Spring is Here!

That's right, it's almost April and it's 30 degrees (though sunny) in Durham, NH!
I'm sooo ready to buy lots of cute spring clothes, but I'm still wearing my winter jacket *grr*
Plus, I've been fiscally responsible to counteract my spring break deficit!
However, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for new capital inflow... hopefully I'll have good news in the employment department soon ^^
H&M has tons of cute new outfits:

I'm

GRRRRRR

Today is march 10th
In 2 Months and 13 days I will graduate, thereby becoming a UNH alumna.
You know what that means.
I'll be off my parents insurance, without a job, without a car.
Food stamps here I come!
Fuckedy Fuck Fuck.

These are my thoughts on being a "grad" in this economy:
There are no jobs. In February, 655000 people lost their jobs. In January, 651,000 and in December, 681000 people lost their job.
People with "experience" in midlevel positions will be applying to the same entry level jobs I (with no substantial experience) will be applying to. They'll take pay cuts because it's better to be paid entry level than unemployment insurance. Oh, and also: a million other "grads" will be applying also, upping the competition.

Maybe I should join the trend and apply to grad school asap.





On a completely different note, blueberry frosted mini wheats are not half as good as strawberry frosted ones.


THE END.

Mojo, friends, techno, and hedging

As my dear roommate Christina eloquently put it, there is some mayjah mojo going on.
This is not like me. I usually don't put myself out there. Hmmmmm :)


I love spending time with my friends, just going out and dancing, going shopping, studying together, etc. I like going to Boston, too! Love the city!
The economy sucks, I should have a million worries, but ...."ehh" life is to short to not enjoy it, right?

I've gotten into some serious girly techno, good stuff, check it out:

If I let myself be stressed out, I'd be stressing over international financial management. Sorry, Mihail, you're cute and all but your tests are ridick. I mean, 25 MC question sets you up for failure, pretty much.
Plus, though I find it immensely interesting to learn about futures, forwards, options, calls & puts, and different ways to hedge, it is also so confusing! ahh!
I'm just not a math person, so maybe I'll never be a currency trader. hmmm. I'll have to do some major studying before the exam on tuesday! I guess I could hedge my exposure to a crappy finance grade by studying more.. hmm ho. I also need to write that paper about the financial crisis. the global financial crisis. I need to do well on this paper, so hopefully I can get over my writer's bloc. Yes, even for finance papers you can develop writer's blog..

For thanksgiving I'm going to Christina's house in Concord! Yay food!


So I saw Twilight with Jon. R Patz is a major hottie, but we (and Perez) already knew that. The film might have been more indie than I expected, but I'll def. watch the sequel, once it's made. Why the heck didn't they start filming the second as soon as the first one was post production? It was obviously that the twilight franchise is big bucks...

I am getting warm and tingly feelings when I think about this winter break with Brie and Stefanuccia. Ashley, get your bum to Sunny D! <3

Hello

Adventures riding the Bus

Let me say this first and foremost:
I am a European and henceforth not afraid to ride the fucking bus! (Although, I am sometimes afraid of walking home from the bus stop to my apt at night - it's dark and creepy, and I live in Dirty Dover, not Canada!)
So I don't understand why people give me looks of pity when I mention that I survive very well without driving to school. I usually don't get around to telling people that I have the soccer-mo(m)bile in my parking spot at home. It probably is driven 5 miles a week: To and from Market Basket/Walmart and to and from the laundry center.

Gas prices might be down, that doesn't mean I want to pay to drive ... :P

So anyways, I'm on a pretty regular bus schedule, and - to no surprise - certain other people are on MY regular bus schedule, too:

The screaming Chinese girl:
sCg is always, ALWAYS, on the phone while riding 3A/3B. Her conversations seem to be of the utmost importance, because they obviously can't wait until the bus ride is over. Her convos are in CHINESE. That means we are treated to a high pitched loud yell-a-palooza for ~25 min, twice a day if we're lucky. Groan!
Plus, the other day, yelling was clearly not enough. She started talking with her hands, pointing her index finger at some invisible object/person.

Waldo: Waldo is a small, slight, prim & proper young man characterized by his red scarf and nasal voice. He always sits with perfect posture and sometimes tells random people (who clearly don't know him) random anecdotes about his life, such as about the time he waited in line for an hour to register to vote in Durham, only to be told that he can't since he lives in Dover.
REALLY?

The Diningman: He's a little on the slow side of life, but will not hesitate to tell you his life story if you seem interested (or not). He will also tell you that being single is good too, "because you can have a lot of fun with just yourself" (uhmmmmm) and he will also tell you about his brother and the yellow Mazda protege he drives, the only one of his kind on campus!

The angry German listening her ipod: That's me.

There are more personalities, such as Busboy, who is quite crush-worthy but has only been on my bus 2 times...

I will update the list, but right now I feel guilty for not reviewing my QDM notes/prepping for the review class tomorrow.

Cheerio!
