graduation's around the corner, but a job??

alrighty, i think it's time for another post... so, since my last post: my supervisor at work got married; i've applied to a couple jobs via the staffing company, was interviewed, and not chosen; took another history exam and am waiting for them to post scores. then this weekend, a job opened up in the building i'm working in now, which i applied for and am very excited about. wish me luck! >w< paul still hasn't been given a "yay" or "nay" for the phd fellowship he applied to, but his plan b is with his instructor's company in BR. we're really hoping to find out about that soon. as for wedding stuff, we've pretty much finalized the family wedding list and plan on ordering the invites sometime soon. like i said last time, we'll ask you for your addresses in due time and please don't think we hate you if we are unable to invite you. as it is, the list of anticipated guests jumped back up close to 300, when we were trying to keep it down to 250. >.> well that's about all i've got for you guys right now. later. ~L-c ^.~

mini schedule:
12/1: presentation for night class 
12/6: night class final via computer-based
12/10: psyc history final TT_TT a saturday?! 为什么?!12/16: graduation

ok so most of you guys failed to notice my last post, i'm not sure if it was because of my lack of description or what. in short: the link is to an anime face maker where you can customize it however you want with the options available. here's the link again.

so back to news, daily life, etc. i've been looking around at jobs and stuff and am now registered with a staffing company which will hopefully find something for me. i applied as an office assistant and i did pretty well on their tests. got 100% on data entry (keypad use and accuracy), 75 gwam (the average person types 30-40), 90% on ms excel, ~80% on ms word. if you want to test your gwam speed, i used this as a sort of practice/tester. it's not completely accurate because, well..american english is a little different from british english, but your score'll be pretty close. so the past several days, i've been gathering people's mailing addresses for graduation announcements and wedding invites--and by people, i mean paul's and my family. we're planning on doing two separate mailings (family & bridal party, then friends)--so don't freak out that i didn't ask you for your address yet. and like i said before, we can't invite everyone either. so, i apologize on that aspect too. but i'm trying to gather all this information to finish figuring out numbers so we can order invites, response cards, and stamps. if you guys didn't know, the price of stamps is going up in january, so buy forever stamps now! =P going to a wedding this weekend and super excited. hopefully, while there, paul and i can take a nice picture together..we haven't taken a picture together in a while..his graduation?? well i think that's about it as far as what's up lately. later. ~L-c ^.~
