AHHHH!!!!
SOOO much has happened today (good and unfortunately bad too) has happened today that if I don't blog about it soon, I'm going to explode!! Good news first or bad?? I guess bad first then good to leave everyone in a happy mood. =P

BAD NEWS:
I quit my job at Stauffer Library today for reasons that I will explain later. Needless to say, the man that hired me in the first place wasn't too happy about that. I don't blame him really... I haven't even gone through a week at the job and already I'm quitting. I'd probably be a bit angry and annoyed too if I were in his position. =( Second bad thing that happened...I MISSED MY LAB!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG...I hope I didn't just screw myself over because of that. It's actually quite a stupid reason why I missed it. My friend and I are in the same program and a quite small one too so naturally we have most of the same classes, tutorials and labs. Anyway, we got our timetables mixed up all because I assumed too much! I remember seeing on my timetable that our lab was in this one building but she kept insisting that it was in a another. I don't blame her at all though because it's totally my responsibility to check when and where my own classes are. So the lesson learned today is if in doubt, check the damn schedule!!

Now on to the GOOD NEWS!:
I found my dream job!! Or more like my dream job found me! =P I got a call this afternoon from a biotech company that wanted to interview me for a lab research assistant position. I went in, things went super and I got the job!! Yay for me!! =D Hence the reason I had to quit the library job. Despite that the whole ordeal made me feel like a total scumbag (hahaha...Newstead's, my all-time favorite prof's, favourite word), I firmly believe that I made the right choice. This new job is a bajillion times better than the library job and it'll look great too to future Chem Eng employers. Yays!! =D

So in conclusion, with the good and bad of today I guess I have to admit that the good far outweighs the bad. A missed lab and the wrath of a former employer is nothing that getting my dream job can't cure! =)
