You got the white xmas you wished for!

So two days after the first real snow fall of the season, we are now under a snow storm watch. That means you're supposed to stay indoors if you don't need to venture out and if you do venture outside, drive carefully. The snow plows are out in mighty numbers and I think I see the snow plower dude who does our area plowing the snow for the second time today! And it's only 11:30am.

Looks like someone's making extra money this winter. I've never seen the snow plow contraption on an SUV before. Normally they're on trucks!

Normally I don't care too much about snow storms. I just stay indoors and fire up the kitchen to stay warm. Nothing like a good pot of stew on a cold day like this. Plus I don't have to switch the heater on coz I'm already warm just standing in front of the stove.

Anyway, today is a different story though coz I have to actually attend a two day interview at a company about 40 minutes away from here. Yeah yeah, so they're putting us up in a hotel and paying for our travel expenses but I'm so not looking forward to the drive!!! waaaaaaaaa! :( I went out for just a bit this morning and already I could feel the car tyres not having enough traction on the road when I make turns. It looks like I'll have to leave an hour earlier to make sure that I can make the slow but careful drive there. It's going to be weird being away from hubby tonight. We haven't been apart from each other other than when I went to visit Malaysia alone two years ago.

So I hope the interview won't be too much of a disaster for me. It's so horrible to spend so much time preparing myself mentally and physically for these interviews. When I get a rejection it breaks my spirit. So it's supposed to be a learning experience. But it just makes me feel so inadequate when I get the same "we do not have any current opportunities for you".

Well, just gotta move forward. Next week I have 3 final exams. And then my graduation ceremony to attend. How come everyone else is happier than I am that I'm graduating? Maybe it's coz I don't have a job yet.
