more studying...

DAH.  i can't wait for next week to be over.  i'm tired of studying already.  i don't know how some people can go for it hours on end.  not me! i'm more of the "a little at a time" type.  with lotsa breaks in between.

there's much to look forward to, anyway.  liiiiike...dexter visiting for a week!  in other words, sumhay for dinner everyday this week! hahahaha  (unfortunately he had to come when i'm writing exams...DAH!)  and then there's john mayer's concert is next week!!! WAAAHOO! so exciting!!  and then rina's coming home!! yaaaaay!  oh man, how i miss her so.

and then i dunno what else is after that....SUMMER?!?!  this'll be my very first full summer off school!!  i've, technically, been at school for three years straight...YIKES!  haha...i guess it hasn't been that horribly bad
but i'm still excited for my summer! 

and, of course, there's still that job i'm waiting on...speaking of which, i had another interview on tuesday.  at the same place, but a different position (and more interesting i might add).  so we'll see how that goes!! errrrm.

okay, okay...i'm done procrastinating for now.  blog ya folks later! =)

(and to my fellow university peeps...HAVE FUN STUDYING [insert sarcasm here])

oh boy...

i can't stop thinking about that job.  i don't think i've ever wanted a job so bad.  man oh man...i want it.  SOOO badly.  my heart even feels heavy.  weird.

[but it's Your will, Lord.]

my 1st interview

so, today i had my very first REAL job interview at the richardson centre for functional foods & neutraceuticals.  i actually wasn't as nervous as i thought i would be, which was good.  i answered all the questions they asked me as honestly and confidently as possible.  so, all in all, it went fairly well! 

though, now, i'm extremely worried of the outcome.   i didn't even know what position was getting myself into until i walked into the interview room and they explained it to me.  but when they did, it was totally what i've been wanting!  the title is pilot plant assistant and, in a nutshell, the job is to help set up their new lab equipment and work with some of their research projects.  preeeeetty neat stuff!! 

*sigh.  i hope i gave them a good impression, even if i don't have much experience w/ that type of stuff...i'm totally willing to learn.  i really want that job and i'll definitely learn a lot from it....but its whatever the Lord wills.

this bites.

yup.  so, here we are again.  another campus camp with zero attendance.  what's there left to do but try even harder, i guess.  the battle has already been won, right??

"Deathbed"

I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
I can't believe this is the end

But this is my deathbed, I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight I know I'll be home

The year was nineteen forty one
I was eight years old and far far too young
To know that the stories of battles and glory
Was a tale a kind mother made up for her son
You see, dad was a traveling preacher
Teaching the words of the Teacher
My mother had sworn he went off to the war
And died there with honor, somewhere on a beach there
But he left once to never return
Which taught me that I should unlearn
Whatever I thought a father should be
I abandoned that thought like he abandoned me

By forty seven I was fourteen
I'd acquired a taste for liquor and nicotine
I smoked until I threw up
Yet I still lit 'em up for thirty more years
Like a machine

So right there you have it
That one filthy habit
Is what got me where I am today

I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear those sad memories still haunting me
So many things I'd do again

But this is my deathbed, I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight I know I'll be home

I got married on my twenty first
Eight months before my wife would give birth
It's easier to be sure you love someone
When her father inquires with the barrel of a gun
The union was far from harmonious
No two people could have been more alone than us
The years would go by and she'd love someone else
And I realized I hadn't been loved yet myself

From there it's your typical spiel
Yeah, if life was a highway, I was drunk at the wheel
I was seeing the loose ends all fall apart
Yeah I swear I was destined to fail and fail from the start

I bowled about six times a week
The bottle of Beam kept the memories from me
Our marriage had taken a seven-ten split
And along with my pride the ex-wife took the kids

I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear those sad memories still haunting me
So many things I'd do again

But this is my deathbed, I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight I know I'll be home

I was so scared of Jesus, but He sought me out
Like the cancer in my lungs that's killing me now
And I've given up hope on the days I have left
But I cling to the hope of my life in the next
Then Jesus showed up said "Before we go up
I thought that we might reminisce
See one night in your life when you turned out the light
You asked for and prayed for my forgiveness

You cried wolf
The tears they soaked your fur
The blood dripped from your fangs
You said, 'What have I done?'
You loved that lamb
With every sinful bone
And there you wept alone
Your heart was so contrite

You said, 'Jesus, please forgive me of my crimes
Sanctify this withered heart of mine
Stay with me until my life is through
And on that day please take me home with you' "

I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear You whisper to me,
"It's time to leave, You'll never be lonely again"

But this was my deathbed, I died there alone
When I closed my eyes tonight, You carried me home

***
I am the Way
Follow Me and take My hand
And I am the Truth
Embrace Me and you'll understand
And I am the Light
And through Me you'll live again
For I am Love
I am Love
I, I am Love
