Hello, and welcome back to Sigma Nu Zeta Omicron. I hope you are all having a good week.<\/p>\n

This week nothing much happened, I just prepared myself for a couple of papers I have due next week and a midterm. So I guess the stress came back, but I\u2019m still doing ok since I could organize everything. Nevertheless, I can\u2019t help but think that final exams\u00a0and the end of the semester are almost here. I look forward to next semester, but I\u2019m more excited about summer. I will go back home and relax, maybe find a summer job if I can.<\/p>\n

Oh, right! This week I had my job interview for student lead on Hillcrest Marketplace. I think it went pretty well. They basically had some questions about how I would react in certain scenarios or what was my opinion about something in the workplace. Still, I have no idea how it went, because it was my first job interview ever! I was pretty nervous because I was at a table with 5 other people, all asking questions and taking notes whenever I spoke. It was pretty intimidating. The hardest question they asked was: \u201cDo you have any questions or concerns?\u201d. I immediately thought of answering, \u201cyes, when do I start?\u201d But I decided that it was not the time for jokes and didn’t want to appear to be arrogant, so I just said I had no questions.<\/p>\n

Going completely off topic, last week I got a haircut. I went to this barbershop near downtown called Friday\u2019s.<\/em> I think there\u2019s only one person that works there, probably the owner of the place. I forgot to ask his name, so I refer to him as \u201cMr. Friday\u201d on my mind. Mr. F has owned the place since 1968 and the place still looks like it\u2019s from that time, except for the big colored TV he has for his waiting customers and a big apple computer. He did a pretty good job and I really like my haircut. I will most surely go back there when I need to cut my hair again and I totally recommend it. The only thing is that it\u2019s first come first serve, so you might as well take a book or something else to distract yourself while you wait. But he also has some magazines for his customers.<\/p>\n

Man, it\u2019s almost the end of the semester and I didn\u2019t have much time to do things I like. I mean, I did a bunch of fun stuff, mostly on weekends, but because I had a lot of homework and study to do, I couldn\u2019t keep a hobby on a regular basis. I guess I can count both my Beatles and Fiction Writing class as hobbies since I took them because it\u2019s something I like, but when you are being graded for it it\u2019s a little bit different. It gets more serious than just a hobby.<\/p>\n

My classes for next semester are mostly \u201cserious\u201d classes. By serious I mean they don\u2019t involve any kind of hobby of mine. The closest is Interpretation of Literature, because I like to read. However, I like to read just for entertainment, I really don\u2019t make any deep analyzes on my readings. But there\u2019s still hope that I will keep a hobby, because all my classes are in the morning. Only on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have Western Civilization III shortly after lunch. So I might have time for some drawing, writing or reading. We will see how it goes right?<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s all for today folks. See you next week.<\/p>\n
