east to west, and back

sadly the response of the panel from the ESO audition was that "no one really stood out".
they decided not to let anyone advance to the 2nd round, meaning they're not hiring at this national round.
fuck, gotta find money to go to the international round.

this is a real wake up call.
i need to prepare a lot better for the next one.
truly a money burning trip.

it was a nice place though, Edmonton.
but too bad it's still rather brown everywhere.
i can imagine it being very beautiful in the summer when there's more greenery.
plus i didn't know they can see the northern lights there as well!
wow, that must be cool.

the flights.. omg.
Toronto to Calgary was scary. so much turbulence.
not only the plane was swinging up and down, but also side to side.
almost dizzied myself looking out the window.
horrible pilots too.
then Calgary to Edmonton was even more scary.
'cause i couldn't fit my case in there. not only the overhead compartment, but also underneath.
good thing the flight attendance was nice enough to store it at the crew's stowaway.
it was a jazz flight. the only cool thing about it was that it's a pretty cool looking plane ('cause it's small and old) with propellers that you can see at the side - horrible to sit above.
and we get to actually go outside the runway to board the plane, just like the movies.

now, back to reality.
time to unpack and repack.
note to self: need to buy shampoo and body wash.
