Okay, seriously, if you expect any kind of structure from my blog, you’re looking in the wrong place.
On the job front: I make pizzas now. XD How do I like it? Well, it’s a job. And in some ways it’s nicer than Subway because there is literally no prep work to do. Everything comes pre-cut. As I keep mentioning to people, though, all the drivers but two speak a Eastern European language (I don’t know if it’s likely that a Serbian will speak Russian :blush:) so I think we were invaded by the Russian mafia. They are all quite nice, though. Not friendly, maybe, but they don’t snap at me when I’ve done something stupid. I’m starting to remember why I don’t like food service much, though. :tongue:
On the school front: Did fine in Math 200. And now I’m freeeee! Freeeee!! Except I have to do course planning. I HATE course planning. I wish I could just take the courses I want and forget about the rest of them. (Like Math 221. Who knew you had to know matrix algebra to be a chemist?) I also still can’t decide if doing Honours and a minor in an unrelated subject will be too stressful.
On the sewing front: I made myself another bag, this time out of a huge tank top my cousin bestowed upon me (it had cute things on it.) It doesn’t fit, so naturally I cut it up and made it into a totebag which is just large enough for a (hardcover) book, a clunky cellphone, wallet, keys, and emergency umbrella. The only problem is with one of the straps, which I didn’t sew properly. I’ll probably handstitch that.
On the crafty front: Last week, the B&C execs held a mini beading party–four of us were there–so that we could make things for our fundraiser. Let’s just say that needle and thread is a lot better than fishing line. I ended up making a pair of earrings and an anklet. It was supposed to be a bracelet, but I ran out of time. We’ll probably have another one soon, as we don’t have nearly enough items. I also want to make a Raven plushie, and a few things from a Japanese craft book.
On the reading front: Just finished The Code Book (Simon Singh), a very interesting history of codes, ciphers, and concealment in general. I’d forgotten how much I loved this stuff when I was younger. I admit that some of the intricacies of Enigma still escape me, but … I sure admire cryptanalysts more than ever. Too bad you have to be a math genius to really get a handle on encryption these days. I’m also halfway through Le coeur est un muscle involontaire. I’m getting there! Even if the only times I read it are while I’m waiting for or on the bus. I’m also randomly flipping through Conway’s On Numbers and Games. I can’t sit down and read the thing from beginning to end. It would hurt my head.
On the language front: Closed captioning is the best thing ever invented. I can finally keep pace with the French channel now :tongue: Although I do sometimes notice that they skip a few words or sentences. I also need to learn Russian so that I can keep up with the mafia.
On the website front: I have PHP & MySQL for Dummies on hold from the library, because I will seriously get that CORE OF SOUL fansite up this summer. Hopefully in no more than two weeks. I’m working with someone else, so I’d better have it done. (I’m the techie. :cheerful:)
On the customer service front: Apparently I have also single-handedly brought customer service back from the dead. :biggrin: Now if only I could get that lady to write me a reference letter.
On the pseudo-celebrity-gossip front: A customer who ordered a pizza today looked exactly like Keanu Reeves. Okay, well, I thought so.
On the fangirl front: HBP! HBP! HBP! HBP! HBP! HBP!
