My week as a carnie

2008-07-22T20:36:09Z

Was an interesting experience. They were hiring basically anyone on the spot, so needless to say, I got a job. Fortunately, I got one as a ticket seller, rather than someone running the games, rides, or concessions. Training took 45 minutes, bec...

Job searching sucks (assuming you didn't know)

2008-07-13T20:11:28Z

I haven't yet found a job for the summer. Although, I haven't been trying super-hard until recently because I've been back and forth from Vancouver, unsure of when I'd actually be in town for an interview or to start work. The Lakefair is this w...

This week in cats

2008-06-26T00:46:56Z

When I went into the Wild Felids Advocacy Center on Monday, I met their new baby lynx. DAMN IS IT CUTE. His name is Pu-lynx (Well, officially I guess it's P'uch'ub) and he's quite a character. My camera just broke, so I haven't got any good pi...

To South Africa and Brazil!

2008-06-21T00:03:01Z

So the other day I sent off my Wildlands application and short essay. I wish I'd had the drive to sit down and write the essay as soon as I got the application in the mail and send it off that very day, but instead I took a few days, since I was ...

Summer!

2008-06-16T21:45:38Z

Spring quarter ended well. Holy shit am I glad to be done with another year. And the next year looks like it'll be pretty fun, if everything works out and Wildlands Studies accepts my application. Ideally, I will be participating in the South A...

The end is nigh

2008-06-01T19:46:15Z

...Of Spring quarter, that is. YES. I still haven't quite figured out my contract for Summer, but I've decided not to worry about it until Tuesday evening, when all of my stuff for the current quarter is finished. I will be taking a class about...

Hating school registration

2008-05-20T06:01:07Z

I have not been getting into the programs I want and NEED in order to graduate. Even with registration priority. Last quarter, registration fucked me over. For next year, my senior year, my last chance, I was not selected to be in the class tha...

The glamor continues.

2008-05-12T06:18:25Z

I will begin my entry by first apologizing to the probably hundreds of barnacles, snails, and other invertebrates that I likely killed by stepping on last week. Invertebrate life in the tide pools is so abundant that there is hardly any area as l...

No spine = MORE SEXY!

2008-04-25T22:39:07Z

The program I'm taking in school is focusing on invertebrates. It's pretty cool, actually. I expected to be disappointed -- but then again, I always do, which makes it all the more wonderful when I am pleasantly surprised instead. (And if I do ...

Shift

2008-04-11T04:11:32Z

Phew. Time for an update on my life, I suppose. A couple weeks ago I moved into a new house. It was a huge pain in the ass, but well worth it to get out of that shitty apartment and into a big house with a YARD. I have four other roommates, o...
