XD How do I like it? Well, it&#8217;s a job. And in some ways it&#8217;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&#8217;t know if it&#8217;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&#8217;t snap at me when I&#8217;ve done something stupid. I&#8217;m starting to remember why I don&#8217;t like food service much, though. :tongue:<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the school front:<\/strong> Did fine in Math 200. And now I&#8217;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&#8217;t decide if doing Honours and a minor in an unrelated subject will be too stressful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the sewing front:<\/strong> 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&#8217;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&#8217;t sew properly. I&#8217;ll probably handstitch that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the crafty front:<\/strong> Last week, the B&#038;C execs held a mini beading party&#8211;four of us were there&#8211;so that we could make things for our fundraiser. Let&#8217;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&#8217;ll probably have another one soon, as we don&#8217;t have nearly enough items. I also want to make a Raven plushie, and a few things from a Japanese craft book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the reading front:<\/strong> Just finished <em>The Code Book<\/em> (Simon Singh), a very interesting history of codes, ciphers, and concealment in general. I&#8217;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 &#8230; 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&#8217;m also halfway through <em>Le coeur est un muscle involontaire<\/em>. I&#8217;m getting there! Even if the only times I read it are while I&#8217;m waiting for or on the bus. I&#8217;m also randomly flipping through Conway&#8217;s <em>On Numbers and Games<\/em>. I can&#8217;t sit down and read the thing from beginning to end. It would hurt my head.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the language front:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the website front:<\/strong> I have <em>PHP &#038; MySQL for Dummies<\/em> 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&#8217;m working with someone else, so I&#8217;d better have it done. (I&#8217;m the techie. :cheerful:)<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the customer service front:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the pseudo-celebrity-gossip front:<\/strong> A customer who ordered a pizza today looked exactly like Keanu Reeves. Okay, well, I thought so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the fangirl front:<\/strong> <em>HBP<\/em>! <em>HBP<\/em>! <em>HBP<\/em>! <em>HBP<\/em>! <em>HBP<\/em>! <em>HBP<\/em>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, seriously, if you expect any kind of structure from my blog, you&#8217;re looking in the wrong place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","category-quotidian"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/undreamt.org\/log\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/undreamt.org\/log\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/undreamt.org\/log\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undreamt.org\/log\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undreamt.org\/log\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/undreamt.org\/log\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/undreamt.org\/log\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undreamt.org\/log\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undreamt.org\/log\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
