Moving!

Well, I'm moving tomorrow (same building, from a 1 bedroom place to a 2 bedroom place).  This week has been so busy for me that I've had little-to-no time to seek out co-op jobs.  I'm relying heavily on networking rather than sending out a mass of resumes right now due to my schedule.  It's been hard trying to keep up on classes, part-time work, co-op seeking, and meeting with my Chinese language partner.

I think I'm free...

Well, I blog post earlier, the one about being released for seeking a co-op position, was a little incorrect.  I was fully and officially released today. Which makes sense, as when I did a search through WIL's Symplicity system I could only find two CMPT positions, both a repost of the same job.  Well, it's now up to around forty, which is much better.

Changes

Last term I didn't do as well academically as I wanted.  I took four classes and ended up earning a wide range of grades (A- to a D).  I'm tired of doing poorly in my classes.  I'm tired of not being able to grasp some of these subjects.  While I was in China, I ended up with wildly divergant grades.  Some classes were in the 90's, while others I was bumped up to pass.  I was hoping that when I came back, I'd do better because I was "back home".  That didn't happen.

I've started changing my study habits.  It's been difficult, as my old bad habits are fighting me every step of the way.  I hope to overcome them.

Freedom!

Well, actually, I've just been released to start seeking co-op opportunities at SFU.  At the moment though, it doesn't seem that there are many positions available for computer science students.  There is an interesting position with the Canadian consulate in China that I might look into more.  There are multiple consulates through out China, so maybe I would have some options.  If I was able to be stationed in Shanghai, that would make going to Hangzhou that much simpler.
