Greetings, my friends of Otaku! I feel bad for not being around lately. I left somewhat abruptly from the middle of last week. It's been a tad bit crazy-busy lately. Because I don't want to bore you out of your minds, I'll try to be brief in my recap.
But first, I must mention comments from my last post. I do apologize to all of those who were drastically affected by my Michael Jackson pic. I knew the picture would freak some out, but I didn't know it would to the point of gouging out eyeballs and sending some back to therapy. O_O
Oops.
Recap!!
Ok, so I'll just (try to) skim by the major points of the past week
since I last left you.
Wednesday
Today, a friend and I had interviews back at the coal company I worked for last summer. Because I worked for them not too long ago, and since they requested me back, I was pretty sure I had the job. But that didn't mean I could skip out on the interviews. As for my friend, she is basically on the bottom of the totum poll: she's not a dependent and has not had any experience working there. (I'm not a dependent either) But that really doesn't mean anything. Anyway, she had 3 interviews, the
last of which she seemed to enjoy the most. I also went to the same person for the interview, but I didn't like it.
First, I don't think I made the greatest impression before him. This is how a little conversation went:
Peter: So, what do you want to do when you grow up?
Me: Ummm.... *pauses* I want to be a mom and wife.
Peter: O_o *chuckles* Well... That certainly is admireable...
Me: >__< *to self* D'oh! Did I just say that just now? ...
And last, Peter made me take a writing test! I didn't really like that because it was timed! I had 10 minutes to write a promotional paper about the coal company, given some facts. With only 1 minute left, all these good ideas suddenly flooded my mind.
Oh well, I at least got the job with the same lady I worked for last
year. ^_^'
Thursday
For most of the day, I spent most of my time just shopping for props for the upcoming skit that would be performed on Sunday. I also tried looking for accessories for a formal that would be on Saturday. I was
seriously tired of driving around and shopping; it wears you out!
Friday
Shopped some more. Had a skit practice that lasted from 7:30 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. We practiced so darn long because our "director" didn't think we did a good job. Our first time through was seriously rough since we were just getting used to using props. But by midnight, we were able to
pull things together and work the issues out... sorta...
Saturday
Had Ladies' Breakfast early in the morning. Thus, I was pretty tired. I worked a little bit on the building project, but I couldn't stay long because there was a young adult's formal tonight. Fortunately, I didn't
have to do much shopping for the formal. My orange dress still fit
though it was a hassle to take off. Lol.
Anyway, I had to drive a few friends down to Sterling, VA, where the formal would be held in the Sheraton Hotel. I really didn't like driving Capitol Beltway (495): it was so busy and everyone had to put on their
brakes every 5 minutes. Nevertheless, we got there with some time to finish getting ready.
It was a nice night. The hotel was beautiful, and the food wasn't too bad. ^_^ It was really nice seeing some friends I don't see too often. But I didn't get home until 12 in the morning again. Tomorrow would be
an even busier day...
Sunday
Today is the day marking the 10th anniversary of my Pastor's pastoring our church. From morning to when it was our turn to do our skit, I had butterflies in my stomach. We did one final practice of our skit, of which I don't think went that well. But the show must go on... So our
turn arrives, and I'm in the first "Act" of the skit. To say the least, I was stinkin' nervous! lol. But all in all, the skits went really well!! The audience laughed, so I felt relieved. ^_^
We ended the day with a game of softball (Our team won!) and ice cream.
Mmmm.... Black raspberry....
Monday
Now, I'm up to date! Today, I start at the coal company. I'm once again working in the Finance department. This time, I have another intern with whom I can chit chat. She's really nice, a sister of a fellow here. I'm glad I get to have someone else my age here with me. ^^ It's been a
nice, slow day. After rientation, they gave us tedious stuff to do.
lol. Why am I not surprised? XD
For lunch, the other intern and I were treated to this Thai food place. I got the Curry something-something: it was tasty and spicy. Then for dessert, I ate something that the fellows with me were calling "Fish-eye" soup. It sorta did look... weird... But it too was very tasty. ^_^
Well, I guess it's time to get back to work. Fortunately, it's almost time to leave. Yay!! So that's been my life for the past 5 days or so. Now that I've got some free time because the skits are over with, I wonder what I'll do with the time... Maybe I'll get more shut-eye!
Take care everyone! I hope to visit you all soon and see what all I've missed! *many hugs*
