Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom

One more final to email in tomorrow and this semester and I are fucking done, professionally.

Last two weeks were the stress weeks from hell, and this video, which was randomly posted in a thread somewhere, was pretty much the only thing cheering me up. I know videos of cute animals are the oldest of meme but idgaf. I actually squeed at the bunny. (Oh god my five-year-old self is rearing her pigtailed head I want a pet bunny)

I had a phone interview last Friday with someone from the Japanese consulate. I was okay, I guess. If the interviewer was noting down "inarticulate bumble" at times I really can't blame him, and I ended up repeating myself an embarrassing number of times. I'll find out by the end of the month whether I got into the program or not. I mean, there's a chance everyone else they interviewed sounded worse than me, right? ...right? (And sort of related, I got my passport in the mail! It's new and shiny and has pictures of cacti and buffalo inside!)

Will be working a bit more than expected these first two weeks of summer, since stuff's all crazy with summer classes starting and a million other things happening in the office. My boss got an iPad for the office though, which hopefully I will get to play with. I haven't gotten to use the Kindle other than ooooh-ing over it. What the point in working somewhere with a built-in reason to buy gadgets if I can't use them?

I'm also endeavoring to use to tags. We'll see how that goes.

Bunnyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!! ...ok, i'm done. haha

Whats with domo getting all these new gadgets for the office? I remember her getting the macbook air, and now the kindle and an ipad? wtf?

I was using tags in my main blog site for awhile, until I realized 90% of them were tagged as "annoyances"...I guess I complain a lot =p haha

Her excuse is that we have to test new stuff to see how you can use them for online classes. For the the Kindle she wanted to make sure you could download stuff from Wimba and Blackboard, and for the iPad I think she just wants to make sure you can use it to take an online class. It could just be an excuse to buy the latest stuff, but I'm not complaining, haha.

I have a feeling that 'complaints about school' tag is going to be the most common one.
