does making goals for yourself really help you to go places? well, i suppose...because once you've done anything you can say it was because you had made a goal to do so. but otherwise, new years resolutions are just bullshit.
tmrw (the 22nd) will mark a month since i've returned. not sure how i'm feeling about it yet. although now i can definitely look back at korea and say that it was a good choice. the entire time that i was away, i was so scared that i was going to regret it. but definitely no regrets. besides, there was no way that i could have been in a place in my life where i could do something like that a few years down the road.
still unemployed and rather bored. but i'm working on that. i'm applying for an unpaid fashion internship at fashion magazine that would last for 3 or 4 months. i'm also applying for paid internships via this website that kate told me about: career edge. it's a site for new grads who have little experience, and it helps you find paid internships in relevant fields. i applied for two positions, both marketing-related: one with TD where i'll be helping to promote and organize some "friends of the environment" social program, and the other with bell helping with customer retention and loyalty marketing. i'm more interested in the one with TD, but we'll see where it goes. i would love love LOVE to work for fashion magazine even if it's unpaid...but there are prob so many ppl who have more to show for themselves than i do (ie/ went to school for fashion, etc). but it's really what i want to get into, so it's a long shot but i'm optimistic =)
i've spent some time scrapbooking. yes, scrapbooking. it's always good to have hobbies to keep yourself busy. i finished my first scrapbook for my year traveling abroad, which includes everything except for korea. i'm working on the korea one now. and it could almost bring me to tears b/c i miss my friends so much =(((( the other day i was reading through my students' goodbye letters to me, and even though a lot of them made zero sense, i could really tell that my kids were upset to have me go. sadness =*(((((
weekend plans: dinner tonight with york ppl, kristina's bday saturday night, sunday = chilling.
