Resume Writing ... ugh

Creating...updating...editing my resume is frustrating.

Everyone has their own input on what they think should be on a resume and at the end of the day I just get worn out and pissed off.

I once met a recruiter (who was at every conference I went to last year) who wanted to see references at the bottom, then another recruiter said no. Parents say one thing, professors say another, mentors say something else, recruiters say another - its a mess!

Finding the common denominator amongst the algebraic chaos has never been so hard! And I HATE math!

I'm suppose to be going out of town this week for the MEAC basketball tournament and thanks to the death of my computer's hard drive (another one bites the dust) I am making use of Morgan's unaccommodating computer lab times to get myself hired!

Why dont the computers NOT IN THE LAB have Microsoft office? grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!! But I digress...

I am currently waiting for the lab to reopen at 6pm because it just closed at 4:45...smh

Late last week I got an email inviting me to apply for a position in Raleigh, NC (thats all the info I'm giving out right now...don't wanna jinx it!) so I'm working to meet that deadline - which is fastly approaching - along with another deadline for the Baltimore Orioles.

As long as I see there are possiblities things don't look so grim.

School is an absolute SNORE.

Trust me I have senioritis at its worst! With the snow day last week, I barely made it to any classes using the student publications office as my haven for other work. Like my
awesome internship (you're jealous. i know.)

Next week is midterm week. And then spring break. And before you know it, April is here. The last month of school for seniors. Kind of bittersweet.

I need it all to slow down so I can regroup and get my mind together and get my butt back in classes! sMh...

3 Months to Go!

Monday officially made it 3 months to graduation.

Exciting. Right?

Meh. I guess but I'm still clueless.

Today we had a meeting in the Student Center, "Senior Summit", with the update 411 blah blah blah, stuff ya need to know because you'll be asking later.

Sooooo how about, the "ring guy" (no, not Jostens) came in for a minute to talk about rings and only mentioned up to 10K. Then some girl, who seemed to be disgusted by this fact asked, "YOU ONLY HAVE UP TO 10 KARATS?!" This is when everyone turns and gives her the "wtF?" face.

Exxxxxxcccuuuussssseeee me, Miss Only-24-Karats-touch-my-body! We're only buying CLASS rings here. Not our damn wedding rings! You can calm that sadiddy BS RIIIGHT DOWN!

Lmao yea...i'm hatin that she probably has money to pay for a $500+ class ring! Shoot, I'm still trying to figure out how to pay for February's rent AND March! sMh...

Oh, and did you know we have to pay for cap and gowns?!


Why is this a shock to me?

BECAUSE I JUST GAVE MORGAN $75 IN JULY TO APPLY TO GRADUATE!! WTF DO YOU NEED ANOTHER $41 FOOOR?!?!

So, what did the $75 go to? Not to pay the people who had to go through and make sure I'm cleared to graduate. Nah. It goes to the stage I must walk across to get my degree and the chairs I must sit uncomfortably in 3 hrs before I can get to the stage!! sMh. Just mail my degree! Good grief.

Now I'm in the pursuit of finding $41 by March 1. Morgan will definitely gag when I just walk in my Sunday's best! (come as you are!!!)

And why did this girl get nasty with me because she didn't see the flyer for senior portraits last semester? Sweetheart, its 2009! You better get with the times! WHO ISN'T ON FACEBOOK?! sMh...If MY MOM knows how to activate a myspace account, YOU my friend, should be on facebook. Especially if you're trying to be down with the college life!

sMh.

One more thing. I'm sitting here trying to do this computer lit assignments (you know, trying not to procrastinate even though they're due next tuesday). Why are there like 9 different assignments? And one of them is to "define a thumbnail and its dimensions". {straight face}

I hate this bullshit.
