Because Halloween wouldn't be halloween without Thriller:
Happy Halloween, everyone!
[In case you can't watch it through here, here's the link for ya ----> I dare you to click me!]
So today I was invited by one of the teachers to participate in a national webdesign competition that will be happening some time soon.
It won't be my first time though, I came fourth from a group of 20, two years ago. All the guys that joined were professional or semi-professional so it wasn't that bad for the first time. So yes, I did an alright job, I'm not a bad student and I guess I'm the only one crazy enough to do it again so maybe that's why they asked me, hahaha.
Thing is, it would be quite exciting to do it again, it was fun to watch everyone cheering and knowing my name but that by itself only added more pressure onto me to do a good job, it's like I had everyone's eyes staring at me while I was working. It was two really stressful weeks where I studied hard and learned as much as I could in such a short time. So that is why I did not give an answer, yet.
I know that now I'm much better than I was before since I do have more knowledge so I don't have to study as hard, problem is, I think my creative muse ran away for a short (I hope) vacation and that scares me a bit. My teacher (the one that told me to participate) said that it might be just a phase, he knows I'll do a good job like I did two years ago since I am very competitive.
Parents say that it's a great career opportunity, another thing that will help me when I get out of school and try to find a job. I told them about my fears and they told me the exact thing, that I'm competitive and I work better with pressure and stress. "I'll do just fine", they say.
Me? I'm not so sure about that.
I feel that lately I'm not committed to school like I was two years ago. I've been so lazy leaving everything for the last minute and it's not like I'm really giving my best either, as sad that might sound.
Aand to top it all, I only have two months to start my final big degree project; the one that I have to present to 7 judges and the company I'll be working with and it starts next week and we don't know the date of the webdesign contest yet but I fear it might start next month or so.
And it doesn't help knowing that if I win here and on the mainland, I'll be face to face with international webdesigners on Japan! Japan, dammit!
Sooo yeaaaah I have a couple more days to decide and I don't know what should I do, especially when everyone is counting or expecting something from me...
Gosh, I hate big decisions like this. Darn.
So apparently I'm a must needed candidate to a certain canadian online dating site, called eHarmony.
Note that I have never register or even browsed the supposed site for curiosity. Okay, the only thing I SAW was this random guy and girl who met up through eHarmony on the street and I found it amuzing. That's that, nothing more.
Still, they manage to find me and it's the second (or is it the third time?), they e-mail me telling me I'm "the perfect candidate for their dating site". WTF?
I even have a free weekend to try it out! I unsubscribed, twice. TWICE! And they keep sending them. Again, WTF?
Does Canada has dating spies or something who spot me over there and somehow found my hotmail account that I'm unware off?
Creepy. O_o
Oh well, I really don't feel tempted at all to try it out, though. Even if I did, that could kinda be hard to get on time to a date, haha. Poor thing would wait for hours on end. Besides, finding a match through a dating place sounds slightly awkward, I dunno...
So yesh, that's my slice of random life events from me to you today, enjoy! XD
(aside from that slightly silly event, things have been rather normal and routine-ish. So there isn't much more to tell about it anyway...)
Btw, I miss you guys. ;3
