i havent updated in this place for a while, and with good reason. ive been very busy with life lately. i feel like im living my life as it would be when i finally have a family: the 9-5, coming home doing some errands, eating with a family member here and meeting with a friend there, and working out before heading off to bed. my job, though hardly generous when it comes to pay, is very rewarding. it is a stark contrast to my other job, where my sister complained of me coming home smelling like windex, clorox, lysol, or some lethal combination of any of those three. i dont come home sweaty, tired, looking like i labored in the fields or something. i have to dress "professionally" and people address me as "sir" and speak with a mellow voice. im away from home when everyone else is, and im out free when everyone else is. at work i sit in front of the computer all day, sometimes not even taking a lunch break, and i have a panoramic view of the la skyline..i feel like an executive; i have my best friends here, and theres of course the requisite one coworker that you hate. theres so many places to get good food here in monterey park! who knew this wasteland had anything to offer? anyway, my trip to boston was a blast. easily the best four days of 2007, and i would do it again in a heartbeat if i had 500 dollars for a plane ticket. my stepmom and i dropped off my stepsister as she is going to harvard to get her masters degree for god-knows-what major. some science i think, because she wants to be a doctor of internal medicine. im EXTREMELY jealous, at the fact that she gets to move away and the fact that she got into harvard. my stepmom assured me she is not smart, but made up for it with community service and leadership training, which makes it all the better for me since im not "smart" in that sense either. because of this, ive also thought about studying away, using it as a means to move out. im considering pratt in brooklyn or NYU for my masters. and then ill drop the bomb and tell my parents that im staying there; although they know ive been wanting to move to new york anyway. speaking of which, i registered for classes at cal state long beach. it was such a stressful day. since interior design people are given priority for classes, industrial design people (like me) are pushed aside and get spots if there are any left from the interior design students. on top of that, the counselors at cypress simply do not know any better, and i got very, very misleading information. so next semester i have to take a couple more classes there before i get GE certified. and theres a physics class i had to take there as well, but i will end up taking it at long beach because itll probably be more convenient to do it all in one school. so that ends my spontaneous urge to write in this journal.
