Heroes demotivational

Here's my first attempt at a demotivational:



After reading the story about Bono clapping his hands every few seconds, saying that every time he claps his hands a child in Africa dies and someone telling him to stop clapping, but I found out this story is just a myth, plus there's already a few demos about that.
Anyway, I found out MS Powerpoint is the perfect tool for making demotivationals :D

Update! Dusting off the blog

It's been almost two years since my last post. It's not like I totally forgot about it, I actually thought about posting here and there, though the posts would be something like "Oh I haven't posted in soooo long, I should do it soon", making me that kind of blogger, which I don't want. Anyway, now I'll try to post more regularly.

Here's what happened in the past 2 years in a nutshell:
After graduating I started looking for a job, first in Nova Gorica and surroundins. Unfortunately I was cought in the "experience magic circle" (you can't get a job because you lack experience, but you can get experience if you don't have a job) and the "no money for internship excuse". See, many of the jobs I could do with my degree require me to first finish a year of internship first (in case someone who wants to go to FSD reaches this blog: BEWARE! It's really tough getting a job as a social worker!).
Then in September (still 2009) I moved to Ljubljana with my girlfriend as she started school here. I started looking for a job here, I even went to some interviews, but got nothing. Towards the end of the year I enrolled back to my old school to upgrade my degree to a university one (as opposed to the college one), which I got in February (2010). Now my full title is "Rok Gomišček, univ. dipl. soc. del". After that still no luck with getting a job, though I got better at Guild Wars at that time...
In the middle of Summer luck seemed to be about to change as finally there was an official call for 200 internship places by the social chamber. The protocol was as follows: get in touch with an organisation (no list given), they send an application form for you and in the case of more than 200 applicants, you get scored on various criteria. As I found out about this somewhat later and I was at the sea at that time, I started sending emails to various organisations whether they'd take me for the internship. I got a few replies back that they wanted to meet me for an interview, but I also got a reply from MDMB, with an internship plan and no need for interviews, just signing the papers. To cut a long story short, I didn't get the internship, because this organisation falls under the education chamber and not under the social chamber.
Then I decided to go to school again, as it's better than just sit and wait for a job and do nothing else. I applied for psychology and computer science, didn't get in the first one, but got accepted in the latter. I'm happy there, doing fine, just finished the first semester.
Oh, and we finally got a Wii :D

That's about the bigger changes in the past two years. Stay tuned for new posts ;)

PS: If you check the previous post, I got another wish granted (about the next pokemon generation) :)

A wish came true!

One of the wishes I made in a November '08 entry came true! They have finally unveiled the names for the 2nd Pokémon generation games remake: Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Yes, I find the names strange too. I prefer the speculated Dusk and Dawn, or Sun and Moon. Oh well, as long as there is the remake on the way :D Though one of the greatest things about the 2nd generation was the HUGE step forward the games made (day/night, shinies, colours, ...) and being remakes I doubt there will be any big improvements. Let's hope for them in the next gen in about 2-3 years ;)

Rok Gomišček, dipl. soc. del.

I did it! Yesterday I finally graduated!
Even though I had been somewhat nervous the previous day and had a terrible night (two graduation related nightmares), when I got in front of the blackboard to defend my thesis, I felt good and gave a good presentation. After that my mentor gave some comments and asked me a question I didn't totally understand, but somehow I answered her. The other two teachers just gave "short" talks and no questions. After a bit of waiting they told me I got an 8 for both the thesis and presentation. I was disappointed as I expected at least a 9... Anyway, my overall grade is so still a perfect 8, which I always considered my lucky number.
After graduating we (dad, Ana and me) went to a Mongolian restaurant in Ljubljana, where we had a great all-you-can-eat lunch. The waitress found out that I graduated and gave me a tie to match my shirt ^^
Later, in the afternoon, the adrenaline subsided and tiredness came. :)
