April 20th in a couple of paragraphs.

Okay so here are a few questions...

I'm getting a haircut on Thursday and I want a change... but I haven't had bangs since grade 5 so I'm really doubting that's the kind of change I'd go for... but regardless: it's in my facebook status.

Otherwise, I think I'm craving this change due to recent events over the past few days. Actually, this volcano even affected my mood! I'm pretty envious of those long journeys that most people have up ahead. Don't get me wrong, prices are insane right now as people are struggling to find their ways home BUT it's still an adventure. And these adventures are pretty much priceless... granted, I may not want to venture all alone but that might be part of the fun too. So that's one reason I've been reading papers none-stop. The other reason is that my parents are supposed to be flying into Helsinki from Toronto on Saturday around noon and there's no word yet on what the situation will be like then.

Moving on, I called the company I was waiting to hear from today. The woman I've been speaking with over email informed me that my test was received but she was still waiting to get the results back. And hour and a half after we got off the phone, I got an email. Good news or bad news first? I'll keep you in suspense with good news first. The results of the test were good [and since she bothered, I guess I passed the background check as well] but bad news, there were no more positions available. Still, she saved my CV in their system for a rainy day. I guess I may also have a leg up on the competition considering that fact that I've been interviewed and tested already. I'm basically groomed and ready to be called upon. But yeah, I'm not overly optimistic about getting a call anytime soon.

Later on today, I went to the bookstore in search of an exercise book I was hoping to pick up. I got a text this morning from the bookstore saying it had arrived so I rode my bike down this afternoon to pick it up. I really like this texting system... and I don't have to bother with phone calls, awkward pauses and cues. I'm actually becoming and very reserved person. Anyway, I went to flip through the book and pretty much decided to buy it upon seeing that the friend who suggested it to me also was the one who provided the English translation! I got home hoping to jump right into it but the winds were taken out of my sails a bit. I watched some TV instead.

So... I'm looking for a new project. I've been searching job sites regularly but the biggest one, I had trouble navigating. I should figure that out soon though. I've been thinking about doing some writing over the summer but, as our British friends would say, I just can't be bothered. Or at least that's how I feel right now. I don't mind blogging about my day so much, but writing a book!? Or structuring my work?... I'm obviously being super lazy. It helps a lot when you have things to keep you busy... and when you have things to keep you busy, you're under the illusion that if only you had less things to keep you busy, you'd be better off and doing 100000 more things. Oh but alas, that's not how it works my friend. Luckily I had to jump on the cooking and baking band wagon recently. And although I do feel that my recent discovery of culinary arts has been distracting, I want more! I want a project I can follow from start to finish [har] and that will keep me distracted for days! Maybe I should start going to the library to get things done... it's only a 3 minute bike ride away... I might just do that tomorrow...!
