nate and I hung out all through second semester and yet we haven't seen each other once since the summer started...we still have yet to go for falafels. I actually can't wait till December...for the first time in a while, I'm excited about my birthday, I actually WANT to turn 24... |
