They're going to know me as the girl who broke Jason Kun's ears.

-hyperventilating- Oh my God, oh my God, OH MY GOD. Okay, okay, I'm going to start this from the beginning.

So about a week or so ago I heard about this internship available at Earth Day Canada. It's 7 hours/4 days a week and at the end they give you an honorarium of $2500. I applied.

And now they called me up for an interview and I did an absolutely amazing job of acting like a complete spaz. >_> See this is how it started. My brother picked up the phone and told me it was for me (with no warning of who it was, I may add, for which I will curse him eternally). So I pick up the upstairs phone which promptly falls off the table. And then I shrieked into the phone because 'Gah! phone just fell didIbreakit?IhopeIdidn'tbreakit!' Great way to start things off. Scream into the person's ears. X_x

I then managed to fumble my way through the conversation, eternal shame ringing in my ears (which happens to sound EXACTLY like me screaming only there's words and they go along the lines of 'ARGH you absolute idiot'). Asked if I could call back about the interview since I needed to check in with my mom about the ride.

Checked in with my mom, who said, sure tell them 10:00 Thursday (they gave me three options: 10 AM, 2 PM, 3 PM). So I did.

And then I realized I had my Extended Essay course on Thursday from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Commenced with cursing myself roundly followed by calls to my mom and the interviewer to switch the interview to 2 PM.

I don't think I could've came off less intelligent if I TRIED. T_T

I wanna go so bad. It's because in the picture of the pages in the Civics text book they were all Caucasian and I was all =O RACIST BASTARDS! So yes...Oh, and I'd get to meet Stephen Harper and that idiot Dion....

UBSA UL! LYING *insert string of insults from Shakespeare's time*!!!! Well then my work will be done first day and I'll be at school EARLY and dressed really nicely and SEEM like I know what the hell I'm talking about. =D

YUSS! We will be going on trips together! =DDD

No, it's because you're a NERD like that. But nerds are cool so no worries.

=O I'd ask when you got so into politics but I suspect it's been there all along, lurking under the surface. Possibly Stephen Harper's 'pretty eyes' has something to do with it (also hey is it you or Finni who thinks that, I can never remember).

xD I may keep those Skaespearian insults in mind for the next time I get angry. But don't go the first day, we asked and she said specifically first day's really hectic and she'll probably brush us off. Come on the second day wth me. =)

Yes, nerd's are cool. Should I have said it was because I'm cool like that? =DDD

xDDD I think so too, even though they irk me to no end, I still find myself interested in them...sadly...xD We both do, I think his eyes are VERY pretty. And blue.

Zokay! We can look over each other's notes on the first day and make sure every thing's a-okay. Oh you should, Shakespeare was a fabulous insulter.

Yes, yes you should have.

I was interested in politics back when my dad subscribed to Maclean's. Now I'm cut off from my source. D= And don't say I could watch the news, I barely even watch sitcoms.

Yep. I just need to pick a topic sometime this month and we'll be good to go. =D

I'll keep that in mind in the future.

xDD That is still no excuse! What would Mr. Stroud say!

What are you thinking about doing? You know, if I don't get History I'm going for English with a Harry Potter outline. =D

Good.

You'd seriously do that? =DDD I totally had the same Harry Potter idea but I was almost 95% sure they'd shoot it down. It would be so awesome though to write something that'd be fun.

Honestly, I think it would be the most fun ever to analyze themes in children's literature. Seriously, I really want an essay that I'd have fun writing. :(

...Do you think they'd let me do the Narnia books? They're classics and they have semi-deep themes! They should totally let me do them!

Oh and the current is history, Constantine I or Caesar.

I want to do it! Why do we need to stick to bloody classic literature! Everyone's fucking read Harry Bloody Potter so why not?

Ask them, there's no harm in asking. Ask on the first day and if they say no you still have history. =D

=O Did I draw you in with my Crusadey business? xDD

I thought about doing him too..xD

That is true. We shall try then. =)

From what I heard someone honestly did an essay on nursery rhymes so I see no reason why not. I think I'll get together a list of all my favourite books as a kid and read them through for themes.

To Narnia? Nah, it's just one of my automatic things when I think books I have loved. xD Though, y'know there's sort of a link there when you think of all the Christian symbolism and such.

Constantine I or Caesar? I thought Constantine because I was all like hey he's the dude who made Christianity big because he won a battle! That's cool. =O And then Caesar emerged from the brainstorming thing they made us do for a few minutes in class.
