Going Back

Time: 9:50pm
Mood: Tired
Song of the moment: Katy Perry - Hot N Cold

This week has been pretty hectic for me so far.  I had to travel to a small town outside Chatham yesterday to complete some material trials for work.  The drive was like driving to Detroit.. the same route, except I got to exit the highway earlier! LoL :D  I had to be there for 9:30am, so waking up at 5:30am was not fun at all!

Today I went back... went back to Waterloo that is!  I was there to do co-op interviews.  Man the co-op program has definitely changed since I was there.  I remember having to photocopy resumes on really nice paper, then going to the drop boxes before the application deadline and apply for jobs.  I think there was one time I actually went in my PJs to make an application deadline! LoL oh the memories!  But now, they just apply online!  I didn't have time to walk around campus and check out the new buildings... I was going to do that during lunch but my interviews went long and it started raining.  Oh well.. maybe next time :D  

I realized something today when I was doing interviews - it's a lot tougher being the interviewer!  After the 4th person (and I interviewed a total of 9) I felt like a broken record.  I was repeating the same thing over and over again.  It was brutal!!  But, I did have fun chatting with the students and getting to know them a bit beyond their resume.  I did however encounter some characters... one of which I will call the "loud talker".  It was like he was yelling at me! LoL

Tomorrow I'm off to Ryerson to do more interviews... but the good thing about tomorrow is I'll be downtown so I get to meet my hubby for lunch! *yay* :D
