In other news, today I got a call for a job interview at AdditionElle. I don't know when the interview is yet, I need to call the assistant manager on Wednesday and schedule one (she wasn't in the store today, and since this is the Labour Day weekend, she obviously won't be in then either). I've never had an interview before, so I'm a bit nervous. Actually, I think the only reason I'm even getting an interview is because I called twice a week this month to see if they had processed the resumes yet. Also, I made my resume stand out by using brightly coloured star print paper, and since I stood out by doing that and calling, I guess they figured that I was persistent (read:annoying) and wouldn't go away until they gave me an interview.
Anyway, it would be awesome to work there. I could get a discount on clothes that fit, and I'd be working near a bunch of my friends. Oliver works across the parking lot at White Spot, and Steph, Marcy, and Rachel work down the street. Besides, I really need the money and the work experience, because who really wants to hire an 18-year-old with no experience. Well, other than pornographers. I could be BARELY LEGAL!!! But no. I am not that sleazy, contrary to Stafford belief (I'll tell that story another day).
I won't worry about the interview now. I've got other things to contemplate, such as getting accepted to CDIS. Stafford finally faxed my transcript over, so that's all sorted. I just need to know whether or not I am accepted by next week, because if I don't send in my education savings plan form by September 16, I lose $1600 from a government grant. I'd defer the funds for another year, but I kinda need them for this year (if I get accepted, which there is a 95% probability of). Grrr. I want my acceptance letter.
I kind of feel sorry for everyone who has to go back to school on Tuesday, while I get to sit back and relax for another month (CDIS courses don't start until October). I don't know why I'm talking like I've already been accepted, but I guess I must be pretty confident. I wrote a great essay on why I should be accepted into the Digital Film Program, if I do say so myself. I even made my dismal Film and Television mark seem like a short setback on the path to greatness :)
