is what i want to say
what i HAVE to say is
i DIDNT get the job due to scheduling conflicts
why? i cant work three days a week
even if i work TWO full days and like two hours the third day
......
the email says...ill go and quote it too
"We are currently looking for full-time and part-time workers. We are open Monday to Friday. We work around your schedule. For example, you can work once a week or up to five times a week. Just let us know your schedule week to week. We are very flexible."
guess not as flexible as i want them to be
but their reasoning is good
flexible tutors = MORE tutors = they have to pay us more
ok lets talk about this place that i applied to
its called VIP ENGLISH ACADEMY
i didnt know it was run by korean people until i checked their website yesterday night
why? didnt i check? i just didnt...no reason
so anywayS~ its on seymour and like dunsmuir (sp?) and its really a convenient place to work at
i mean the skytrain is lik half a block away and if i was bored enough i could take the 20 in front of my house and end up at the entrance
so so ~ RAMA my contact person who is a WOMAN and is korean i dont get why she didnt give me her last name in the emails
RAMA KIM gives me the idea that shes korean
but RAMA by itself either gave me an idea of like an African or something around there
OR japanese ~
by anyWAYS! (just to bother you WESLEY!)
so yeah ~ i DID get the job ~ i suppose that is a confidence booster
i mean she asked me if i had international friends...i somewhat do i think?
but yeah shes lik ok thats good
so technically the only requirement for this job is practically KNOW how to speak english and be patience
english i got ~ patience i can work on ....
so yeahhh..since am so GUNG HO about telling people to reflect about their lives
i started reflecting the MOMENT i left the interview room
i actually WANT this job
koreans ~ are not bad to talk to ...heck i was just watchin korean dramas yesterday night
and by three episodes i got back my slight interest in their language
but yeah ~ talk about the place a lil bit more is that theres 16 tutors...apparently ALL of them are internationals..meaning they are koreans and have either graduated or are still in schoool
so i would be the FIRST non as much international compare to them
that was goood
and then she went over what i had to do ....
which is pretty easy
GROUP setting = 1 tutor : 3 students
things i go over?
tongue twisters
slang/idioms
role play
games
i can do that ~
if its 1 on 1 its all up to the student what they want to talk about
all i have to do is correct mistakes/pronunciation/ and write down the sentences that they use and then go over it afterward with them
i can SO do this ~ and koreans i can stand them
BUT this is what i get
scheduling conflicts?
at first it was just ONE day
and then shes lik..hmmmm need more
so i gave her TWO days and went far enough to give her my wed
so tech i would be working THREE days a week
with two FOUR credit classes and one three ~
sure there are people out there that are doing it
ie LEWIS who is cool in all ways
which i aint ~ he's last sem am first sem
so yeahhhhh i cant do that
even with what i offered i still got no response
so that was it....
she did say to apply again when my schedule is more open ie 4th yr? or in january
she did seem slightly upset that i couldnt work
so confidence boost? not really
SO ! i got out of the building by 9:57
my interview was scheduled at 10:00
i got off the skytrain at 10:08
and all this time i been reflecting
POSITIVES? i got the job! wheeee but yeah i qualified
that it
negatives for myself?
no money once again
cant buy stuff NOR save up
so its STILL outcome and no income
God response?
how i feel now is that God is trying to say something to me
-i can only work ONE day a week
which means practically all RETAIL is out for me
i mean they would make me work crazy
-i should stop spending needlessly
sorry am a materialistic
its the way of growing up with nothing much and the fact that now i CAN buy i DO buy
i guess....after 10 calendar/UVERworld concert dvd/epik high album
ill stop
i dont even buy like blu-rays/games/manga anymore
rarw!
SO ill summarize
what i been thinking
i need to spend my time wisely
i need to stop spending
i need to study more
TIME - is lik smackin me in the face
as in the thing that i am worst at using
its lik wht my mom always says
spend time as if it was ur money
once gone its gone ~ you cant get more
i actually want to work at that place
after WINSTON college
i want to work and CARE about other people that requires care
i say this and yet people say i dont care about my brother
haha ~ the irony
i have someone in my face to care about and yet it seems to others i dont care
oh wells
but yeah that is another reason why i dont want to work retail
you dont really give a crap about a customer
SURE if a customer comes in you care for them for THAT moment
once they leave its over
i dont know what to do
KEEP MOVING FORWARD
that all i know
help me save me
