More College / Career Opportunity Stuff.
Okay. So have any of you ever felt like something was.... like... your calling in life?
I am really starting to feel confident about this Chinese thing.
Immediately after I had started considering taking the Chinese language course over this summer, a lady by the name of Brenda Phelps came up to me representing a large business firm (T & E International) and she was looking for students interested in going abroad for an opportunity to travel to China and go see the Olympics there while doing small vendor services for her company. The trip, Olympics ticket, housing, food, EVERYTHING except the usual spending money - completely covered and funded for. I was like... omg. Let me pee myself please. Anyways, she's going to call me tomorrow night with more information on this stuff and will let me know ASAP if she can get the tickets - she'd be traveling with me as well. She seems pretty reliable, ive checked out the site, the company, have done multiple interviews with her, and possibly might be able to attend a company meeting this wednesday to get more information, she was offering to talk to my grandad too if he had any worries or concerns. She's a very sweet lady ^^ I really hope this ends up working out because dude. Omg. Trip to China. And it's be on August 18 for 4 days so it doesnt interfere with my summer class, and by then i'd be relatively familiar with the chinese language so this is an opportunity that should not e taken lightly!! ^^
Aside from that, I went to work today - nothing real eventful. Came home, looked up some scholarships - one of which I need a letter of reccomendation for which I ought to be able to get easily. Also checked out some internship and scholarship opportunities of working with the CIA for this following summer '09 to get a good start on career stuff - though im not too sure yet if i want to join them. Just a thought.
Anyways. Think I might have strep throat. Started on some antibiotics and I've been drinking a lot of hot tea to soothe it all. Sam said I was officially a walking pharmacy because of the amount of medication I've been on these last few days. But I'm getting better which is always a good thing.
Well I think I'm gonna pick up my RoTK novel and read a bit, diddle around and watch tv, then get some shuteye. I gotta open tomorrow but I took a nap earlier so I should be okay.
Sorry for the obnoxious post. I'm just so excited that I feel like I know where my life is going and it's going to involve something I love! ^^
To think. It all started with a videogame, haha.
Oyasumi~!
