Too Awesome for the job

So with exams coming to an end I decided to start applying for job
Bcoz the idea of going home and sitting around doing nothing for 11 weeks was enough to make me want to chew off my wrists. The excitement and genuine glee of going home and being reunited with the family is with no doubt appealing because I do miss them. But I know afta 2 weeks as it always does, we get back into normal routine and the novelty of being away wears off (you know how it goes). Soon you're arguing about the most petty of things, like dishes in the sink or why you're still in bed at noon ( because it's vac, but of course parents don't care)
So yes to avoid this, I'd get a job be productive and doing sum'n constructive wit my time AND I'd be making money ($_$)

Got potential leads, some dead ends, 'sorry we're not hiring' and some plain old scams (of course)
After a while got a call, "We want you to come interview with us". "Finally" I thought. Interview was for today, last two days have been nothing short of nerve wrecking. What will I wear, what will I say, etc.
The time had come, after one last "you're gonna be fine" pep talk in the mirror, I left my house all prepared and looking fabulous, ready to nail it.

Got to the venue, other candidates were also going to interviewed for the position (nerves creep back in) and I found out I'd be the last one.
Longest hour of my life and with each candidate going in, I felt as though my chances were slipping by. What I noted was that everybody looked alike, similar dark coloured suits/pencil skirts, black shoes. Hair in tight buns, brief cases and unfriendly expressions. While I was in my white A-line skirt with multi coloured flower detailing at the bottom,with a black blouse, tan high heels and a hot pink blazer. Yup I kinda stuck out
Also what I noticed was that the interviews were on the short side, people were in and out in about 10-12 minutes
Then I was up. I answered all of their questions, handled myself professionally as one should . Did not say anything out of the ordinary.
Someone on the panel asked me about my outfit and the mood kinda relaxed a bit and got a few laughs here and there. Asked them a few things about themselves and their time with the company.
I think I may have said I was awesome and that's why they should hire me at some point:-p
Then it was over and I felt good about my chances. Also when I walked out I noticed on the clock on the wall that I'd been in there for about 45 mins o_O

Just before I left, I was called back into the conference room. The lady in charge I think then tells me I was an outstanding candidate that I had interviewed well and that I'd be a great addition to the team and all these other really positive things. Then said though they were a bit worried that I'd get bored because they could see me completing the work and then having nothing to do. She said I might be a tad bit over qualified and that my personality was just too amazing to be 'trapped' here. Her colleague then said you're just too awesome(no lie) and we wouldn't want to be the company to hold you back nor would we want to be dropped by you if you decide after a month to leave. They said an office settting might not suit me, spending all that time indoors, filing reports, balancing ledgers and admin work

It's a bit bizarre. I mean those are good things I know and I'm flattered and consider such to be a great compliment. Though now I'm stuck, unsure of what to make of it. I mean could I really be kicked out of contention because of my skills but more than that, my personality of all things. Because I'm jus so fabulous and awesome ( yes I realise how conceited and narsissitic it sounds but that what they said)
We'll have to wait until tomorrow to know for sure

It would be so sad if I really was awful and they were just being super nice and trying to let me down gently o_o. Lol!
Haha, oh wow this life of mine though hey. Oh well another page for the biography :D

The Year I Forgot the Unforgettable

So I woke up in the morning, as I would on any other day. Cursing at myself for having hit the snooze button 3 too many times, so now again it is me against the clock. As always, I tell myself I need to quit this little habit and of course tomorrow will bring the same conversation with myself again and flew out the door in hopes I would make it on campus on time ( which I somehow do, I refuse to question how)

This day though day though felt odd. You know those days were you feel like you are forgetting something, or something is going to happen, but you just can't quite place you finger on it? Where there is just this nagging sensation that there is something about this day you should know.
Or worse yet, feeling like it's Friday when it's actually really Tuesday?!

I had gotten through half my day on campus and got to my last lecture of the day where we were greeted by a pop quiz ( just great roll eyes ) . It was not until when I sat down to jot down my name and date on the paper that I found out WHY this day was soo odd!

It was the 3rd of September. THE 3rd of SEPTEMBER!! I could not believe it!! I had forgotten the unforgettable!

I had forgotten my own BIRTHDAY!!

The realization and utter disbelief of what day I had forgotten set in, I had no choice but to start laughing laugh
I mean who forgets their OWN birthday. Wow doh
I usually make such a HUGE fuss about the day. I'm usually the annoying girl telling everybody about her birthday two months in advance!

As I got over that, I started thinking, "wait a minute, why hasn't anyone called or texted to say 'Happy Birthday'?". "Have they all forgotten?" I started thinking, then I got sad. Then I realized why that was; I had left my mobile at home! frustrated

I got home and found my friends camped out in front of my gate with balloons and cake ( and slightly annoyed faces because they could not get hold of me, sorry bouquet) I love them!We found my cell phone under my pillow. I remember it had beeped a couple of times the previous night and I promised myself I would get up to charge it and of course I passed out.
After sticking it in the charger and turning it on, did I realize, I was the only one who forgot grin


The text messages, missed calls and e-mails from loved ones were pretty cool!
A special thank you to everyone who wished me happy bday. Even a few from the site. Thanks guys it was awesome ( well from what I remember and what the pictures from the night and everybody else it telling me)

Let's never forget it again shall we!!blushing


Oooooh and icing on top, some representative from etv called today and told me I won some competition I entered goodness knows when. I'm not getting my hopes too high, just in case it's a scam but I'm kinda optimistic it'll be real. That would just beyay

Quote of My Day

Doing some reading and came across this quote and it struck me:

"You cannot teach a poor spirit to be rich" - Robert Kiyosaki

Some people are living in absolute spiritual and mental poverty!

Free At Last, Free At Last!!

Free at last, free at last! Thank God Almighty I am free at Last!!
That is just one week I was too eager to get done with and it just never seemed like the end would make an appearance anytime soon. The struggle to keep myself motivated was incredible. The temptation to simply give in and give up was worse!
The sleepless nights. The dashes between the test venue, then the library, then my place for a quick shower ( and maybe a nap, that could never last more than an hour), attend lectures, then back to the library, had me in such a vicious cycle of insanity that threatened to cause my brain to explode. So much data to be consumed, absorbed, processed, understood and converted into meaningful information, that of course would be rendered useless if I did not find a way to retain it and regurgitate on demand! moping

It's in these times where one's faith comes into play in a big way ( well mine did). Suddenly remembering my grandmother always saying, that in hard times one must always keep strong and and focused. remember why you are even fighting at all. There are plenty other people in the world who are going through far worse than you can imagine and many more have gone through what you are going through right now ( without any complaints mind you). God would never give you more than you can handle, she would say, and you my little piglet have very broad shoulders ( whatever that meant,I thought, you know old people and their nonsensical wisdom).

As I thought of her, I started to think that hey, maybe God thinks I can handle a heck of a lot. Because here I am, 7 tests in five consecutive days plus 2 assignments, but yeah here I am still standing!
This was one hell of a week. I really don't think I would wish it on anyone, not even people I don't particularly like.
I'm just glad I made it and I feel amazing about the work I put in and am anticipating great results!applause
This studying business is not "hard" but it is by no measure easy either. It has its moments. Mad respect to those who have done before me bowing and to those who are still in it, like me, hold on and keep pushing. Nothing more amazing than looking back on what you once thought you could not do and being on the other side smiling at how silly that was because here you are now on the other sideyaybanana

Now I can enjoy a lazy weekend in bed, crack open an ice cold beer and breathe a sigh of relief, because I am Free at last , Free at Last. Thank Almighty God , I am Free at Last!!

..... 'til the next horror week of course wink

Motivation Needed

My dreaded test week is upon me (writing tests Mon to Fri this week).
I know very well I should be studying but the mind numbing allure of the internet, particularly YouTube has me firmly in its grasp. The weird thing is I don't feel as panicked as I should be. I mean I know I know my work,but I don't want to be so arrogant and later end up with egg on my face.
I am finding everything else far more interesting than my desk (including spring cleaning my house and sorting my books in alphabetical order according to title, then later according to author)
*sigh*
Fairy Godmother, this would the perfect time for you to magically appear, freak me out, then wave your wand to make me calm down and persuade me to put the cricket bat down and convince me you are here to help me. Then of course you get me to study or just make me know everything ( whichever is quickest). Then disappear and erase any memory I may have of you ( I know would tell the whole world about you and I doubt you want that. Also the world may not believe me and I'd look like a crazy, deluded maniac, we don't want that either).

....yeah this madness must come to an end. Let's go do this study thing sigh

Walking On Sunshine

Some days are just simply better than most and sometimes we don't know why and sometimes we just do not care!
Today was just one of those days where I had an unbelievably good day. Nothing significant happened, but in its very simplicity, it was a great day.
I woke up on time ( for a change), didn't have to hit snooze for an hour , then get upset and curse when I realize i am late ( as i usually do). Left my place in time and got to campus with 15 mins to spare ( I'm usually 15 mins late). I genuinely enjoyed and understood my lectures (even Maths 305, I know right!). Yes today I was that person putting up their hand asking questions (even corrected an equation he did) and actively getting into discussions with the rest of the class.
Finally got around to getting myself headphones, after two (very miserable) weeks of walking 3.8 km to campus everyday in silence and having to entertain people I did not want to talk to because I could not pretend not to hear or see them! These headphones are amazing, put 'em on and the whole world just disappeared and it felt like I was in my own extended music video! Music has never sounded sooo good! Even the songs I never play and always skip sounded like chart toppers! Went as far as busting a move in one lecture, then of course reality sunk in, the world had not gone away. Only I was lost in my little world. Got some crazy looks, but who cares I was having a good time. Certainly had a bounce in my step, as though I was walking on sunshine one might say, hehe.
On my walk back home (with my magnificent headphones in tow),I ran into my ex-boyfriend (really Jesus? Really really) but instead of playing like we don't know each other as we usually do, I smiled and waved hellowave and kept moving. Met a sweet old lady who said I had a pretty smile :)
Got home and my landlord's dogs tackled me to the ground (usually I would have a screaming match with him telling him to keep his darn "horses" locked up) and yet today? Well today the dogs and I played "who's a good boy?" and "who wants a belly rub?" haha.

This little debut blog of mine is in no way going to be deep, provoke your thoughts or even add any momentous value to your life
I am just having an awesome day, absolutely nothing special about this day. Just one of those days where one is simply grateful for the small things and taking every opportunity to acknowledge how good life can be if you want it to be :) Just how good it feels to just smile for no reason
I pray this mood finds you toobanana
