So far, with only 4 days down on the break, I’ve been having a good time. It feels good not having to worry about finishing anything or having to do anything. That of course shouldn’t be the case but I’ve been lazy. I’ve actually been busy so far working on Friday, Sunday, and now Tuesday. This has kept me busy for the most part. I’ve also been enjoying watching some movies and generally just killing time. The Olympics have kept me interested.
A good movie for everyone to check out is Waiting. It is a comedy that is based in a restaraunt called Shenanigans. I think that this has to be a good representation of what working in a restaraunt must be like. I found myself laughing quite a bit throughout, especially scenes with Dane Cook. That guy is hilarious. You can get it from Amazon with the following link, Waiting DVD
as well as check out the details on imdb

Well it’s that time of year again; Reading Week. I don’t think that I will actually spend much time reading or even going over school work but that is the name it has been given. My goal for the week is to try to relax and goto work. I also plan on watching more Olympics and cheering for Canada. They need all the cheering they can get it seems. The mens hockey team lost again; a 2-0 loss to Finland. I think we should be able to pull it together for the playoffs. We seem to be doing really well at getting medals though, much better than our Summer Olympics results.

There is something about Arctic air that I just don’t like. . . if you can’t figure out what that could be then you have never lived through a Saskatchewan winter. I thought that this would be the year; a year without any frigid cold Arctic air coming down and freezing all of us. We got all the way into February and the worst we had seen was only -20. We had the warmest January on record! Now this. Today I think the high was around -30 or so, but then you have the wind. The wind chill was probably around -46 all day. Now the night, I can only imagine the horrors it will bring. The forecast now says -36 with a windchill of -50. There is an end in sight to all this mayhem. The long range forecast is calling for sunny days ahead with a high on Monday back up to -5. In the meantime, I better go back and make sure my car is plugged in.

Time has come for midterms. Up first is a midterm for CS290AF, the java class. I am not sure what to expect for the midterm. So far the quizes have been tricky which I believe to be a ploy to lower the class average to a respectable level. I sure hope the midterm isn’t quick so tricky but I’m going to make sure to keep a sharp eye out for any tricks. After this midterm on Friday, I have another Chinese 100 quiz. I did not bad on the first quiz but it wasn’t 100%. I am going to have to try harder this time to strive for perfection. I hope that this will be the class to really boost my average up. After this, I have a week off for school. Yay to Spring Break! Then I come back from the break and have a CS340 midterm and then an Econ202 midterm. I am not going to be happy for both of these at all. I guess I should probably do a little bit of studying during the break but I doubt I will get anything done. Since I never seem to actually study for these things beforehand.

I have finally finished all my job interviews for my coop job for the summer. I think I should be able to find a nice job that will allow me to have plenty of money. I’ll have to try to balance it out so that I am saving a portion of my earnings so that way when I go back to school I will still have a lot of money around.
Back to the job interviews. The interviews weren’t very stressful at all for me. I remained relaxed and confident throughout. I think that this has to do with my prior experience for past job interviews. Some of the jobs sounded really interesting and there were some other jobs that were only slightly interesting. I only applied for jobs that I would be interested in working at this semester. This helped me since I knew the jobs that I would be doing and the material in their fields. This game me a knowledge boost for the interviews and I was able to better express myself. I will find out next week how I am ranked at the jobs and then I will go from there. If I am ranked number 1 by more than one job I will get to decide where I work. If only 1 then thats where I will be, and if no rankings . . . I better be looking for more employment elsewhere.
