so, i know this sounds negative.
but remind me next time to try and pick a placement in MISSISSAUGA !!
i was calculating how much money i will need for fare from january-april… and i’m gonna need a whole damn lot.
i’m still super excited about working downtown, but wow.
and i still browse through the other job-postings at the co-op site, and almost all of them are in mississauga now… with higher pay.. which technically wouldn’t be needed. but working downtown x_X it sucks that i can’t apply anymore since i’m already placed :(
but oh well, we’ll see how this work term goes.
i don’t know how all the uni/college students do it commuting from and to their cities every day. this is depressing. i hate money.
k. done complaining.
truth is,
i rarely come here when i’m happy. i know, i could write about it. but i’ve noticed my happiness is almost borderline boring to read about. it’s just normal.
i’ll be normal today :)
so, after a $100+ necessary shopping spree for interview clothing, missing 2 of the same classes in a row, commuting in really horrible rainy days, writing a surprise tax preparation test as an interview, getting sick, personal/family/relation issues, having another interview while still sick, and an insanely hectic weekend at work… i found out how well worth it these 2 weeks all were.
i was offered the co-op placement on monday. it’s with BDO Dunwoody LLP, a pretty successful accounting firm with many offices around the country. the one i’d be working at is downtown in the Atrium on Bay street, right beside the Eaton’s Centre. what makes it better is that it’s paid co-op, and no school for 4 months. exciting times ahead.
but i also forgot to mention all the good things that happened within 2 weeks. i’ve spent precious time studying with nella and morrie last week, and stayed at tin’s dorm downtown last thursday so that i could be in town for my interview on friday. this time with friends was something i really needed. and it continues.
good things happen in life, and unhappy things happens. not necessarily bad things.
it’s just what we believe and say. we always associate bad things with unhappy feelings.
but maybe this was just another relapse of life. one of those big events that make you realize something needs to change. makes you realize that you are capable when all is said and done. fresh from the hurt, you realize what you need to do.
i know it’s not right or fair to blame unhappy things on other people; but it’s no better to blame it on yourself either. take it for what it is. and start again.
it’s 9:30 in the morning.
my heart is very heavy.
i think it’s a bit too early in the day for this.
