10 years after

The question about where I see myself in 10 years has always bugged me. Whenever someone asks me the question I have a really hard time finding and answer to it. In high school I didn't know what I was going to after I had graduated. It was sort of a last minute decision to go into Mech. Eng. Also, I have a real hard time setting goals for the future. So 10 years is even harder for me to figure out where I'll be.

If I had to answer the question I would start with the first couple of years. I guess I would like to move out after I graduate, work for a few years after I'm out of school and pay off school and car insurance. Then I would go for a vacation somewhere for a while. After that I would keep working and then I'd like to get married at some point.

From this I guess I see myself, in 10 years, working in a job that I enjoy and hopefully married. I would also like to have a place of my own and get a better car. I'm not sure whether I would move out of Kelowna or not. I really like living here but I think that it would be nice to move somewhere else and get a better view of the world.

This blog is starting to get really boring and is really hard for me to write so I'm going to end it while I'm ahead.

Well this is the last word from me for now. Ciao once again.

Inventions O' Mine

I have always been interested in inventing new things and pulling stuff apart and making it into something new. When I was little (No short jokes please) I was addicted to LEGO. I would spend hours and hours in my room just building whatever came out of my imagination. This carried throughout the years until I finally gave up my LEGO. I find myself missing it sometimes. Anyways, my imaginative mind brought me other materials to modify to my liking. This included my modified remote control car, an across the room light switch shut off (this was a popsicle stick taped to the switch and then a piece of string attached to it which went around something on the roof and came down beside me) and most recently a sword that I made from 1x4. These aren't really inventions but they're the closest things to inventions that I've done. I always come up with ideas of inventions that would be really good but I usually forget about it in a couple of hours.

I personally thought that the show American Inventor was really interesting. Some people had really good ideas. Most of them didn't though. My favorite thing about the show was that people would bring things in that were "their inventions" when they were just a variation of something that had already been invented. It was really interesting to see some of the inventions that people had come up with though.

In grade 11 I entered the physics olympics with a couple other people. Our challenge was to build a hovercraft using 2 computer fans. It took some time and was a blast to make. We didn't place but I was still proud of what we did.

Well I think thats all from me for now. I have an urge to pull something apart and rebuilt it.
ciao,

Interview Me!

Ah, the good old days of job searching. I started my job search when I really began to loath my paper route. I started with some of the "better" places in town, Also known as IGA and the Grand 10. After not receiving any word from either place I decided I needed to lower my standards. So I applied at A&W. Not one of my brightest ideas that’s for sure. They called later on in the day and we set up an interview. The interview was really slack, really relaxed and I ended up getting the job in the end. After I quit A&W I was unemployed for a few months because of school and football. After football season was over I went back on the prowl. I decided that I needed something far above and A&W job. So I applied at a movie theatre that one of my friends worked at. He helped me get an interview and I ended up getting the job. Unfortunately I had to go away for spring break on a trip with my family. This meant that I couldn't start right away. They said that after I came back they would call me and let me know when I started. One and a half weeks later... I was fed up with waiting so I gave them a call. Apparently, the manager that hired me has quit and my resume and cover letter "magically" disappeared and the new manager had no idea who I was. So after a bit of talking I set up a second interview even though I already had a job there *rolls eyes*. I worked for 2 or 3 months and quit because I had a better job lined up at another friend's Uncle's company. I didn't even have an interview there. It was basically, "Hi my name is Morgan," "Hi Morgan, you start on Monday." Yup, that's about the extent of it. It was a good job and paid pretty well.

That’s all for now I suppose. Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
Ciao,
Morgan
