OPERATIONS COORDINATOR!!!!!
I got iiiinnn!!!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! congratulations to MEEE!
AWESTASTIC! so it turns out that i was an "outstanding candidate" :D
so kewl so cool.

in other news. i FINALLY got my stupid laptop sleeve that ive been hunting for since DAY 1 of my purchasing the *shiny*. i hate pacific mall, and if htey didnt have everything useless you could possibly think of needing, i wouldnt go at all. so anyway, after walking to every corner of that stupid rat maze, i finally found a tiny puter store that sells these "sleeves". it was 'homemade', it was cheap, it is excellent. fits snug as a bug in a rug. i lurve it, i'd've lurved it more if i wasnt so disoriented when i finally found the store, but i lurve it nonetheless.
im also more than willing to spread the knowledge, if anybody needs a laptop sleeve ask me where that store is cuz the ppl there are super nice and they have EVERY size or else they can custom make it for you. (ya they should be paying me to advertise for them...)
but anyway you have no idea how long ive hunted for this stupid lil piece of taped together foam stitched up in nylon casing slapped shut with velcro.

ok done now.

My New *Shiny*:

Well, if getting a new *shiny* doesnt warrent a new post I dont know what will. That's right folks, I'm back after a loooong hiatus from the blog world. Did you miss me?Eeh, i figure i should update now if only to appease the masses and the lynch mobs. "updaaaate!!!" "No! YOU update!" and the sad part is? they do. damnation people, stop taking my suggestions.

anyway, back to the laptop: Toshiba M50 model - 14" wide screen, 100G HD space, speakers with BASS, and the best part being that it's BLUE!! it's my new baby. i havnt named it yet, so we're sticking with *shiny* for now. i LURVE it :D
(full specs here for those of you who piddle over these things)

sooo lets see what new attractions have been added to WndWorld shall we?

why else would i be updating unless i have disgusting amounts of work to be done right? Right. ('and for your prize, you get a switchblade') I wont bore you with the details but it's enough to make me wanna dive head first into a large bucket o' Ben & Jerry's when i finally hand in everything.

i'll be back here for spring term and next year to get into & finish off an Engrish degree. technically i can graduate this spring with Econ but i dont wanna, and i figure queens has taken enough of my money over the years such that i dont really want to pay them twice to rent the graduating robes. but, since im here for 6 weeks doing 2.5 credits ('for those of you who've guessed she's crazy, step right up to claim your very own straight jacket! brand new shiny buckles on a bleach white canvas'), i get to see my friends after their graduation ceremonies - laughing at those whose bums have gone numb from sitting for 6 hrs :D - and meeting parents i dont know and grannies with chapeaus.

so many people are doing NOVA that i might just have to go visit them in japan. i dont really know how thats gonna happen just as yet, but seems like a very possible option since everyone will be stationed at different cities. and then if im not too broke, i can "swing by" china to visit some relatives. sounds like a plan.

HOUSING!!! (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!)

for awhile back, i thought that id have to pay double rent over the summer if we didnt manage to find subletters. since our lease goes from sept to sept, and most other leases go from may to may, it looked pretty hopeless until..........dumdumdum i got offered:
1) a room with sci'44 co-op (accepted)
2) discipline facilatator for main campus (confirmed)
3) operations coordinator for west campus (in the process of hiring)

ALL this weekend. um...wtf mate? so while it is a good situation to be in, i was actually overwhelmed by the amount of choice that i had. so after 2 days of thinking and weighing the pros/cons, ive finally decided to take #3. room&board, compensation, and i wont have to make nice with the froshies that are coming in cuz while they ask we keep an "open door policy", its not my job to deal with their problems. oh, and i get POWER..uh i mean...responsibility since it is a management position. so, cross your fingers for me that theyll hire me otherwise i'll be stuck with facilatating snot-nosed lil boys and girls ('she doesnt give a crap' is the right answer! c'mon up to collect your prize: the eye-gouger'). eh, i jest. just so you dont think me a completely terrible person, i DO enjoy meeting new people - but they better not be boring :P

and finally, subletting.
somebody needs to sign a summer lease already. and buy some furniture.
moving out is gonna be SO much fun. i dont know how ive managed to accumulate so much CRAP. its everywhere - every corner of my room is jammed full of stuff. maybe i should draw up a budget for myself next year....

well, thats all folks thanks for playing. remember to tune in next week: same bat channel, same bat time.
(ya i dunno, i think thats the wrong wording anyway. aaaaaand...one more picture :)
