The Dark Lord Rides in Force Tonight
So, I had my first shift at Future Shop. The guys are tres scary. When I got home, there was a message from Chapters, saying that if I was still interested, I could come in for an interview. I sat on it all weekend, and Saturday night even had a dream about it. Deanna thinks I should at least go for the interview, and the more I think about it, I'd really like the job there. So, my interview is tomorrow at 3. Please pray for me; I'd prefer to work there!

Sing To the Morning Light
Well, I just finished up typing up my letter of resignation to Cotton Ginny. I was going to see if they needed me during the holiday season, but the DM herself said to type up the resignation, and Donna told me not to worry about it, so I'm not. I'm free!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be wierd paying full price for clothes though.
My first shift at Future Shop was the boringest thing in the world. 6 hours of paper work and watching the boringest movies ever! I only hope it's over, and I'll start shadowing and the like. I am pleased to announce that our internet is back online. I'm really glad since I'm alone all weekend. I'd get mighty bored if I didn't have the innanet.
You know, there are a few customers I'm really going to miss. Hopefully they'll come visit me over at the FS.
Hmm, I'm going to run now, tomorrow's my last shift at CG!

Oh Dance in the Dark of Night
So, I got the job at Future Shop. After talking to my mom, I've come to discover that this is really God's will. My first shift is tomorrow. So we will see no? Kristin, I'm looking forward to seeing your thingie! That's all I've got....oh yeah, Telus is still crapped out!!!

And Walked The Night Alone
My internet is down. It totally sucks; I called Telus on Monday when we realized it had crapped out, and they said it should be done by the end of the day, or by Tuesday. Today (Wednesday) it still wasn't working. So I called Telus again, asking for a status report, because both Deanna and myself really need it. They said a work order had been put on it, but because of the labour disputes, they don't know when exactly it's going to be taken care of. Oy! Thankfully the school has wireless, and doubly thankfully my new computer has wireless capabilities. My character analysis project is going fairly well now. All I need to do is assemble my thoughts in coherent order - which may be harder than I think. I've been working on it for about 2 and a half hours, so I'm taking a wee break. Plus, I have no word processor yet, so I'm typing it up on Notepad with the plan of transferring it on my computer, or emailing it myself, and tranfering it on Deanna's processor, if mine doesn't come in the mail today. I hope it comes in the mail; I hate having to borrow people's computers all the time. My mom says it's silly of me to think that way because I let people borrow my computer all the time, so it's my turn, but still.
In other news, I had my second interview at Future Shop with the GM yesterday. I was really excited going into it, but during the interview and after, I was very unsettled. I prayed that if I wasn't able to handle it, if it's not what I should be doing, then for them not even to offer me the job. And I haven't heard back from them. Answer to prayer? I think so, and as much as I wanted that job, I'm content. It just means that Alida's going to really have to get her company going....right? (hehehe)
Well, I think that's all the news. I'd better get back to the grindstone. Ugh! But I want to be able to watch Lost tonight, so it must be done!

Prince of Peace Embraced the Gloom
Today I went to a Salvation Army church. I had never been to one before. It was definitly interesting. They played a lot of the hymns, and they even had an organ! I miss that about my church. Well, it's been several years since an organ has been played at Cannington Baptist, but all the same, worship-wise, it sort of felt like home. The pastor (?) - I'm not sure if they're called that there or not, but he was a good speaker. He also was one of the only people to talk to us. I thought that was great. Nice guy. I went on their website when I went home, because I wanted to read what they were for and stuff, and I'd have to say, somethings I didn't necessarily agree with, and those things would probably make me not want me to be a member of that denomination, but it's a nice place to visit. I've been doing very good today about my homework. I've got 4 out of the 5 things done that I needed to have done for today, so I'm just rewarding myself by taking a bit of a break. I also have an interview tomorrow at 1 for Future Shop, so I hope that goes well! Well, I think that be about it.
Oh, the first one to figure out what song my title lyrics are from gets a hero cookie. This is the third line in the song, so go back to the last 2 posts if that helps!

And Then She Turned to Go
Well, folks, I am not having any more computer problems. Why? Because I got a new computer. You see, mine crashed yesterday, and while God was gracious enough to grant me enough time to save all my precious memories, I wasn't able to save my computer. I know it seems funny, but I kind of miss it. It came with me from Ontario. We've been through a lot together. Movies, music, stories. We had good times. This new computer is pretty cherry. It's a lot lighter than the one I had, and the guy that helped me set it up was incredible. He charged an extra $200, but he added a lot of anti-virus and anti-spyware stuff and taught me how to use everything and how to treat my computer that will make it last. Oh, and I have a DVD writer on my computer. I have no idea what to do with that, but we'll learn right? So, if you're in the market for a new computer, laptop or desktop, or even just for repairs, he has the best rates I've heard, and he'll come to you. My computer crashed yesterday, he ordered it yesterday and I got it today. I told him I'd refer him, so, let me know and I'll hook you up.
I had an excellent voice class. Alida, I wish you could've heard me, my voice went so low! I was so proud of myself. I did the lyrics to The Battle of Evermore, which is just full of beautiful imagery. I went away from that class so proud of my abilities. Somedays, you just need classes like that!
I had a phone interview with Future Shop yesterday, and they said they'd call me in for an in-person interview, so I hope that comes soon. I think it'd be really fun to work there! Well, I think that's about it for now. I planned out my next month or two, and it's going to be pretty busy. I'm really going to have to discipline myself.

Queen of LIght Took Her Bow
I haven't had the best of days. I haven't slept in a week, and it's come to a head today. I'm exhausted, but I still can't sleep. Not only that, my computer is on the fritz. This came after I defraged my computer. I thought that was supposed to solve all my problems, not make it worse. So tomorrow, I'm going to be calling around to see about computer fixing rates. I hope and pray that it's nothing serious, or seriously expensive.
On other news, I dropped off my resume's at several different places the other day. Future Shop, Chapters, Rogers Video and Blockbusters. Hopefully I'll get a call back from at least one of these places. Well, since it's taking me 5 minutes to type and for it to come on the screen, I'm going to go, and never talk to my computer again. (Well, until the morning!)

Grace Makes Beauty Out of Ugly Things
So yesterday I bought 3 earrings for the price of 2 because I was afraid my holes would grow over. I bought the sensitive solution kinds as I'm developing allergies to the earrings. I had them on today for about 3 hours, and they were hurting like the dickens. So I took them out. My ears were red and bloody and downright swollen. I guess I can't wear them anymore. So I'm a-gonna be returning them tomorrow. The lady who sold them to me told me I could, so I hope she won't renege on that agreement.
My interview with Best Buy went alright I think. I found out that this was my first call-back interview (my first one being online), so that made me feel good, that they liked what they read enough to call me in. But they also said there's one more step - another call back, if you will for an interview with the GM. Hopefully I'll be getting that call at the end of the week. The more I think about working for Best Buy the more happy I feel about it. I hope it works out! Well, tonight is Lost, plus the final touches on my one-act play, and getting to work on my reading report. This has been a very work-heavy week, but I'm getting it done!
P.S., Alida, we're really going to have to have that talk that we started on Sunday before I forget everything! hehe.

Give Me That Which I Desire
Something terrible has happened. I don't know if I'll ever recover. Sunday night was part 5 in the 6 part mini "Into the West". Since I was to be at the Andersons, I set up the VCR. When I got home, I was so excited to watch it. I rewound my tape to the desired starting point. (Right after CSI.) Then I discovered it. It had only taped an hour. I missed the first hour! Someone dies, and I don't know who. I promised my parents I wouldn't buy it unless for Christmas or birthday. I am going to die. I can't wait that long. So promise me dear readers. That if you saw this episode, we will never talk about it. NEVER! Until I get it for myself. That is all.

Sure Plays a Mean Pinball
Ever since I moved here I've had a problem with numbers. And it's not in the way most people might think. Since first year, I've been going out in groups, walking downtown, walking in the malls, et cetera. And since those first activites, the groups have been uneven. Boy, girl, boy, girl, boy, girl, and me. I guess it's just the age I'm at, and the place I'm at. I go to Bible College, of course there's hooking up. I just never thought I'd be the one left forgotten. It's unfortunate that when people get in relationships the dynamic of other friendships change. Ha, look at me on my soapbox. There's no saying I won't be like that when/if I get in a relationship. I know I'll certainly be more conscious about what I'm doing. I don't think I can do it anymore. Go out in odd number of groups, because invariably I'll the odd person out. But thanks anyway for inviting me.
Ciao
