Not really. Just because it's a change of a year doesn't necessarily mean anything's different. I realized that I have neglected this page for way too long so now it is time to UPDATE!
School started in early January and it's been treating me well. Classes are amazing as always, with the exception of orgo, and friends are amazing as always. It's nice to know that I no longer have to worry about stuff like trying to plug myself in somewhere. I've already settled into college with a home church to permanently go to, and a solid group of friends that I can constantly go to in times of need. All I have to worry about now is my paper for my Inquiries to Arts and Humanities class and remember to post on discussion boards in Blackboard. It's all a matter of time management and trying to figure out where my time goes.
Lately though, I've gotten very lazy and apathy has steadily increased. My care for the world just doesn't exist. I hate volunteering my time and I hate talking about politics and social justice. Tell me again why I'm in a Social Justice Honors class and I'm giving up my last spring break ever to go to New Orleans to rebuild houses from the Hurricane Katrina disaster? Maybe there's some kind of message going on here. But in any case, it's not just my care for the world but my care for my own education as well. I'm no longer putting in as much time as effort as I did my first week of the new semester. I constantly procrastinate and push everything off until last minute. It's a terrible habit that I really need to kick, especially if I want to increase my GPA to get a nice co-op next year.
My summer plans are finally kicked into gear. I've submitted everything for my application to be a TA at CTY, my application to be an OL on Northeastern's campus this summer, and I've already been selected for the China Dialogue for all of July and August. All that's left now is to decide which one to choose. As of now, I haven't really given much thought to CTY because my chances of getting in are very slim and I could honestly care less about the program. I think I might drop the application altogether if I get into the OL program because I just don't want to deal with telephone interviews; I don't have time for them. I REALLY want to be an OL but it's such a competitive program, so I'm hoping and praying that I'll get the job. I wrote an amazing song for my 5-7 minute presentation during my interview, and I honestly LOVE the school SO much; I don't see why I won't get the job (just sayin'). My meeting for my China Dialogue is tomorrow so I'm hoping I will love the people there because if I don't then there's not chance in hell I'm going. I want to be able to like the people there so I can enjoy my summer and have fun. Hopefully everything works out. I'm leaving it in God's hands.
There was really no meaning in this post. I guess it was more to update on life and whatnot. It's Chinese New Year for another 2 minutes so Gong Xi Fah Tsai, Gong Hay Fat Choi to all!
I miss home cooked Chinese food :(
