Hobbies

It's been two weeks again.

The Microsoft interview went decent I thought. Although I think I may have failed the first one, the latter few went relatively alright. Hopefully I get hired. If not, I don't know what else to do.

So the Europe trip is coming up. I'm planning to buy a new camera for that. A Fujifilm Finepix F30. Went to Scarborough Town Center for tax forms the other day and went to Black's. I was wavering between the Finepix F30 and the new Canon SD 1000 Elph. The Canon SD Elph was nice, but the Finepix seemed to have a better sensor array and take better pictures overall. So right now I decided on the Finepix F30 even though it looks like a block, I've heard that it feels solid in the hand. At Black's, the sales rep there went through a complete transformation after I started talking about the Fuji products. She's like a fangirl for Fuji products. However, Black's didn't carry Fuji products unless its by special order. Talked for a while about how bad corporate management is and the lack of marketing for Fuji products. Had a really good time talking to her because she seems to know what she was talking about. Anyways, the Fujifilm Finepix F30 it is. 2GB xD card too.

In other news, no other news yet. Went over to Joe's and talked about stuff while watching the Senators vs. Devils game. He made a good observation. I don't really have any hobbies. I have: a) RPG games/DOTA/ Gaming in general b) Manga/Anime c)Monopoly/Scrabble d) Poker e)Alternative History/Sci-fi/Fantasy fiction. Also, there's psychoanalysis and just thinking, which tends to be solo activities. Hmm, can't really get into most music except obscure little bands that I can't seem to remember half the time.

So anyways, I think that a relationship between two people have to have at least some element of commonality. Joe disagrees. Meh. I'll thresh this idea out later.

Well. Don't know what I'll do tomorrow or later. But hopefully I'll get good news.

It's time to start again.

I guess my blood has been calling out to leave some more memories or feelings or some other inner person stuff here so I don't have to deal with it. It's nothing special, but it is a procedure for me to do. It also helps that I'm semi-bored nowadays.

Just check the exam. I think this is the first time I overstudied for an exam. Because I overstudied, I used techniques that were incorrect because I was overthinking the problem. Doesn't that annoy the hell out of me. Understudied, I can get. Overstudied? I feel stupider for even doing it.

Anyways. I believe I am intensely attracted to the whole concept of tsundere girls. Perhaps its just because I like the concept of a challenge? Or maybe it fits my idea of romance? Who knows. But meh, we aren't all lucky enough to get what we need, much less what we want. Only time would tell. What a passive sounding answer. But fortune favors the prepared, even though disappointment follows the hopeful.

Boy. That was total emo right there. Maybe I should cut back on the apathy and angst that's left over from my teenage years. Oh well. It's been a good five years, even if it isn't the best. But then again, good is a lot better than bad.

Next up, Microsoft Interview on the 23rd and Trip starting on the 8th.

So....what now?

Well. 414 marks got released. I passed, but the mark for that course is better left unsaid. Much worse than I expected.

Not that it really matters now I suppose.

So I finish my last ECE exam. Only 1 left and I consider that one a joke. So I'm probably going to spend very little time on it.

Have you ever trained with weights. Like power wrists and ankle weights? After you take them off, you get a refreshing feeling. You feel lighter to the point of feeling like you could fly. I guess that's how I feel about exams. It's over and my hardest exams are done. All I have left is freedom, and its a heady feeling. But then again, I sometimes feel like something is missing. Like some type of external motivation of some sort.

Sometimes I feel bored. Sometimes I wonder if my life likes to play with my emotions like this.

On another hand. My dreams have just become weird. And studying for an interview takes hard work. Sigh.

Back to studying. This time for the interview.

414.

Sigh. 414 did not go well. This is just an update post.

There was a whole bunch of stuff I was planning to write before, but I have forgotten it, unfortunately.
