NOW!
Yes, I want to talk to somebody....
NOW!
well since you asked so nicely, and politely...
Seriously. What is happening with this nation? Why aren't parents teaching their children common manners and courtesy? A please or thank you?
Or am I just one of the few left? One of the lucky ones whose parents drilled into their brains how to be courteous and treat people with respect.
I do find it quite hilarious how when people are trying to get something from somebody, they act in a rude and inconsiderate manner. People are more inclined to help someone if they are polite and nice.
And also- "NOW" girl ... FYI: the only person who can speak to me like that is my mother, and chances are she's only speaking to me like that because i'm being a dink and/or ignoring her. And that hasn't happened in about ... 3 years.
don't worry, I gave the "NOW" girl a nice and polite response, where I descibed to her how I didn't appreciate the way she was speaking to me.
and then she hung up on me.
Am I ambitious? Or Just a dreamer...
I've always had low self esteem.
That is something I've come to terms with over the past few years.
Meeting me, one would probably never know it.
I don't really talk too much about it.
But it's there.
I think it's due to a majority of things:
growing up being the tall awkward kid with glasses that none of the guys ever talked to, my brother & his friends making fun of me at school, having beautiful friends that always drove the guys crazy.
As a teenager, I let it get in the way of making decisions.
I had to be pushed by people to do things.
I didn't even want to apply to university because I thought I had a terds luck of getting in. Only 150 kids accepted into the program I wanted. Why would they pick me?
"Just try and see ..." my mother would say.
And i did.
And i got it.
But since then some things have changed.
I have this whole new mentality if ... If you never try, you'll never know.
And that's what I did for my internship.
I sent out oodles of applications across the US hoping one would bite. One did, but I didn't want it. And the one I wanted the most, The Today Show, never even acknowledged me. I sent two applications. I e-mailed the coordinator.
Nada.
And it's not like I don't have the experience or capability. Because I do. I think it's the whole "she goes to a school in another country that we've never heard of" that scared them off.
it just sucks.
when you want something so bad and you don't get it.
I can't even begin to explain how much I wanted this.
And I was initially afraid to send off my resume because of this.
BUT I have no regrets. I think it would have bothered me even more if I didn't ship it out.
Thoughts racing around my mind .. well what if I had...?
Because if you never try, then you'll never know.
And Everything does happen for a reason.
Good and bad, it does.
To teach us a lesson, to shape us, to show us, to help us grow.
This just wasn't meant to be.
But the good news is, I did get an internship.
One considered amazing over here in my country.
So perhaps someday I'll work my way up to The Today Show and that internship -- just wasn't meant to be.

off with your head?
By now I am sure that the majority of you reading this read/saw this story on the news:
http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/470970
I just don't even know what to say about this.
I can't imagine being on that bus. I say to myself -- why didn't anyone throw their luggage at him or a computer or something ...
but then i think .. well shit you're in shock. your instinct would be to run right?
I think WTF pretty much sums that up.
WTF was that man thinking, WTF happened? .. a whole bunch of WTF's that I need answered.
