Week Zero
Sunday, September 21st, 2008Hiya everyone,
Can you believe that school is starting this Thursday? And, technically, this week is called “week zero” which is full of events and activities for new incoming students as well as returning students. It’s crazy.
On September 14th, I left my first job. I felt really sad doing it since I had been there for a year and some months. I guess I got attached to it even though I remembered I really disliked the people and the job itself. But, somehow it grew on me and I couldn’t see myself leave. But, I had to because I was planning on finding a job near UCLA (or in UCLA) and I would be living there and did not want to commute back and forth. But, I did promise I’d visit.
Another bit of sad news is my laptop went weird/crazy to the point it wouldn’t work anymore. Whenever the laptop would go to sleep, it would not wake up. It would light up but the screen would continue to be blank (dark). Anything I pressed would not wake it up. Then, when I forced it to shut down (after many tries trying to wake it up), I would start it back up but the screen would still be blank. You can hear it start up with the Windows music and everything, but the screen would stay blank. Unfortunately, I had to take it a Toshiba repairs shop and it’s been two days now. I miss it.
On my job hunt, I’ve emailed plently of people asking to apply for the position. I did get some replies back asking for resumes but, after that I haven’t got much back. I wish my resume would look better. I don’t have much skills or experience — especially since the jobs I applied for are mostly office jobs and they would want people with experience with office.. Well, I had an interview but I don’t think I got the job. I really hope I can get a job soon. I would hate to have to work in the restaurant business again — I’d like to gain experience with the office…
