Job!
After a month (since school ended?) of looking for a job, finally found one after sending in countless resumes and cover letters. I remember 380 prof said something along lines of you apply to 10, will only get interview for ___, and for ____ (that amount), you will actually only get one. something liek that, idk. forgot the numbers.
but anyways, it's kinda true. cuz for the countless ones I applied to, got interviews for 3, rejected to 2, and finally got one in the end. For this one that I finally got, I forgot which day I applied, but my phone interview was on Sat (7/ 8), and got call back Mon (7/10). After filling out some online paperwork, and another call, finally went in stores today to meet the manager and complete the rest of the I-9 form, where I provided identification.
Surprised to see that C.L also works there. But actually, now thinking about it, I do have some faint memories of seeing it on Facebook I think. Haven't talked to her in so long, but it's nice having someone I know. Manager was really nice so that's swell.
My training begins Sat. Also will train/work all next week except Sun and Wed. Most of these end at start and end late (10pm). Not too excited about ending at 10pm, but I think I'll be ok though.
Hope all goes well!
I've been playing the piano a lot these days, like around 3 - 4 hours per day (except weekends). Mostly because I have nothing else better to do (jk, I realllly need to clean my room), but also because it really gets so addicting when you're playing something you enjoy. I can finally play 洗衣機 all the way through (been some time since I've played a whole piece lmao), and also got the chorus of 黃昏 down, not trying to slowly figure out the rest. Also been trying out 伴奏 stuff. For that, I have the chorus of 如果我們不曾相遇 down.
Besides piano, also really just been into music in general. Not that I wasn't into music before lol but I feel like I've been paying more attention to the whole composition. The arrangement and stuff.
I don't know why, maybe because I haven't been doing anything these days, but I keep wanting to start new projects. And they all kind of involve the creative aspect. For example, tried to code my own portfolio (even though I have no 'real' works lol) earlier, but have kinda put that aside...Definitely need more motivation to finish that.
Another thing I wanna try but have not started yet is some simple/minimalistic/modernism graphic design related stuff.
And one last thing is something I've just started putting down on physical form yesterday. Hopefully I can finish or at least have a rough draft before I run out of motivation. I've done this before, got some solid parts down, but lost the motivation, and then couldn't find the file on my [old] computer, so that's completely lost, and I absolutely can't remember any part of it. So yeah, starting another one of that.
Also kinda scary to see it's already about halfway through July...school's gonna come faster than I know it. Time passes way too fast. In 6 months and 5 days I will also no longer be a teenager. Honestly hella scary to think of that. Everytime I think about the future, and how much I have to accomplish in the very near future, scares me very badly. There's just so much change that will happen in these years to come, and thus so much uncertainty. As if I have no control over my own life...
