New Adventure


So last week i applied for ASUCI Student Services Intern. Honestly, i couldn't tell you why i did it, i just did. i just thought it would be another fun thing to do and get involved in. to be completely honest, it was something i wanted that badly or needed to be apart of, you know. i did the whole ASB thing is high school and i promised myself that i wouldnt need it to be a part of my life in college. But then, i saw some spopheads randomly in the student center filling out applications and i was like damn i should do it too, interviews are fun anyway....SERIOUSLY i love interviews, what better way to say how amazing I AM than in an interview! haha just kidding but seriously i love interviews because i get better at speaking and expressing myself with each one. i turned in my application, which by the way did not give me enough room to answer adequately, i think, but somehow i got an interview, then i found out everyone got interviews. Mine was Monday October 20, 2008 @ 1pm.


The day came, and i wasn't nervous, until i got outside the office. it was a group interview [i''m good at those, just like spop] but i still did not know what to expect, i was going in blind. the were 2 other guys in my group, they asked us to write what commission we wanted to work under, i chose SPIRIT. the interview started, first question..."you're ideal mate"...second question, "why the commission you chose"...third question "do you have any other commitments that might hinder your job performance"...fourth question "why should we hire you and why shouldnt we"<~~why should they...all the answers someone would/should give...why shouldn't they....my answer...WHY WOULDN'T YOU?!? haha! interview over....i walked out feeling relieved and so-so...i really questioned if i wanted the position if they gave it to me...am i going to be devoted, can i really put more of my time into another extra-curricular...what will it be like, will i like it? what if i dont really want it, then i'm taking someone's spot that does want it... sooo many questions but in the end...I GOT IT!

i was at dinner FRASER calls, says hey did you check asuci yet...me NO...fraser...let me save you the trip, you got it! me OMG!!!! yay!!!! my joy and excitement at that moment was unexplainable...i guess i really did want it, reactions dont lie!

I am about to embark on a new adventure in my life. The 1st ASUCI student services meeting has come and gone, and it has just gotten me more excited to get into the SWING of things! the first meeting was so funny, SOOOO many spopheads in one room, kinda reminded me of spop all over again, we all sat in each other's vacinity and we all applied together, i was sooo comfortable and i was so ready. I am SOOO Ready!

i can't wait to start this new adventure and see where it takes me! I hope its somewhere really amazing!

no reason to frown

I love the simple things that life has to offer. I came up with a list that really fills my heart with joy and happiness.

It's a long list because there are so many things that make me happy, which i think makes me less high maintainence! I wish i could have these things all the time and whenever i want them.
I write about learning, growing, and living and how i am so much better. i wanted to compile this list to remind myself of all the things good in my life!

i hope you enjoy it and i recommend creating a list like this because when you have bad days or off days, this list will help you remember to look out for the good things that make you smile!
