cbc interview next wednesday

Well, I guess the CBC interview will happen after all.

It will be at 11 a.m. EST on June 28, 2006. It will be a phone interview, thankfully. That means I don't have to fly out to Regina ... and miss school/work. :D

Just have to get through this week though (four assignments and a presentation ... done three assignments, but need to finish the last one tomorrow).

a-job hunting we will go

Job-hunting is a great procrastination tool. As is bloggging. :)

Anyhow, I e-mailed my former co-op boss and asked if I could get "bridged" back into the department. Seems like the budget's tight and there's no room for more staff ...

Anyhow, I'm hoping to hear back from CBC Radio as to when I'll have an interview as a "Radio Archivist" position in Regina. This sounds like there's potential (but then again, I'm competing with everyone else in the country).

That's all going on the job-front. Will keep you posted. Ta-ta-for-now.

Taking in nature's beauty

London's nickname is "The Forest City" -- and it's very aptly named. There's a historic homestead located nearby where I live. A friend of mine took me there for a walk. It was very serene and ... beautiful. I hope to capture some of this hidden gem and post it on my flickr site.

A few days ago, I was coming back from running errands. I walked along one of the bridges nearby the Thames River when I spotted a young deer taking a cool drink and eating some tree leaves. I stopped and stared at the deer, amazed at how close it was. Later, on my way to campus (for class), I saw a chipmunk! Very cute. Wish I had a camera there and then to capture it. I've never seen a live chipmunk in London (lots of squirrels and groundhogs, though).

Thankfully the past few days have cooled off a bit ... it was roasting last week (including humidex). It's not even officially summer, yet ...
