Happy birthday! Helping people out + eating a bunch of food yer mama cooked for you seems like the best way to celebrate adulthood :-)

today is the day i become somewhat adult-like.
today i move out of my parents house for good (for the second time, heh). this time it is a real house though! not just some shitty apartment.
and i actually have a job to support such a move (unlike last time). oh i am so grown-up!

We're all getting so old!
I was going to go back and edit my last post but never mind. It's my birthday, and I'll double-post if I want to.
It was funny in the PGCE class because everyone there is already a teacher at the college on one of the various campuses, and in the second group I was with there were two sports teachers from my campus who kept being distracted and texting and stuff, and didn't take kindly to being told to concentrate and put their phones away! The other woman found it very funny, she thinks I should go into teaching (I shouldn't).
I felt very loved today, it was really nice. Last year my birthday was absolutely shit, really really crappy (I was crying by eleven am) so anything would have been an improvement really but today was wonderful. All my friends gave me cards and we had a party with cake and cookies and it was just generally really nice and friendly. And I had a nice chat with a friend who teaches the disabled students life skills, and is absolutely lovely and supportive and who suggested she goes to see my head of school to talk about getting me extra help with my exams. So generally a lovely, cossetted day with the people I love :-)

Dearest Bloggles,
So I have finally got my little life plan (or next few years plan) all sorted out, but it is making me completely miserable because I know I can't do it yet! Basically in 6 months I am going to America and England for a month, and when I get back I am going to apply for publishing/advertising jobs in Sydney, move there and most likely live with lunchy. I honestly cannot wait to have a real job, and real hours, and be a normal person in a big city. This is after years of terror at the thought of these things.
Unfortunately, I hate my current job so much, and I keep looking at jobs in Sydney now, even though I know I can't realistically apply for them until after I get back from overseas because I will not be able to afford to move to Sydney and save money for travel, and I consider it bad form to be in a job for 6 months then be all LOLS SEE YOU IN A MONTH LOLS. So every day I get up for work at 4:30am, and go and perform my menial tasks, and deal with the fucking stupid customers, stack shelves, do orders, lift heavy things and generally feel completely miserable about the fact that I am trapped in the hell hole of despair and bitterness that is my job!
GOD WHY WONT TIME JUST PASS QUICKER.
Also fucking Lux Interior from The Cramps died :(

hey blog thread.
i went to a career fair today and it was sort of stupid for the following two reasons -
- everything is electronic now, every single hiring representative i spoke to told me to go to their website and wouldn't even glance at my resume and
- the shuttle bus system they had going to and from guelph was a completely disorganized mess. they were supposed to have buses running every 30 minutes and instead they just sort of showed up whenever they felt like it, usually more along the lines of every 60-80 minutes. furthermore, the buses were not nearly large enough to accomodate all the students waiting for them. i was dressed formally and thus completely unprepared to stand outside in the freezing cold (-28 C!!!) for two hours which is what i ended up doing. the bus i finally ended up on was full too but i made it on by completely losing it and screaming like a maniac at the bus driver. i don't really scream at people ever. i'm not proud of this and i know it wasn't his fault but i was literally freezing to death and in complete agony and just couldn't function on any other level other than pure survival instinct. all day i've felt like a really lousy person as a result of this. i also ended up missing a really important cfru programming committee meeting as a result of this and i think i might have been kicked off as a result. what a ridiculous fucking mess.
on the plus side, i had a very nice long talk with a mountie and it's left me kind of seriously wondering if maybe i should look for a job in policing... but this might only be a result of the fact that i am sort of obsessed with the wire. i don't really know! i don't know anything.
