Yeah, I've got a Wii w/ all 3 Smashes -- but if you want a 100% legit controller, you'd need to bring it (but I should have some that play adequately)

I live across the street from bert, but just holla if you were too wasted to remember where that was.

 

[Dekuschrub]

haha sounds good. I have a controllers so i'll bring that

i'll probly show around 3ish tomorrow. i'll call you when i'm around berts (i had been there b4 that night or else i would not remember at all lololol)

 

[bertbusdriver]

i'm a maybe for tmw afternoon. might be leaving tim's place and running back to my apartment every few matches to do laundry

 

[TuxingtonIII]

(lol, either Smashboards was down and coincidentally went up as I switched networks or my lab's VPN now blocks Smashboards o.o)

I'm free anytime this weekend, just drop me a line. so that means Sunday's good for at least me -- but Deku can vouch for how boring it must be to beat me up repeatedly, lol -- I 'won' 1 match out of....

 

[TuxingtonIII]

doodz, I actually might not be here most of finals week, so we should try to get one last gettogether in place.

I should be able to fit in any time between now and Thursday -- after that, not so much, but maybe.

 

[TuxingtonIII]

oh hey, post hat trick

so Battlecow and I are going to noob-smash it up this Sunday, afternoonish. Y'all should come lay down the smack.

 

[Battlecow]

You guys should come play 64. We could money match. For lots of money. I'm really, really bad.

 

[TuxingtonIII]

I'm willing to MM melee. Just the other day I was thinking I had just too much money.

 

[Battlecow]

Well, you won't have to complain about that anymore, after our srs bsns hardcore Melee Money Matches. You're never going to see either of those dollars again.

 

[slomo431]

Matt any luck with your job search yet? Still looking or are you just laying low right now?

 

[_marth1_]

i think i need to get a part time job right now in order to be even considered for a real job

no luck at all with actuary stuff

 

[AOB]

Not having any job at all doesn't look good. It didn't help me any. I volunteered at the library to at least show employers I wasn't just sitting around all day (not every day at least).

Matt, have you also looked into underwriting? That's usually the backup plan people mention on the AO. Heck, most of the stuff I've done so far has been the same thing as the underwriters are doing anyway.

 

[bertbusdriver]

i finish my hardest final on monday. mondaynight/tues/morning-earlyafternoonwed are good for me. i leave friday right after my final at 430. i'll be here for most of the summer though

I keep hearing this from a lot of older people. Even if it's volunteering for some charity they wanna see you doing something. Also helps give you something to say when interviewers ask behavioral questions about how well you work with others.

I think I need to get my resume evaluated by either UIUC Alumni services or Actuarial Outpost or both. I don't even know what a post college resume should look like. Maybe get a mock interview from the Alumni Career Center too.

Although unemployment is pretty nice. They're right, it really does demotivate people from job searching. I'm breaking out of the funk right now though.

 

[AOB]

More importantly, it gives you an answer to a question they always ask. "So what have you been doing since you graduated?" Or got sacked, as the case may be.

Skip any college resume review. Definitely post it on the AO.

 

[bertbusdriver]

i keep telling myself "at least i'm employable" everytime i get an ECE test back. i'm not sure i can even say that after my solid state exam today. i'm not sure if i even beat the average on a single thing in that class

 

[TuxingtonIII]

So I'll be driving back today. I'll probably get there later-ish tonight -- and then I should probably leave before Wednesday evening. There's still the possibility for some quality smashing time between then if anyone's down.

 

[AOB]

Alex, you're doing grad school? Was that going to be here? Or, you know, not here, but there.

 

[bertbusdriver]
