Just four years ago, I was being the typical stupid HS student showing off about graduating and going to college.

Now I'm done O_O"

Not sure.

Feels exciting actually... 'cause college is exhausting :) especially when it feels like a lot of the ppl don't like you. 

I'm not even concerned about finding a FT job anymore. After the whole senior year, I feel like what's important to me right now is to do things that I enjoy. 
HS was stressful at that time, but I always had time to do something I like (band/sing/dance/play some instrument/draw/etc).

... and this is if I pass Thesis... which I won't know yet until probably grad. LOL 

Finals week for this week and the next, and I'll be done. 

Looking forward:

Week long South Dakota trip
Finding a job
Break from being afraid of classes/professors XD
Pictures from NYRP (they're about to install the designs I made for them for wetland restoration!! :D)
Backyard + Frontyard makeover :D
Maybe starting a food blog: first recipe = dimsum :D
Continue with learning songs on piano
Seek guitar lessons if friend stays!  

I'll try to be more consistent in sharing my ideas :) .. First they need to get out of my head and onto paper or photo or something! Turn them into action!

So.. when I get home today, or tomorrow morning, the first thing I will do is take pictures of my lovely seedlings. The most obvious ones so far are tomato plants (because I forgot what I planted in the other slots haha). The basil is also growing, but not quite as fast. There's a shorter seedling growing out that's either a pepper or cucumber plant... I THINK pepper since I think I would have recognized a cucumber plant since I've planted it before.I had a nightmare last night / this morning actually about how all my seedlings died because I forgot to water them :'( This is really my fault because truth is I forgot to water them for two days in a row and last night, they were starting to get extremely wilty when I got home. Gave them some water ASAP, and just hoped they'll still be alive this morning 

The nightmare was that they didn't survive. Thankfully when I checked this morning, they were coming back up XD ::whew:: I just hate that smooshy/wilty feeling plants have when they're starting to dryout and die. Now they're getting more solid and fuzzy again :) 

Yup. Goal #1 - Seedling pictures to be up soon!

I really want to get a new hand-held digital camera. Using the DSLR is great because I can learn more about manually taking photos, and I have better control over the end results, but carrying it along with my laptop and books for school is just too much for me sometimes. There'd be times when I realize how free I can actually feel without my gigantic rock of a bookbag! 

Aiming at the Canon s95 at the moment. Maybe I'll save up and buy it for my own graduation + first job present :D Hahaha hope it goes well! 

And having a new camera, I should really also follow up more with my photography/writing habits. I really think I have so many ideas bottled up inside me that I never bring out! So many new places I've tried, new places I've went to, and new recipes I've cooked went away without me documenting and sharing. Also, drawings! I'm still doodling little storylines on my notes... :) I posted a couple on Tumblr before and was encouraged to continue by some friends. I just never, like the other stuff, followed up with it.

Karyn's slowly starting her skin-products/jewelry business :) She's selling some products already, but she just doesn't get motivated enough to be doing it every day. I think she's nervous about the amount of time and money she'd have to invest for an unknown amount of returned revenue/interest from people ><" Which is, normal... That's the number 1 concern for any type of business, afterall. 

:D I really support her though! It'll be so awesome to be able to have your own line or little online store even and sell things that you create yourself. 
I always listen to any of her concerns about it, and try to give advice. I even offered to photograph her products with her XD Hehehe. I'd actually be very interested in doing so because I love taking pictures. Just hope she knew I was serious when I said it x_x" 

Both from Dolphin and from OSDA. Not only have I NOT met any coworker/supervisor who's mean/nasty as shows portray, but I can honestly consider everyone that I work with to be a great friend. T_T I can actually get teary from talking about how thankful I am to be working for/with them because they are so so nice. They are nice even when I have slips/trips (like being late, or forgetting to do something). 

And since they all know that I need money, my cousin's a new immigrant and needs a job, or I need a job after graduation, they don't hesitate to give me feedback, or give me links to job opportunities or events for networking. ~Sigh what more can you really ask for when you want a perfect working environment?? 

Now instead of worrying about not having a job, I am worrying about which path I should choose! The easy/safe way of applying to FT office positions?? Or the hard/no money way of internships and part time/seasonal jobs related to my major?? 

ahh! 

They are SO AWESOME. :')
I will miss OSDA especially since I won't be able to work with them when I graduate. 
I really would hope I can keep in constant contact with them.
