I haven't been able to find a job. Greeter job got back to me and told me they hired individuals who matched the job description/skills more. Meh. Food job also got back to me and told me they couldn't fit me with my schedule so I wasn't able to get a position, however they said they would keep my resume on hold if there is a position available. Ah, I tried.
I applied for the same food job at another location, maybe they will get back to me this week. I think I've kinda given up on the job search for now. Not too sure if I'll be able to fit working while attending a Spring course. I'll have more free time, but perhaps that free time would be better devoted to schoolwork. We'll see, I guess.
--Speaking of school, I've just been so lazy over the past few weeks, it's become a bad habit. The semester is almost finished, yet I find myself getting lazier and lazier. I wake up later, go to school later, and not care too much... plus there is my volunteering and it's hard to keep up when most of my time is spent on schoolwork. I do my assignments and try to fit everything I need to do within my schedule. At least I still can maintain a social life. I'm pretty stressed I guess. Exams are coming up, final assignments are due soon, and Spring course is around the corner.
I need to wake up earlier, eat breakfast, coordinate my outfit, and pack my school stuff in the mornings. No more of this just laying in bed for an hour and wasting valuable time... and not eating breakfast. D:
I also need to pack my lunch more often. I've been packing my lunch last week for two days, and it went pretty well! I make it the night before just in case I wake up later than expected (which did happen). Hopefully I can keep up with this routine.
I also need to re-study Japanese. Been slacking on it since the Fall, that I've forgotten a lot of my kanji and grammar points already. Not great when I've got friends coming here who speak Japanese. Need to be able to communicate with them in both Japanese and English. I'm trying to aim to start studying next month. :)

Interviews
So with that, I've had 5 interviews this year already... One of them I got an unpaid internship from, I didn't get the job for another, and I'm still waiting on three of the other ones.
I had two job interviews today. Inititally I was expecting only one - in person. I wake up this morning to realize that I will be late for school if I don't get up soon. While laying in bed, I check my email on my ipod. To my surprise, I get an e-mail from one of the jobs I applied for the previous nights. It was just an email stating the location of the position, and thanking me for my resume. I wanted another email, from an employer who I was supposed to be interviewed by on Sunday, but I couldn't go, because well, the commute would have been too long and we had a blizzard the night before (which I had no idea the snow would melt on Sunday...), but that e-mail didn't come... at least not in the morning.
I make my way to school, and realize I get a missed call. Turns out it's from one of the employers... however it's a long distance call, so I listen to the voicemail, hesitant to call back. I eventually call them back, but they were out of the office. I leave them an email, they call me again, but I was in class so I called them back when I had a break.
The interview was interesting, I didn't expect to have a phone interview on the spot. It was more of them going over my experience, and abilities/skills... I had to interupt them in the middle of it since I had to head back to class. I got sent some surveys to fill out for them. Hopefully it goes well. Not so sure if I really want that job now, even though it pays more. The position seems like it might be boring... but the location is nearby, and the hours are reasonable.
Then after classes, I was going to head home, but I decided to check my e-mail once more. Got an e-mail from the other employer I was waiting to hear from. Turns out they were able to do an interview today, so I went ahead and attended the interview. It went well, at least I thought it went well. The interviewer was very easy going and she was really nice. I feel like I want to work at this establishment more because it actually has more skills needed compared to the other job. This job is in the food industry so I'd definitely learn a lot of things about preparing food that would definitely help in the long run. The pay may not be as good as the other job, but the location is in a place I'm familiar with, and I love their products.
I'll have to see which one gets back to me first. If the food one gets back to me first, I'll take it. As long as there are hours available for me. If the other job gets back to me... well, I guess I'll take it, but only after I've asked some more questions about the detail of the position, what it's like, how challenging it could be, and how much fun/comfortable it is to do. Once those questions are answered, I'll make a decision. But yea, I think I want the food job now... lol. Although, it requires some heavy lifting, which I may not be able to do without assistance.
Other than those kind of interviews, I've got some interviews I need to do for my unpaid internship... which is filming interviews where I interview people. Ah, lots of work to do.. busy busy.
...excuse any typos/spelling errors/grammatical errors/errors in general in this post. It's almost 2AM. I'm so tired.

Jobs
So I recently applied for a bunch of jobs. One job got back to me asking for an interview... but I'm not so sure if I want that job now. The job is kinda far for me, and it's in the food industry... but I guess working there for a short time wouldn't be too bad if I do get hired.
Although if I do work there it means I'll pretty much be in the same place for everyday of the week, unless I get a holiday. :S Hm, I dunno.
I'm waiting for the other jobs to get back to me, but they probably won't get back until Monday or later this week. I really want a job that is in my field of expertise, but if I can't get that, then I'm hoping I can get this other job I applied for... which pays 'well' and is an easy job that only requires a lot of standing, talking, and walking.
I mean, it's been a whole school year and I only started looking for jobs in January... maybe I should start working after school is done. Although, it would be nice to be working now and have a little pocket money to start the Spring with.
It kind of sucks though because due to my heavy school schedule for next year, I might have to work less or even quit the job. So it'd be better to start working now, rather than later to get some experience under my belt and to show the employer what I can do for their company.
My interview was supposed to be later today, but I asked to reschedule it for Monday, since it will be more convenient for me, then.
Also, I have my unpaid internship as well.. I need to make time for that this week though... hopefully I can get my equipment soon to start filming.
