		<description><![CDATA[Graduation is less than twenty weeks away, and the countdown between no more classes and the search and choice of who my future employer are starting to gain momentum. Time is flying by now. At last check, I have three weeks left this term and 14 for the next, plus the couple of weeks in between semesters called the breaks and finals. I am writing this post to tell you all that I have embarked on a huge social Networking plan, at the request of a few agencies who are very interested in having me on board their teams. That last phrase was code for employers are asking me to come in for job interviews and a job market looks very promising with them--but they want more.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lets start off with a woman named Sandy. When we talked about this after class on back Thursday, which was fittingly a class about human rights, I was applauded, shocked and embarrassed from both watching and hearing the news about the women in the Vancouver Downtown East Side who was pushed to the ground by a Vancouver Police Officer because she walked into him. The embarrassment escalated when it was discovered that the women has cerebral palsy, and because of this she has difficulty walking at the best of times.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the weirdness scale climbs for this semester, so to does my enthusiasm as the calendar starts to count down to the last days of my undergraduate status. I am writing this in the C2801 room with just one other person who is doing some casual studying, but she is not in my next class. On the whiteboard, printed in blue lettering is, “Eschew Obfuscation,” which is Latin for do not use big words when a little ones will do, a very fitting statement for most students who are asked to write papers that are in a mandatory length format.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you have read if you are frequent visitor to my blog, then you know my stance on the Banking industry, and how much I think they are bunch of parasites, and that they have lost their one primary function which is help you store your money – and even that is something to question. Well, from an unlikely source, I was given an email last night that came from my University. What was interesting was the direct comment they used on spelling out the high cost of a service called a merchant's account. The email said that after August of 2010 they will no longer take payments for tuition by domestic credit cards, and that you now must pay in other ways. I personally like cash, but that is me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning, as I was driving into work, I heard on the radio, CBC, that a couple had their credit history ruined by a black mark from the TELUS corporation from a bill that was never paid. This story intrigued me because I went through this exact same situation over fifteenth years ago from a couple called City Tell, from up in Prince Rupert. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I do not know if it was the heat, or the supper amount of stress I am going through with classes right now, or the exotic food I ate for dinner, but man, did I ever have a weird sleep. Right now it is 5:30am and I am looking outside at the first bit of sun light hitting the horizon and my body feels like a million dollars: unbelievably great. My brain, on the other hand, feels like a water balloon full of thick gooey sludge. I think I might have a head cold that is going around?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I am taking it off. I am just going to sit around and rest, have some dinner and not think about anything academic. It has been a week of extremes for me. With a presentation that was delivered on Tuesday, that also involved a day of Hell, not baring the heat wave but a shorting out of an electric forklift, the day ended with myself wanting to hide underneath a rock for the rest of the day. That feeling of loss of control was overwhelming, yet I was in the driver's seat, and it made no sense to me as I tried to navigate home with only one headlight that was dimmed by a faulty module switch under the hood of a newly acquired Pathfinder SUV. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I have to give a presentation as part of my professional communication class . I got the sweat and butterflies going inside my head and stomach as I prepare for the three minute presentation.  Sure, I have done lots of these presentations in the past, and I should be darn good at these, but this one is different. It is not the content that I will be graded on, but the way in which I present myself and the quality of the presentation that will be critiqued.]]></description>
