凌晨三點鐘

I’m really enjoying the courses I’m taking, and I realize I’m actually doing the readings out of pure interest, and not obligation. I’m hoping my midterms will be much smoother; it’s not that stressful either, though I’m doing six and six courses this school year.

It still amazes me how people know each other. I feel like last year I didn’t get to know enough people from across cultures, class, ages. This year I’m definitely getting more of that, as discussions really facilitate discussion and helps us get to know each other. The friendships I’m making this year are definitely more meaningful so far.

Another note on my most recent interview with CCP (commerce community program). Went pretty smooth: I find that interviews all have similar questions, with the exception of one extra unique question. In this case it was “if you could do one thing before the end of the day what would it be?” Caught me off guard but I realize my passion in education as I surprised myself by saying that I’d like to visit Africa to see the education programs implemented there to help them.

Today I got a call from the co-chair who recommended me to go for an interview for a similar position on another committee: “Building Success”, which was focused on helping graduates from downtown east side and teaching them about time management, business skills, confidence, and friendship. I didn’t know about this position, but it definitely sounds way more suitable than just internal coordinator for the Student Engagement Team (to get Sauder students more involved).

My wrists were feeling fine for a bit, even at work, but recently with more typing (notes, econ quizzes, etc), it’s starting to bother me again. Should go to acupuncturist again.
