I have spent way too much time in The Caf!

How do I know that?  Because last night, I had a dream, and I was there!  But the guy I like was in it too, so that was nice.  He works there too. :)

WHEN I'M UNIMPRESSED WITH THE DINNER OPTIONS

[musicxkeepsxmexalive]

Remaining a Red!

So I am not a Blue Shirt/Student Supervisor.

After the interview, I did not think I was going to get it at all.  I thought that way for a while.  Then, the thought, "What if I get it? But I still feel like I am not ready!  Do I decline?"  Then, I had to tell myself that you will figure it out when the answer comes.

So people were talking about responses at Dinner last night.  I checked before I came to work, but there was nothing.  I tried looking during my break, but I couldn't find it on my phone.  On break, I am getting something to eat, and I see a Blue Shirt.  Conversation below:

 Me: Hey. 

Blue: Hey.  I'm sorry.

Me: Oh I didn't look yet. 

Blue: Oh! I'm sorry.

Me: That's okay.

Blue:  It was a tough applicant pool.  We encourage all to apply next year.

Me: How many did you pick?

Blue: 6. So 50/50 shot.

Me: Alright.  Thanks! :)

Blue: Yeah no problem.

I checked my email after work, and I saw it.  It was a generic email.  I am honestly not too upset about it.  I have become I think less sensitive about things like that since I've come to college.  I don't know.  I like it though.  I am going to talk to the Student Manager tomorrow after my shift to see what I can improve on.  Maybe I will apply next year, or maybe I will be one of those old Red Shirts that is just close to the Blue Shirts.  Who knows! 

I think I have become a lot more interactive with people on shift and the Blue Shirts this semester.  I work 1 Dinner, 2 lunches, and 1/2 a  Breakfast shift.  Last semester, I worked 2 Breakfast Shifts.  It's early, and I was new to working.  I subbed for Dinners sometimes.  I couldn't work/sub any lunches because of my classes.  If I was more interactive, I could have possibly been more confident in my abilities.  Also, it was the first time I have ever made a resume or written a cover letter, so they were probably not that good.   Those can be improved.  Now I know what the interview was like: the questions and the amount of people in the room. 

Overall, I learned a lot.  I'm glad I tried, and I'll see what I decide to do next year!

Like you mean Covert Action Fairies?" "This has nothing to do with the CAF. Forget you even heard of the CAF. They don't exist.

I was in the Hot Seat tonight!

So tonight was my Student Supervisor/Blue Shirt interview! I thought it was just going to be me and the Student Manager. That was not the case. It was the Student Manager, the manager, and oh, just all of the Blue Shirts! I walk to the room, and though the window, I see them all sitting in there! I was like "shit!" I had some time to collect myself because I was early, and they took like 5 minutes or so to talk about the previous candidate! So they started out with an ice breaker. They all introduced themselves with their favorite disney movie. Some questions were expected/okay. Others threw me off! I was sweating, and maybe I should have taken off my scarf! I was playing with my hands. I was repetitive, and I felt that I was giving really short answers. I don't know. I realized the major responsibilities of a Blue Shirt, and I am feeling less confident in myself. I think I'm expecting a Rejection letter. I'm glad I applied anyway. I was originally just going to wait until next year to apply. I convinced myself to take the chance this year. I will be a lot more prepared for next year if I do get that "you aren't ready to be a Blue Shirt this year" email.

Step 1: Complete in the knick of time!

So the Student Supervisor application was due today at 4:30! I hand it in at 4:27! It was so close, like holy shit! And the times for interviews next week (9:30, 10:00, 10:30, and 11:00)are at night, not in the morning! I put down 10:30 and 11:00 because I thought if rather skip 1 day of Chinese that I have everyday than micro and East Asian studies class that I have only twice a week! But no. It's PM times. I decided to keep it because he would probably be fair and give the people who handed in earlier the times they wanted. Since I was probably the last one, I will probably get the later times anyway. Whatever. I'm glad I decided to apply! I would have been probably kicking myself if I didn't. I'm really excited and nervous too!
