i’m a martini.
21|June|2008
and i’m friends w/ mainly margaritas and manhattans
“Shaken, not stirred.” It shouldn’t be a surprise that you join the ranks of the classiest idols who down their tipple straight up. Like your signature cocktail, you’ve got grace and sophistication to spare. Timeless and never tacky, you’re not the type to fall for passing fads just because all the crowds are doing it. So just what is it about you? It’s called “class,” and you’ve got more than enough. And what’s even better is that you achieve your level of understated elegance without coming off as snooty (well, at least not all the time).
People might be intimidated because you definitely are the whole package, but once they get to know you, they quickly realize that you’re just as nice as you are cool. Cheers, darling!
i’m not sure i want to be a martini though… :-/
bleh to the stats…
19|June|2008
as my ‘last’ class i have to take stats. this class is over and done with TOMORROW. well no, tomorrow i get my final then i send it back in on Saturday by midnight EST so…11 for me. which sucks cos it totally consumes my whole day. more like a mean of 5.5 hours w/ a standard deviation of 1.5 hrs. bahahhahaha like i know what that means and if i do so God help me scour this social science out of me.
ok so here’s the deal: if i PASS this class then this should be the last course i EVER have to register for at cornell. if i don’t i’m doomed.
once stats is in the past I have to take an Econ prelim and final…awesome? i can’t wait, I even bought new shoes eek!!!!!!
yeah.
then.
I have to finish like 11 cases and 11 labs and book report. both for dr. breen. she must hate me. the woman has a heart of gold and it’s sooo big it’s why she’s so short. Her huge heavy heart stunted her growth as a child…errr young adult…errr whatev, you know what i’m getting at. She’s a sweetie and i owe her a ton and half plus my first born if i ever have one.
once that is done: AUGUST. I’ll be done with school FOR-EEEEVEEEERRRRRR. And to celebrate i’m gonna sleep. yes. i’ve decided i’m going to lower the temperature in my apt. make some cocoa and watch season 3&4 of house and pass out for like at the very least: 14.5 hours. Then wake up w/ a huge headache, the type you only get out of being in bed for ‘THAT’ long and not have moved. am i psyched? well…i only had to take 2 horse tranquilizers to calm me down.
yeah well til then, everything else is on hold.
later my homebodies 
On Wednesdays we wear pink!
28|May|2008
guess who’s been watching Mean Girls? over and over and over again??? yeah, I know many lines to the movie now. I can’t tell if my goal is to learn the whole movie or just avoid having to mess with the dvd player. yeah so as if that wasn’t bad enough i did some research and guess what i found:
yes, i disappoint myself with what i care to know. actually the vid is a hoax, which totally got me all sad for a while there.
in other news i went to some marriott joints to apply as front desk/sales/breakfast personnel. OH! andandAND: i went to open interviews for starbucks yesterday and i totally didn’t get hired. What is this world coming to when anyone can get a job at starbucks but me? they basically said: we don’t like that you’re a student and therefore at high risk of fleeing the country when starbucks needs you the most. coffee so hurts my feelings now, and after how dependent i let myself get on it? sadness.
grocery story
14|May|2008
on wednesdays the Austin Statesman features food and yes the grocery store ads come out (of the closet haha) that day! which i love. I like to see ads cos they’re so neutral in content. and it makes me monday and tuesday go by faster. ok ok so enough of that. this wednesday i took a trip to sun harvest, which is owned by Whole Foods (a lot of ppl are shocked to find this out). Anyways, so i try to go grocery shopping on double ad wednesdays.
Today i bought:
Almond butter (creamy…i already have a crunchy one),
little bags of frozen fruit (blueberry…AND organic but on sale so i said ok),
yogurt
Yesterday I bought:
tofu and alfalfa
and makeup although really i only went for eyeliner…
and i also picked up this to hopefully help me pay for all of it:
but in all honesty i miss my discount. you know my paycheck would only be redeposited into the company in exchange for more skirts, shirts, blouses, underwear and pants, then there are also pj’s and umbrellas. if everyone were like me the economy would be flourishing. i know it.
looks fade, don’t get attached
8|May|2008
today ashton kutcher was on ellen and he was talking about being very beautiful. poor ashton, i can see his beauty weighs him down. i think if he were to move towards being sexy rather than beautiful he’d see his load lighten up some.
in other news: the interview….nope still not employed. it’s ok. when i interviewed the first time the schedule was 8-6 w/ an hour lunch. that’s 45 hours a week. i dunno about that. well actually i know it’s not for me. Although the job itself sounded pretty sweet, and the people i’d be working seem really cool too it’s still 45 hours a week for the people that i DON’T work with. So, so far, i am appreciative of the opportunity to interview because it helped me realize how much the work schedule is to me. So Retail: check (hella fessible) and AdLucent very atypical firm and you know they mention liberal hours on their ad. i think that makes me more productive. i know that much about myself. i need a period to get away, recharge and return refreshed.
so where else have i applied: Wholefoods! as a planner of private label inventory…yes my forte: PRIVATE LABELS i’m HUGE on exclusivity and planning heck yes. that job is no longer posted but this is the summary of the next job i’ll be applying for:
General Summary
Responsible for development and leadership of the team, tools and culture of space planning and planogramming in support of the global and regional procurement teams. Must be decisive, driven, and have proven success in coordinating efforts and deliverables to make an immediate financial and operational impact.
we’ll see. it’s wholefoods. i’m not gonna get too excited or hopeful either. but anything that offers me a discount is sure to make me a loyal slave to them. so, may not be the best for my personal well being. mk homebodies i have to get to the gym now that i found out that i’m still paying for it.
PEACE OUT HOMEBODIES ps. looks fade dont get attached!
wk. no. 19 AND cinco de mayo
5|May|2008
ok so back when rose (my-best-friend-from-seattle) came to visit me we got bff shoes.
we even had a photo shoot:
so today i went out hunting for shoes because i have an interview tomorrow and…not like i need shoes but hey? i scored an interview off of an interview: let’s celebrate that. so i decided to get black slingbacks…bffs in black to be precise. i called rose and she gasped (WHILE at work!! she should resign out of shame and move out to texas and be with me! as punishment of course)
ok so speaking of celebrating Sun Harvest my favoritist of grocery stores ever, is having a special on avocados to celebrate cinco de mayo. i totally jumped on that boat and loaded up on them. i had a BOWL of guac w/ chips for dinner. i felt like i was five and mom was out of town so dad let me decide what to eat for dinner. soooo bad but ohh soooo goooood!!
so today i registered for 4 more miserable hours of class EVER. yes it’s a little sad…but it’s ok, but still sad.
¡viva distance learning! i did distance learning last summer and it was pretty sweet. i wish i had done ALL of my schooling with certain liberties. like getting to eat during exams. this time i get to bring my pet w/ me to class…
and as for the cats: i named them today!
yes, that means, i acknowledge their existence now. so the gray one is ‘blue’ the white one is ’shady’ and the orange one is ‘leia’ as in…the princess because she is…in an annoying way. ok well peace out!
looking into those eyes reminds me why she gets to live rent free…
ADLUCENT CALLED ME?!!!
1|May|2008
actually no, they didn’t call. they more so left a comment on a previous blog entry for me to call them. i totally thought they were done w/ making paper airplanes with the resumes not approved. YAY! i made an impact or at least…i got a blog visit. seriously this blog makes me nervous :-/ but…i emailed them back yay!!!!
just fyi: adlucent’s office is aia honored. this in itself doesn’t reflect on their company directly or their work but i like bragging rights like that. i mean we spend a 1/3 of our lives at our workplace so it’s nice that they invested into the office space.
ok my brother’s in th’ house! so we’re gonna go make a run to our neighborhood home depot so we can raw up my apt. i’m talking cinder blocks, unfinished wood, and big nuts and bolts that are sooo big they intimidate the baddest of the border gangs muahaha
peace out homebodies!
1 day to go…
29|April|2008
so tomorrow is my last day at CDA. i think i can deal with that. i’m ready to start something new. I’m not sure how long it will take to start that something new or even WHERE it will be. lately, i’ve been obsessed with this though…i’m not sure how long the obsession will last. i actually found tyler james because i was looking for the song “Your Woman” by White Town, but then i found this guy that so strongly reminds me of none other than Jake Gyllenhaal (drool). yeah ok i have to go. tomorrows my last day and i want to leave with a phenomenal impression! actually, i’m working on an SF 330 oodles of fun…so much fun i’ll probably restraining devices just to maintain my composure.
later homebodies!
interviews: check.
28|April|2008
ok so my interviews are over and done with. which is nice, cos i was getting soo HONGRY!!! I’m glad Kelley was there. I was comfortable with that. She’s a great interviewer, which i had expected, but i felt like it was my little sister interviewing and i dunno it was just a such a warm feeling every time she’d give her responses.
anyways. so for about the first interview:
it was at ashby staffing which is a staffing agency. and it was for a position doing the same stuff i’m doing: so rfq’s and rfp’s hub stuff…and the lady that interviewed me said she really liked me. Its of obvious benefit for her to get her people hired so I’m hoping that she finds possible leads for it. Anyway, so that went well and she will also be looking for other stuff for me. She basically told me she things i’m an overall good package and a marketable candidate for marketing positions. That was nice to hear.
My second interview was at SpryDev and it was for that entry level assistant position. so i didn’t get that job. I didn’t even make it to the second round. But Ben did invite me too interview for the Jr. Internet Marketing Coordinator position. I think i could probably bring more to the table with that job. and while it does not come w/ an iphone, it comes with a higher salary so i’d be able to afford an iphone on my own. I did like meeting him and while i did not learn about what they do exactly, or what their daily processes are like i did enjoy getting a feel for what he has going on. so yes, it was definitely worth going to. and as i said: i landed the 2nd interview. What i wasn’t thrilled about was the work schedule. Mr. Cox allows me to take a half day once a week so i can do my volunteering. and, you know I really enjoy it. This job doesn’t seem to offer that, and if anything i’m a bit hesitant as to the hours: 8am-6pm. currently, i’m at 8:30-5:30. so i put in 35 hours a week just about. I don’t mind working through lunch, in fact if i’m avoiding traffic and drive thrus and fast food calories and the love handles to follow….i think i’m better off.
so far my leads are SpryDev, UT Co-op, that lady from Asby, and i’ve yet to hear back from adLucent. but i might not ever hear back from them…who knows. so far, it’s an even tie between SpryDev and the UTCoop.
