Dreary Days

The weather has been anything but springlike in these parts. All season has been marked by gray drizzle, umbrellas and winter coats. Yes, it's been that cold. Some days you don't want to venture outside it's so bad. Today was one of those days. Fortunately for me I don't have to. No work, no class, no internship. It's a totally free day and I've been utterly lazy.

Currently I'm curled up on the couch in front of my lap top watching an old Audrey Hepburn move (Paris When it Sizzles); it's not my favourite film, but the colours are gorgeous. Half the time the movie feels like one huge ad for Paris in the sixties, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The scenery, the clothing, it's all so glamourous. I think that's the appeal for me when I watch some of these older films. Pure escapism.  It's putting me in a more spring-like mood. Of course, it's also making me want to travel far far away for the summer

Wouldn't you love to wake up to something like this every morning for four months?

While I dream of Europe, I'll be working on my next script analysis, distracting myself with the glamour of the cinema. Maybe some tea will help along the actual work?

Job Hunting

So I think my major problem with job hunting is that I get caught up with the things that don't really matter until I actually send a resume out, things like what to wear to an interview. Obviously, that's not a problem unless I actually get an interview which won't happen if I never send out a resume.

That having been said, I did manage to land an internship in my field this summer. Unpaid of course. But the networking opportunities have to be worth something right? I would like something to fill up my time and give me some money though. So I'm still looking, still applying, still hoping that someone somewhere will like my resume enough to overlook my ridiculous schedule. Let's hope this mystery boss is actually out there. Maybe one day I'll  be able to buy some of the products I post on this blog.

...........Paying my rent and buying food would be nice too though.

E-Day!

So did you? Did you really? The polls are closing out East, but there's plenty of time to cast your ballot out West. If you don't know your riding just head to voter information services on the Elections Canada website. 

Wish List

APC Clog Sandals- Red 3. Anthropologie Crossover Clogs

The seventies are back in a big way this season and I'm loving these sandals.The height, the colours, they're calling to me. If only my bank account agreed with me spending right now.

Catching up on Reading

So I took this past long weekend to catch up on some reading, but for the first time in months my list didn't include anything to do with my classes. Guilty pleasure reading all the way. Yes, I was re-reading Tune in Anytime by Caroline B. Cooney. Not the most sophisticated reading, but it was fun. It was nice to read something easy, something that would most definitely have a happy ending. Next up? Who knows! I'm open to suggestions if anybody out there has a favourite book and they're dying to spread the word.

Does anybody else turn to books from their childhood to relax? Or guilty pleasure reading in general, the type of stuff you don't want to be caught on transit with?
