so guess what, I have an interview:) It's the same job I talked about in the earlier posts - the people changed the interview date so now I AM going to get a chance to get a cool summer job! yay, wish me luck!

I'm leaving for ottawa this tuesday - my bus leaves an hour after I write my last exam. I probably have to bring my crap with me to the exam, just so that I don't have to rush back home...it'll look a little silly, coming to the exam with a huge duffel bag. but then again, I've never been one to care about looking silly :p

tata!

"When third world countries lose a nurse, teacher, or engineer and Canada gets a cleaner, everyone loses."

This is from an article I read a while ago and it got me thinking...is canada too restrictive when it comes to foreign training/credentials?

I have mixed feelings about this issue...I mean I can understand that it might be next to impossible to have some kind of standardized system for foreign credits and training...but at the same time though, I feel like our gov't is being a little underhanded when it comes to attracting skilled workers from other countries (epecially those from the 'third world')...

Who hasn't heard the shpeel about how Canada's labour force isn't growing at a desired rate? And how skilled immigrants are needed to keep the economy afloat? This is what foreigners hear all the time. Canada needs you! Bring your skills to Canada! bla bla bla. The gov't doesn't give proper warning to these people about the reality of the situation. It doesn't tell them that their years of education will probably go to waste and that they might have to do even MORE schooling! And it sure as hell doesn't tell them that they probably have to take jobs nobody else wants!!

....sorry for the rant. Anyhoo peoples, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to bash Canada. I love this country, but it's good to criticize from time to time...keeps us on our toes :)

I'm having strong urges to stab someone in the head with a large butcher knife.

just kidding! :)

or am I?

Haha! I'm playing

or maybe not...

lol, really, I'm kidding. just feeling a little frustrated at the moment :\

something awesome happened today - I got a callback for an amazing summer job in Ottawa! I thought that was great, I just love getting called back, even when I don't end up getting the job. the fact that they acknowledged my application is pretty cool (yeah..I'm a loser, I know ^ ^)

anyhoo, UNFORTUNATELY the interview is this Friday, in Ottawa. and there's absolutely no way I can go - I thought I could but I realize now it's just not possible right now. *sigh* No worries though, I'm a big believer in that everything happens for a reason. If it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be. :)

The last few days were hectic! moving is such a pain in the ass. I'm not fully unpacked yet and it's taking forever to find everything - I should be more organized next time I move.

"next time" isn't that far off by the way, I'm leaving for Ottawa in late June/early July...don't have a clue where I'm staying yet...I'm dead broke right now so I'm probably going go have to mooch off some friends/family until I can find me a job.

oh man, I have a shitload of work waiting for me - essays and such..so I guess I should get on that and stop fooling around on the 'net!

I'm so depressed! but not in a suicidal way :p

everything's so stagnant right now. while most of my friends are graduating here I am stuck in school for the rest of summer. They have internships, job interviews and DIRECTION, and me - I have nothing! unless of course you count the midterms, papers and credit card bills...

bollocks!
