I’m at the point in my Uni career when I really have to start thinking about the real world out there. That means visiting lots of careers fairs and putting work into my CV. (Technically I should now be filling in application forms probably).
I have also been doing some extra curricular careers hunting. On Wenesday night, Google (ok, 3 people in recruitment from Google, not the search engine itself) took out a group of ten female informatics students to dinner. I was one of them. They really didn’t need to, everyone knows Google are super wicked awesome to work for. Which is why they can request crazy things of their interns. Crazy things I’m just not capable of with my meager mind. But still it’s worth applying. They have bean bags, lava lamps and FREE BEN AND JERRY’S in their offices.
On another meeting people note. Last night I went to see Hadouken!. They’re the ones who Bassface plays with. I forgot my ID so was doomed to spend the evening with the 14 year old wannabes covered in apparently non-toxic glow stick innarnds. I was highly amused when Chris came on stage with the band. But you should have seen the crowd. Despite it being past their bedtimes they were going mad. I cannot imagine what a rush it must be earning your money from playing music every night and seeing what an affect you can have upon people. I think I’m dropping out of Uni to make music.
Anyway, I got to see him afterwards which lovely and what not.
Go see Hadouken! if you can get tickets. If you want the real experience then forget your ID. If you want the comfortable, safe, un-sweaty, able-to-drink-alcohol experience then bring it and look down upon the great unwashed swarm that is Hadouken!’s fan base.
