My laptop is still acting screwy so I'm using the computer lab in school. They need to turn down the a/c in here man!
anyhoo, I had my very first summer class today. It looks like it'll be interesting and a little bit challenging, but I'm looking forward to. I'm so pumped about starting classes again! I would never have said that three weeks ago. the break was so relaxing and I'm so energized...plus the fact that all my final marks rock got me really motivated to do just as well this summer the B- in econ was my lowest mark!

oh yeah, I got a cool email from Environment Canada asking if I was interested in a summer position. that would be amazing but it's really going to screw up my plans! Dilemma! On one hand, I have really cool classes this summer that I know I can do really well in (and I have to take them to graduate on time.) But on the other, this would be an awesome opportunity to get some actual career related experience...and the pay is very pleasing. Also, I'd only have to give up two classes coz the rest are night classes...
I'm not worrying too much about it though b/c I doubt I'm going to get it anyway. It sounds really competitive. Plus they're looking for 'advanced students' from third year to master's who are studying environmental sciences. (i'm only minoring in it, so i'm not like an expert or anything.)
The position is called atmospheric change communications officer. It's kind of funny because I was hired by my school's arts management program as a communications assistant this past school year, and I'm comfertable with climate change issues (i took classes and went to seminars on the topic) so maybe I DO have a chance? We'll see...

wow this lab is freezing, I'm going to go now...
