Justin Go Home

For the last two weeks our friend Justin was staying at our place. He arrived the Thursday, Oct. 29 and whipped up some costumes then went to the Halloween parties with us. We spent the rest of the time, generally hanging out and playing a tons of computer and PS3 games. He stayed until two Saturdays ago when he had his convocation from Carleton University. He graduated from the computer engineering program there and is now back home in Kingsville. It was a lot of fun having him around again. Since he left back in April, Ottawa had been a little less nerdy and Dave and I have had one less person to hang out with. Hopefully, he will be able to come back again soon.

Trent

The first session of the Trent University Convocation was this morning and Dave's sister Jessica was part of it. She graduates with a Bachelors of Arts Honours degree - with the president's award! Congratulations Jess.

Getting Around to Things

So Dave and I have been in the house for a week now and we still have so much left to do. Our living room was set up in a mad frenzy when we decided to have friends over randomly earlier on in the week and now we are doing the office. We have had Dave's computer set up in the living room/entry way for the last week and it has been rather awkward yet convenient at the same time - odd how that can be. Anyway, we are settting everything up as I type and it is turning out quite nicely actually. Hopefully we can finish up this room today and perhaps start working on another room later on.

I have others things that I have to get around to as well. For example the pictures from Lynn's Bridal Shower that my mom and I had for her two weeks ago. As well as the pictures from convocation from June 12. There will soon be more pictures to deal with as Dave's Family reunion is next weekend and I always take lots of pictures then. So I hope to get the ones I have dealth with this week as to not have an overwhelming amount to deal with next week.

Also on my list of things to do is updating all my blogs. So here is my update for this blog. I need to deal with the pictures to be able to update my photography blog and my weight loss blog needs some attention from me as well (since it has been ages since I posted there). Oh my. So much to do - so little time - so little energy.

Ashamed

I feel ashamed lately.
Thursday is my convocation and I am dreading many aspects of it. I will be asked my classmates if I have a job in my field and all that - and I do not. My job doesn't even come close to my field and I am so ashamed. Almost all of the students who graduated with me in December have jobs - proper jobs and I do not. I am not really sure why I haven't gotten one yet - I have looked as hard as I could and only gotten a couple interviews so far - most for jobs that didn't even exist and the companies just wanted to talk to me.
I don't know what to say - I don't know what to do.
I just feel so stupid, useless and professionally undesirable.
I feel so ashamed.
