so much of this blog is dedicated to the bad moments and trying to be better, which is maybe the asian in me talking, but last week was maybe the first time since i've become an st that i seriously though about quitting the field forever, but then i read somewhere that you should never quit on a bad day, so it feels like i should maybe be making a ( Read more... )

i'm resolving to be better at documenting things, especially the weird and bizarre, so! my labour day weekend! it was all kinds of fun and strange and exciting! i got to go to minnesota (for likely the first and last time, and to be honest i wouldn't have gone at all anna hadn't just moved back and was willing and able to put me up). i had a ( Read more... )

ALMOST OFFICIALLY GRADUATED

three months till i get my diploma, but i've been hooded and everything!

which means it's just a little over a year till i get to go home for good~

almost four months since a last real post. i do my best work under pressure.

it's weird that i'm not coming home to document the days that i just stop at work and think holy shit this is awesome. this is the best job in the world. i never want to do anything else. because i have more days like those than i thought i would, even a year ago ( Read more... )

you know that feeling you get from inadvertently doing an awful thing to someone you've grown to truly despise and then getting an unholy amount of joy out of it? i didn't either, until tonight! i laughed so much i thought i was going to be sick, and i'm not even sorry. if nothing else, tonight has taught me that being petty brings you much more ( Read more... )

crazy busy today (and really every entry i've written / will write in this three month timeframe should just come with that as a disclaimer) and what i should be doing is completing it all or trying to sleep off this fucking cold, but instead i'm going to cuddle in bed and bask a little bit in the feeling of finally cracking that wall - after eight ( Read more... )

there is so much that is crazy about life right now. the hours, the commute, the work. but i think it's working. everything's starting to come together in a way that didn't really happen for me last year. a big part of that is recognising that as good as evanston was to me, chicago is where i should be. need to be. i try not to think about all that ( Read more... )

crazy wonderful amazing whirlwind of a week, and i can finally talk about it without fear of ruining the surprise for anyone!

sunday:

• make it through 14 hours of flying (5 eps of friends, 5 movies, and a 2-hour nap), a two hour layover in dubai, 7 more hours of flying (3/4 a movie and 4.5 hours of on and off napping)
  
• TOUCHDOWN IN SINGAPORE!

i really should be writing my essay, or studying for any one of my three finals next week, or working on my client report, or preparing for the session, but all i really want to do is curl up in bed with my laptop and youtube the blackhawks all day. I'M JUST HAVING A LOT OF FEELINGS, OKAY. i probably wouldn't be, if i wasn't in this particular city ( Read more... )

totally crazy couple of weeks, but i can safely say this spring break has been a pretty successful one. lots of productive time spent in disneyworld, universal studios, and then traipsing the south on my first ever road trip! all of this done in the company of smileynic, so i've also gotten to use my singlish again. yay ( Read more... )
