Facebook has its uses

There are two kinds of people who fail, those who party all the time and those who never party.  - someone on physicsforums

This blog post is about people who party all the time, and about work.

There are some people on facebook who regularily invite me (and the rest of their friends list) to keggers.  Personally, I get really drunk once or twice a semester.. but it seems like these people do it every other weekend.

Anyway… that’s not what this post is about.  It’s about how one can get accustomed to the proper social conduct through facebook.

In the message they sent out, they restated the “fashionably late” rule.  And then suggested an alternative; something you can do if you know the people moderately well.

Hope to see you all here on Saturday around 8!(Or later because no one really comes at 8, but you should! At least come predrink the bar)

PS: In the third paragraph i used a semicolon; was that correct usage of a semicolon?

PPS: in my last post i mentioned an interview… well i got the job.  It’s for a full year, so if i really don’t like it i’m screwed, but since i’m not going to do skating this year i’m going to start looking at my to-do list: slackrope, dance, theatre, maybe possibly get a second job or make a webcomic and try to make a little more money and start saving.  Then travel in the summer, hopefully get an internship overseas.  (There will inevitably be another post about this later.)

Starting a podcast

I have been applying for summer co-op jobs/internships.  I am just beginning my “self-directed job search” which means I’m seeking out companies related to my field of study and emailing or calling them, finding out if they hire students in the summer or more information.

I have barely started.  I’m scared silly of talking on phones or leaving messages (if I were to leave a message, I imagine it would sound like Peter’s message from I Love You Man.)

So I’m going to start a podcast.

I need something that will make me more comfortable communicating verbally with people in person and on the phone.

Ideally, I want to make a video blog, but I don’t think I’m ready for that yet.  It seems to be too big of a step to go from writing text to putting up videos of myself.  Once I get more comfortable with talking un-awkwardly, I’m going to make a vlog.
