Boring!

Well, I seem to be having trouble organizing my thoughts enough to pick a topic today. Or even keep topics separated. So I won't! Instead this will be a short free writing exercise :) So I have two interviews today. One of them is my second interview with a company, and the other is an interview with a professor for a summer internship. I hope i do well with the prior, because it is a full time career position, but I really wouldn't complain too much about a paid internship either. I've been so addicted to these Arizona tea in a can drinks lately. Specifically the Diet peach tea which contains literally no calories or sugar, and it till manages to taste great! Over of the weekend I was up in Whistler, BC and I had to look everywhere to find my Arizona tea. Unfortunately no one had the diet peach tea! AAHHH!!! Ok now I'll give you a couple pictures I've taken in the last week with my phone. Enjoy.



Oh and my favorite video of the week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VGTqZhmR-Q&feature=feedu

All beginnings, have an end

This week is going to be a sort of sad week for me. Two of my all-time long running TV shows are coming to an end.



To start the week off, Stargate Universe will run its series finally tonight. Although Stargate Universe is only in its 2nd season, the Stargate franchise itself has been airing new episodes for the past 14 years, and yes I've seen them all. But to cut off this new series, which was radically different and interesting compared to the old SG1 and Atlantis series, only after two seasons is just such a waste of a great story. I really wanted to see where the series and its characters were headed in their involuntary exploration of the other side of the universe. I guess I'm left wondering.



This Friday also marks the day of the end, of the beginning really. Yes, Smallville's 2 hour series finally is here. After 10 years of watching Clark Kent grow up, he will (I assume) finally accept his destiny and put on his Superman tights and cape, aim for the skies and fly. Gough and Millar the creators of the Smallville series said when it began that Clark would never fly in the series. And to my amazement they stuck to their word on that one (minus a couple episodes where clark was under the influence of different types of kryptonite). His inability to fly represent his fear and insecurities, which must be overcome before he can accept his destiny. I for one am extremely excited to see how this comes about and on the bright side we all know how his story goes on. No cliff hanger here... Or will there be??? We'll find out Friday night!

The Interview



Last week I had my first real interview for a software engineering job. I was quite nervous, didn't know what to expect, way out of my league and well yeah I was kind of a mess. I spent the rest of the day and that night going over the questions they asked in my head and why I didn't say what I should have said and asked. I do feel like I was myself during the interview, and they definitely got to know me. So the question remains, will it be enough? Probably not, but it was a good experience and I definitely learned a lot. I should hear from them by the end of the week. Now it's time to start sending out my resume to more and more companies and let those interviews start piling up. Someone will take me!

I think I'll be sining up for linked-in soon: http://www.linkedin.com/
