I guess there's been a lot of changes in my life this past year. Lifestyle-wise. I still keep an aquarium, but recently I've been getting back into orchids. It started with a dendrobium nobile I bought for myself after graduation around a year and a half ago. My co-worker's mom (who is also into orchids) gave me two keikis from her own plants for ( Read more... )

Been a bit pre-occupied lately and not been online much. My dad's not been doing too well, and it's been difficult getting him to a doctor since they've all turned him away saying that they can't do anything for him. There's a hospital in the area that's really good; they're our last hope ( Read more... )

Finally figured out what I’m gonna do in life, more or less. Just gotta talk to a career counselor to see how I can achieve it. Kinda dreading that tho, hahaha. Just watch them say, “it’s too late” or something like that. I shouldn’t psych myself out.

I hate thinking up options for for the future because it makes me realize how little options I have ( Read more... )

I just realized that I've been getting better sleep this year. I remember last year (and the year before) when I would toss and turn around in bed, trying to go to sleep. It got so bad last year that I frequently couldn't sleep until 4am in the morning, so couldn't get up for my 8am classes, and I would get drowsy in my other classes. It was ( Read more... )

So I'm taking summer classes at my uni, and working as an intern at the school herbarium. It's great. I look forward to my Tuesdays and Thursdays because working at the herbarium is so fun! My supervisors are so friendly and nice, and I'm working with an awesome person named Katie. However today was an exception ( Read more... )

So I had to move from my university apartment to my new place over the summer. I brought my car from home, so I had to move everything by myself. Let me get this out there first: I am not a strong person. I don't have any upper body strength at all, so it was quite a challenge. My check-out time was noon. I thought that I packed most of my stuff ( Read more... )

After studying my ass off for my finals, I have to say I'm glad I passed all my classes. I don't know, I always feel so unmotivated spring quarter, and I wish I was one of those whiz kids who remember everything the first time they learn it, but I'm not. So I pretty much didn't do so well on my midterms. For the classes that require work to be ( Read more... )

I had another interview to be a lab assistant the other day. I think it went went a lot better than the first interview I had a week-ish ago. The grad student's research is really interesting to me, so it would be awesome if I could work under her. Well, we'll see ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I got a callback from one of the internships I applied to, asking for an interview today. This was my first interview, and I was really nervous. I left my interview clothes back at college, so I had to make do with what I had at home. I thought that I could wear a pair of dress pants that I got from a family friend and this collared ( Read more... )

I got an intership at the herbarium at my school! :D Definitely doesn't directly relate to my area of study (microbiology), but I find plants really interesting and I'm really excited for it! I start next quarter, and if I do a good job, I might get a summer paid position. Then I can stay at college over the summer and finish up my GEs.
