| Graduation plans |
I don't really have these yet. I'm not sure what I want to do. Thank god I have till May. I know for certain I don't want a cubicle job. I did that this summer and, if I haven't said it enough, I don't have the attention span for cubicles. I need to tell the company that but not entirely sure how to. My parents have offered to let me stay with them while I'm looking this summer instead of spending next semester doing that. Just knowing that they're ok with that helps stress-wise. I mean that was probably the most stressful thing for my roommates last year. I also have plenty of couches I can crash on if need be, and living with my parents becomes too much (though by then I should just find a job).
As far as locations go I'm looking for a large city. I plan on looking at Chicago, Seattle/Portland area, DC, and Atlanta. Other places are also a possibility but those are the cities I'm actively going to focus on. What I want to do? I don't know. I liked doing the design process this summer but I didn't like the fact that it was in JAVA and a desktop app. Seemed limiting and I just didn't like the outcome. I feel they should scrap it. I'll probably focus on Consulting Firms. Smaller and more diverse in what they offer sounds good.
Anyone want to offer me a job? I enjoy learning new things, have a great work ethic and great references. Send an email to mpchouchou@gmail.com with the subject Real Job Opportunity! ;)
Well that is my pathetic little plug for myself. I'm done.

| Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap |
A great song and just seems to sum it all up right now.
Hide and Seek Lyrics
where are we?
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just begun to fall
crop circles in the carpet
sinking, feeling
spin me 'round again
and rub my eyes,
this can't be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy
hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
all those years
they were here first
oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before the take over,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life
hide and seek
trains and sewing machines (you won't catch me around here)
blood and tears
they were here first
ooom what d'ya say,
emmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
ooom what d'ya say,
emmm that's all for the best?
of course it is
emmm what d'ya say?
hmmm that it's just what we need
you decided this
mmmm what d'ya say?
hmmm what did she say?
ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
midsweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
speak no feeling
no, i don't believe you
you don't care a bit,
you don't care a bit
(hide and seek)
ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
midsweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
(hide and seek)
speak no feeling
no, I don't believe you
you don't care a bit,
you don't care a bit
(hide and seek)
oh no, you don't care a bit
oh no, you don't care a bit
(hide and seek)
oh no, you don't care a bit
you don't care a bit
you don't care a bitLabels: music, personal, random |

| Spam.... |
For the last month I've been categorizing my spam by day of the week. The day I get it it goes into that label. I was curious on how much spam I really was getting and how the gmail filters worked. So without further ado .... my stats (word used loosly):
Date: June 18 - July 22
Total: 335 spam mails
Avg. per week (5 weeks): ~67 emails per week
Avg. per day: 9.5 per day
Daily Totals for 5 weeks:
Sunday: 53
Monday: 55
Tuesday: 40
Wednesday: 45
Thursday: 58
Friday: 44
Saturday: 40
On average Gmail caught most of it. I might have gotten 1 or 2 in my inbox a week but that's it.
I remember why I did this. In a podcast from diggnation.com Alex talked about how gmails filters were horrible. My guess is his email address is to out there in the public. If he compared how many gmail is catching to what is getting through.
That's that take it for what it is. Now I'm going to go and delete my spam mail I've been hording for the last month.Labels: random, spam, tech |

| Furthermore.... I hate you |
Not you, but I've decided I hate that word: furthermore. It just sounds so condescending and stupid. One of my partners used it in our paper, I realized I hate it to late to change it. But I really don't like the sound of it.
Have you noticed I've given up on tech and french content yet? Not forever, just for the next 2.5 weeks. Then it will be officially be summer and I will have time again. But till then, you will have to deal with my venting. Between school, projects, and other crap aka. roommate drama that's all I'm capable of right now.
I'm going home this weekend. I'm excited. Skipping my 2 monday classes and my organizations office hours. Granted I'm going for a doctors appointment. I'm getting my ear fixed again, finally!!! I like hearing. And thinking everyone on my left side is mumbling, and then if they really are mumbling not even hearing them, it bites.
oh well, time to work on hw, projects, and everything in between.Labels: personal, random |
