- get a reference from my former boss: done
- enroll in the Laurier Alumni Employment Service: done, by a stroke of luck. there was a last minute cancellation and i was able to get an appointment with the lady who runs the service.
- order transcripts: done, the line was surprisingly short. this is a big deal since WLU not only stands for Wilfrid Laurier University, but also We Line Up.
- find out info on CA sessions at school: done. i even signed up for the Accounting Association and bought a ticket for CA night on thursday.
i got all of that done in an hour an a half, then i walked around campus running into people i know. it was nice. felt a little odd to know what i don't actually go there anymore. even more funny when i got stopped at least 5 times by froshies asking for directions. so brave. one girl actually bombarded me with 4 questions, heehee. i felt old, but knowledgeable.
as i said, there's a CA night (that's Chartered Accountant night) at Laurier on thurs night. There will be alumni, recruiters and co-op students from 7 CA firms attending. they will be there to answer questions, let us know about opportunities in their firms, etc. i'm not sure what i'm gonna ask yet, because i am not very good at talking to strangers on a professional level. seems pretentious and uncomfortable, but i guess i'll have to learn.
so my strategy for learning? i'm going to the national job fair in t.o tomorrow, i'll probably talk to some companies in the business/finance sector just to see what questions come up and get comfortable bs-ing to strangers. i doubt any of the major accounting firms will set up shop there, if they do, i'll stop by.
anyway.. time to sleep. tired for some odd reason, woke up at 11:30 this morning, so i'm not sure why.
oh. race is so annoying. why can't colin and christie just lose? hmm? come on!
time for: saying good nite to hunny and catching some z's. or maybe finishing the Bourne Ultimatum.
