How was your day? - Poison - 2014-05-03
I wish I had more to do to occupy my time. Nights like these are unbearable.

Razmos Wrote:Today though we cleared out the entire back yard (which is massive), made a bonfire to get rid of all the wood (my eyes won't stop stinging and I smell like smoke, even after a shower) and continued filling in the skip. and THEN I went to the gym too and worked really hard.
Maybe it's just me, but I like the smell of bonfire smoke on a hoodie or sweater. It usually brings good memories...although I wouldn't want to go for days smelling like it ._.
OT: Drove down to Victoria yesterday and stopped at the H&M there since my city doesn't have one, as well as picked up wool roving for more needle felting projects. Then picked up a friend of Stephen's and brought him up here to spend the weekend with us. Long day of driving but at least it's a pretty drive along the malahat.
How was your day? - Frostilyte - 2014-05-03
Regained a lot of use for muscles on the left side of my torso.
Also able to stay standing and move around for about 20-30 minutes before requiring rest to catch up on breathing.
Progress!
Too bad I'm not currently far enough along in my recovery to have been my friend's date for free comic book day.

Marksman Bryan Wrote:Rejected from all five summer REU programs and all 10 NASA internship positions. I sent a friendly follow up e-mail to every single program, asking how to improve my application/why I was rejected. Every single place said I was way more than qualified, couldn't improve my application, and how it was "very competitive".Sad to hear this btw.
I don't get it. I was looking forward to spending my summer doing awesome physics in california. I went HAM with applications, starting them months in advance, refining and fine-tuning them. I've never wanted to do something so badly, and now I'm stuck with one month left of school and a failed summer plan A and B. I even had a letter of recommendation from someone who previously worked at NASA. Apparently that didn't help me.
I really hope grad school applications don't turn out similar. I have a strong feeling they might, since this was my last summer to do anything productive before I have to apply.

Brah, I go to Cornell, I applied twice as many times as you, I'm a CS major, and I didn't get any internships either.
Let us drink away our sorrows.

Cat died recently. Might make a "C" in advanced molecular biology. Currently existentially shaking my fist at God/The Universe.

The worst is when your professor tells you that you prematurely expended energy because you didn't form the bonds first.

Ouch. How does that happen? :S
Just woke up from a rather uncomfortable nap, cat decided to sleep on top of me and I don't know why but it's the best nap I've taken in forever. I feel so rested.
Hopefully it'll keep me awake the rest of the day that looks like it's going to take forever,

Tax prepare said she had over 100k in business expenses, as a dental hygenist, along with another 60k in deductions regarding medical. Both were false and she received nearly 20k refunds during those years, so we're asking for those back +P/I. Can't say I feel too bad about it since a college student making like 60kish shouldn't be expecting even 10% of that

I wish I even made 6k as a college student
Went to a Manchester Orchestra concert on Saturday with my girlfriend and her friend. It was fucking awesome! Great show.
There was a guy though, at the concert with his girlfriend and he was dancing all over with her, and literally leaning back ontop of my girlfriend and I. I switched places with my girlfriend and stood there and didnt budge when he leaned back. He leaned back more, looked and saw I was a dude, then shouted "Im into it!". Only thought I had was "Im not into it!" :f6:
Overall a great night.

Half yearly results back.
97,91,90,84,74 for Math3U,EnglishAdv,Bsns,Physics,Math4U
Pretty good marks considering the 74 will get scaled up to mid 90's against the rest of the state if I keep it up >:U
Med/optom/ridiculouslyhighrequirement courses now seem closer to grasp *-*
Also my brush pens arrived! Now to just...figure out what I'll use them for; don't want to drain the ink away on noodling around when I still have so much to learn.

I DRANK RED BULL AND HAVE WINGS.
YOURE IN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST
LOVE AND YOUR EGO REST IN PEACE
...THIS WAS A MISTAKE
How was your day? - Razmos - 2014-05-06
Decided that I need to get out there, meet people and get a job.
Finding a job though... it's so annoying. I'm having barely any luck whatsoever. Every job requires like a year of experience, but you can't get experience unless you find a job, but all the jobs you find require experience! it is bullshit.
It's stupid because I do have 2 years experience working at another job, but all the experience required is stupidly specific.
If the government has a such a damn hard on for unemployment, maybe they should tell businesses to be SLIGHTLY less picky.

So there's a good chance that after I graduate next April, that I'll be moving to Victoria.
I'm pretty stoked about that. Victoria is a lot more friendly in terms of walkability, transit, and biking to get to where you wanna go.
Hopefully the place we'll get will be dog-friendly. I'd really like to have a dog that we can take on our hiking adventures with us
