My summer has finally arrived after three semesters of non-stop schooling. I am SO relieved! A lot of stuff happened in the past 6 weeks.
I managed to get a temporary job selling t-shirts at a booth for a convention. I only worked for two days and it was really great working in a high-volume/fast-paced environment for the first time. Every hour was spent on my feet but I enjoyed it because I felt like I was actually doing work. The only part I didn't like was how I had to refold shirts so many times and those periods where there were barely any customers. Next great thing was my feet weren't sore at all! Well, they did get a little sore when I was waiting for my pay cheque on the last day. haha. I managed to use that money for the next two weeks to hangout with my friends and do some retail therapy. :)
My spring course finished. I am just awaiting my final grade now to be entered into the system. My professor said he already entered them, but they have yet to show up. :( I just hope I have a good grade. That course was really important and costly so I am hoping for the best!
I managed to get an interview for a hostess position. The interview will be later, but I hope I can get it. I went out earlier this week to go dress shirt shopping for the occasion. Now I have a dress shirt that fits me well. :)
For the next month I will be working a temporary job for a few days, and at the same time I will also be volunteering as a teaching assistant once again. I also have another volunteering activity I have to do this week and that one is what is making my head spin right now. It involves trying to get people to be interviewed but people are shy. >< Hopefully I can get it done soon.
To be honest, I never really had a plan for this summer. I only planned to do job hunting/work, but after submitting tons of resumes and going to a few interviews, i realized that during the waiting period I will have to do something else. Volunteering is there for that purpose and also to give me a little more experience. :)
I am also planning to re-study Japanese since I'm starting to lose it. There's no one to talk to in Japanese where I go, and I think it's kind of awkward to talk in a conversation in Japanese when we're not actually in the class... this also means I should skype my Japanese friends and start talking to them more. I have, however, started watching more Japanese dramas so at least my listening skills are still there. :P
Anyway, I should sleep soon... don't feel so well.
