sinsyneVolunteering. Experience. CV. Job.
There you have it folks. When I told her that I wanted to volunteer for Otakuthon, thereby entailing that I'd stay at Winn's for three days for travel purposes, my mom seemed hardly keen to allow it. However, I explained to her my plight, how frustratingly hard it is to find a job currently. Thus, in the mean time, I would rack up as much volunteer experience as possible. And suddenly, she let me go to the event. I'd say it feels great to be responsible, but there was totally self-interest at play. ^-^;;
Otakuthon's only at the end of July-beginning of August, but today I participated at my town's annual Garage Sale. In charge of the book section, wheeeee~ I actually found a collection of Oscar Wilde's short stories, but other than that, I resisted temptation. I feel rather proud of myself. :D
Unfortunately, Swatch Group had a change in management, and they decided to drop the FIVB Beach Volleyball tournament in Quebec. It was a five day event that required volunteers, but, well, guess that won't be happening anymore, eh? Aww, bummer. *sadface* I attended in 2007 as a spectator (VIP, woot!), had a blast, and was eager to volunteer the next time around. But, I guess with the recession, Swatch dropping the tournament isn't all that surprising.
All this rambling to say I had fun at the garage sale. The weather was fantastic, I've got shiny Wildean literature, and I meet my old and dear friend Jes.
Well, dad's being a monopolising pain. So I'm off to clean that room and write. Ta darlings~
Oh, before I forget. Winn: if I don't get a chance to tell you tomorrow, I wish you the sincerest best for piano! You probably won't like the reminder, but I'm rooting for you from the bottom of my heart! :3
