Alright, blog has been prettified!
I'm kind of in a weird mood, have been in it all day. I'm waiting to hear back from jobs, and one in particular, as well as from a potential landlord. Yes, Steve and I found a place that we loved, a 3rd floor of a huge house in Wolseley. Hopefully the only news I hear this week is GOOD.
Either way, I've picked up some overtime hours tomorrow at current job. The Eagles concert is tomorrow and as of 6:30pm tonight, about half of the floor had been labelled, with no volunteers expected to show up tomorrow to help. I likely ruined the pair of shoes I was wearing today, as it was POURING, but smartened up and bought rubber boots, my first pair since elementary school. I like the feeling of being dry, when the world around you is wet. That reminds me: I have to find and pack my 2 ponchos for tomorrow!
This week has somehow turned into a super busy time period...extra hours tomorrow, band practice Wednesday, Goldeyes game for mom's birthday/father's day on Friday, gigantic grad party/karaoke excursion on Saturday! Hopefully, all of this activity keeps me distracted from the real items that are on my mind...

glycerine?
Trip update:
Packing: Almost done. I have a few essentials that I will need to pack next week (toothbrush, blowdryer, computer stuff) but it's looking like everything is going to fit, and in smaller suitcases than I thought: one big, one small. I have still be weighing the suitcases on our bathroom scale to make sure I don't exceed the 50lb limit for the flight...I'm getting pretty darn close with one of them, despite it not carrying my shoes or frying pan.
Job: No luck at the moment. I've applied for quite a few positions, and haven't gotten so much as a response from any of them yet. I'm worried that I'm going to have to go to Toronto with a blank slate...talk about a stressful first week!
Other Stuff:
I do have a fun next week planned...Gavin Rossdale tonight, a Social/Going Away Party on Friday, Dinner with my aunt and Steve's Birthday Party on Saturday, and Steve's Other Celebration on his birthdate. Plus, the possibility of bra shopping with the aunt, which will be nice.

happy tomorrow again!
Alright, so I did my tax return...*yay*, but I was disappointed to learn that I wasn't getting much back. At least I don't have to pay anything yet but who knows when that'll change.
I worked my little butt off yesterday on The Bottom Line...in the span of 2 days I worked on it for probably 20+ hours, and it's probably the best issue out of the three--better articles, better images, better layout. I'm excited to see the printed copy. And I will be updating the website as soon as I get some motivation.
Instead, tonight, I had better get started on a powerpoint presentation that my prof sprung on us yesterday and is due tomorrow. Who does that? It's going to be awesome because of my group (of 3--most other groups have 4-6 members), I'm the only one who has commited any time to working on it. Yep, yep.
I'm just semi-happy--we'll put it at neutral because at long last, the summer jobs are popping up so I'm not feeling so worried about the summer. I WILL find a job, I WILL be able to afford rent and food, I WILL find a way to pay for my remaining year of university, and dammit, I WILL have fun while doing it!

pick up your number
I got my resumé in for the job that I am really passionate about getting for the summer...let's hope I at least get a call back!
I've been pretty hush-hush about what I'll be doing for the summer around my parents, but I showed him the job description and my coverletter so he could edit it, and he thought I had a good chance for at least an interview...he didn't mention anything about the fact that I would be leaving Winnipeg for the summer in order to do the job. Perhaps he didn't realize that I'd be leaving Winnipeg whether or not I got this job.
But enough about that job...I have to keep it at the back of my mind because I have a lot of projects and exams to get through before that time comes, and I have to semi-face the possibility of not getting hired.
