Wow. Stil wrapping my head around all that.

It's a 10 month contract with the option for full time if it goes well. I don't want to talk about pay, but it's been almost 2 months without a paycheque, so anything they offered I'd have taken. Turns out if you do a comparison on salaries in the same job description in the area, their offer is past the high end. I danced happily when I saw that.

On Saturday I'm off to see Bob Dylan in concert. It should be an amazing time. and memorable.

That's about it. I should update this more often than once every 3 months.

 

More than halfway through my placement.

Today my program coordinator visited. She was supposed to be there for 45 mins. Instead it turned into almost two hours. I dont want to give out the wrong impression or be boastful, but she was in talking to my supervisor for 45 mins. And couldn't get anything negative out of her. She didn't even have to prompt my supervisor about how I was doing.

They're that impressed with me. Apparently I'm
-mature,
-forward thinking
-always hardworking
-sensitive to all of the variety of issues that get tossed at me
-polite 
-pleasant
-intuitive about what is needed
-always on time (early)
-do exactly what is asked without delay
-a gem to any organization that needs someone

I nearly fell off my chair. 2 hours of how suited I am for this field.
Also, today we had a random piece of education legislation be presented. So, the media was on site again. This time I got invited to sit in on the interview and q&a on the Superintendents' floor. Best day ever
Tuesday, CTV came into the building for an advertising presentation. Was invited into that meeting. So much information passing around that room.

Tomorrow, I'm sitting in on another advertising meeting. Should be interesting.

Alrighty, That's what's been going on. I have two weeks left and then back to school for a few weeks and the dreaded Capstone project.

I had the hugest geek moment today. When watching Grey's (my not so secret shame) two of the characters I like are starting to get together. I squealed. LIke a huge geek.

and now for bed. this working hard is hard work.
 

I'm in the midst of interviewing for workplacements.

Friday I interviewed at the KW Symphony. This position is going to be 60hrs + plus several events in march. its going to be insane.

This morning I interviewed at Wings of Paradise. This position is going to be similar. Except it'll be 1000 visitors during March break.
 But they gave me a tour of the conservatory and the exhibits. Its awesome there! Even if i don't get this placement, I'm still going back. It was a nice break from the -20 temperatures outside.

That's about it. I'm stuck up to my ass in assignments and trying to work ahead. There's three weeks of classes left till placements start.

I'm still negotiated with work over my availability. which should turn out to be interesting....

That's about it. the family is sick. and not fun.
 

55% on the line.

I presented second. "Can sexual orientation be changed?" what a loaded topic.
6 mins and 45 seconds of me speaking from the heart in front of the class and two teachers.
Upon conclusion, the applause was deafening.
and by the time i reached my seat again, the teachers ask me to come over and speak with them.
"You should publish this. Wow." was what they told me.
 

For three weeks i've been writing snippets of this speech. Its safe to say that I wrote at least 10 different speeches for this one.
and the final one i give, is the dumbed version of my first.

The most effective and moving according to the class.
but in my mind, i keep finding holes in my logic, and emotional theories. Always a critic.

i need to sleep. just a psa due tomorrow (which i havent' started) and one exam left. I never thought i'd be counting down this soon.
 

Finally it hit me

So. How's that for drunken posts? 

:)

I hope your foot is doing better Theo. Ouchie for you.

So Theo, I was thinking of you today.
