starting and ending
good news: i have finally found a lovely pair of jeans!!! from AE!!! for only $51 incl. tax!!! but i have to exchange them for another pair b/c i got the size 8-long... like duh. i got them at fairview and that was the only pair of 8s they had... so off to stc or eaton centre to do an echanger. #4 DONE
i'm going to finish my session review and get ready for JET tonight, so #s 1 and 8 will be done as well, including some of #10 b/c i'm reading a bit tonight. woohoooooo...
seiji commented that i was v.critical, and that no one would want to marry me as a result of this characteristic. rather than be offended, i realized this morning that i am becoming v. hyper-critical of things, esp. of him b/c i have this notion that when you're with someone, there should be more of an effort to be a better person (something you should be doing 24/7 anyway), and i'm kind of disappointed in the way he is carrying himself. hmm. i also had a mini-epiphany... you know what, maybe i WON'T get married. and after i had thunk that thought, i felt relieved in some way.. like freer. no stress about the future. it's funny how melissa and michelle both have bfs. well maybe not funny-haha but funny-hmmm-interesting ya? so what did i learn? stop being so hyper critical of everything/body b/c even though i may not necessarily be harsh to people, it is still being judgemental.
i have planned out my week, and it looks pretty good... haven't really thought about going out though... maybe a movie later on? i am the queen of homebodies... i rule ALL... oh good news to boot, i might become a computer tutor for st.christopher's house soon.. yay! the literacy thing was for a year commitment.. so couldn't.
speaking of employment, i pondering over possible summer employment. Note: daydreams guarantee employment upon application
i could work at swiss chalet:
pros
soo close to home, waitressing so it's out of my comfort zone, chicken!!!, run by asian people, lots of older people come in b/c of homestyle cooking/family restaurant, TIPS!
cons
lots of teenagers go there, might smell like chicken upon departure (a la buffy and burger palace scent), voice might not carry well, position ripe for clumsy/awkward moments (potential subpeona for coffee burns????)
i could work at chapters/indigo:
pros
get to be surrounded by books, take home books to read, discount, fairly close to home (kennedy commons)
cons
smock uniform?, sporadic bus schedule, bored in a big space, co-worker chit chat
i could work at the GAP
pros
DISCOUNT, clothing retail experience, help people out
cons
quota?, working w/smarmy teens/lifers, bored in a big space
dilemma of august proportions.
