Today,long day

Start up the morning with studying for HDFS exam I'll be having at 12.40pm. Found out 3 hours before the exam that there was an extra chapter covered.

After looking at genitals close up with/without STI/STDs from studying for HDFS,, I head over to McD's for a quick lunch... My appetite wasn't fazed... maybe because I was too hungry.

Exam went well... can only hope for the best since the answers were either confusing or relatively close to one another.

At ChE lab, had to stare at how a Multiple Effects Evaporator works. Somehow kept spelling it as "Mass Effect Evaporator"Too much games/ mass effect exposure me thinks. Lab was 4 hours long.. but it felt longer than usual today. Hardly moving much.... just staring at condensing water vapors dropping into a reservoir. Outside? Hardly any different with the rain.

Now, falling sick? Feverish...too much rain... too wet... should sleep...

Straight up

Heard this song while eating at McD's for lunch~ Haven't heard it in ages!

Straight up, now tell me
Do you really wanna love me forever
Oh, oh, oh
Or am I caught in a hit-and-run?
Straight up, now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together
Oh, oh, oh
Or are you just havin' fun?

Favors?

Been doing a bunch of favors/volunteer work/donations recently. Though I can't help feeling like it's been forgotten. People who hardly talk to me will suddenly send me a message for help and after helping them, disappears again into the shadows... never to be heard or seen again until the next time they require my assistance.

Even if they do try to repay the favor... I can't seem to bring myself to accept their gratitude. Felt like I didn't really earn it even if I spent countless hours of my time on helping them. Even a small gift would be hard to accept. Treating me with food for my sacrifices made me even more uneasy as it usually involves a restaurant and me sitting in front of that individual feeling like I didn't do enough to deserve this. On the other hand if it was food that I really like (ie. pineapple tarts) I would gladly accept it with a thick face.

Looking at myself I realized that I too am like them(asking favors and disappearing) sometimes. I guess this could be a reason why I avoid asking for help and feeling indebted to others.

Flattered

"I'm flattered"

"You flatter me"

"You're flatter than that TV screen"

The English language and be weird sometimes...

Flat :- Something without bumps/ smooth even surface*

Flatter :- A comparison of flat stuff?*

Flattered :- Past tense of 'Flatter' ??*

How and who came up with these words??

*Not actual definitions from the dictionary

Career Fair Fall 2010

It's that time again but it's different this time for me.

Usually I would just print out my resume on plain A4 paper with a cheap pathetic portfolio (cardboard paper) to bring with me.

This time, none of that cheap stuff. I'm serious this time. Special resume paper, with leather portfolio!

End result? Unknown and uncertain...

Overall this semester's career fair in general was horrid. Though it's better than the one during spring this year where about 50% of the registered companies couldn't turn up because of a blizzard. This year, because of the August floods in Ames, most of the usual indoor locations could not be used to cater this year's career fair. Instead, makeshift temporary tents were used and placed on uneven grounds.

Yea, this might seem like a good idea at first.... IF IT'S NOT RAINING THE WHOLE GADDAMN DAY! In the tent, the ground is covered with some plastic-fur-like-carpeting yet water seeps through with each step on it. As mentioned before, the ground below the carpeting isn't actually flat. There are uneven surfaces and areas where rain water collects. One wrong step and there goes your shoes. I'm pretty sure many who wore high heels or flip flops that day were not enjoying it one bit.

I thought it's been long enough for the indoors of Fisher/Hilton to be dried out and cleaned out. Guess not...

What impression does this give the registered companies towards ISU?

A plus side though is that since it's raining, cool air was being blown in the tents sardined with people. If wasn't cool enough, I'm sure people will be complaining about the heat instead... So either ways, hot or cold, TENTS MUST GO.

It's a sad day indeed

Career fair today and it's raining/wet

There was a flash flood warning which could dampen the hopes of many students/graduates

....and the season of exposed skin is over!

Good thing there's HIMYM

Stuff I wish I could write in a professional paper
