Two Interviews (and Vancouver)

I had two interviews for Accounting positions today. One was to help organize an accounting conference in May (which would delay my return to Vancouver by about two weeks)... the other was to help promote accounting events throughout the year.

I wore relatively formal clothing for both (even though one said casual dress was fine). People looked at me curiously (too early for co-op!), but that's okay.

The interview for promotion of accounting events did not go so well. It went decently, I suppose. But I definitely did not do as good of a job as I usually do when I speak. Nervous, I was not (too much), but I just felt handcuffed by some of their questions.

The other one for the conference went amazing, in my opinion. The interviewers were candid and friendly, and I was candid and friendly in return. I had a chance to meet one of the interviewers last week, and made a sparkling impression already, so I'm banking on getting this one... hopefully. Which would delay my return to Vancouver.

Oddly enough, I don't miss Vancouver so much as I thought I would. Certain individuals? Yes. Definitely. But not the place in general. Although it is much more beautiful than in Waterloo, that's for sure.

Outside of a decent number of people, the main thing I miss is good food. I tried Korean food yesterday, it was so-so. Julie said it's better in Vancouver (we are all going to get together during Christmastime, hopefully). I have eaten other Asian food exactly once here in Waterloo, and it wasn't really Asian (or good).

At least the Spicy Chicken Wraps are good. Though they make me perspire like crazy each time I eat one. It allows me to drink two bottles of water per wrap I eat.
