Heya~. Here I am again~. I just finished writing notes for module 8 of the hematology class I'm taking right now. I have been trying to get notes and assignments done for these extension classes. I guess since last time I wrote until now, one of the big news is me making it into CLS programs! I got into both programs at UCI and CSULA~. I was waitlisted on both of them at first though. I'm overjoyed and grateful when I found out the news. Now I am "fighting" the other half of the battle: passing these classes I'm taking, especially hematology. The set up of these classes makes passing it challenging even if you do well on other assignments, getting a 70% or lower constitutes a failing grade in the class. I don't like that setup. But I will play it. For now. I'm going to focus working toward my goals. I feel discouraged now and then, but I remind myself of how much anxiety and hard work I gave to get to this point. I want to give my best so even if I don't pass a class, I won't feel disappointed in myself because I didn't give my best.
I have been trying just to live everyday. By live, I mean realize the goodness in everyday and not wish to skip forward. After these 24 years, I learned that at any point in life, one can always wish to fast forward because there is an issue at hand. I want to learn to deal with whatever is present and enjoy the time I have now. I have been slowly doing school work and working at my part time job. I look forward to little craft projects I want to do, hangouts with my boyfriend on the weekends, Sunday lunch with my family, and other little things that pop up now and then (like eating crawfish this weekend or planning for a trip this summer). Well, I will continue living and enjoying my ordinary life now. Until next time then.
I bought a nightstand today and I am loving it! No more tossing books and my iPad on the floor. And tissue box, water bottle, pens, and pencils. No more waking up to crushed glasses and phone. I'm fortunate to have such sturdy glasses or else I would have no money left for anything else! It was a spontaneous buy and kind of a splurge. I mentioned to Quan that I'm looking to buy a nightstand. I originally planned to check out Goodwill first but Quan asked, "Why not go to Ikea?". Brilliant idea! Somehow Ikea, my poor-college-student-go-to furniture store didn't cross my mind. So off we went on a spontaneous furniture shopping trip.
I haven't gone back in soooo long. I felt like a kid on a field trip. I sat on sofas, chairs, beds, and....tables and also wanted to buy almost everything. I came with the intention of buying a $15 wooden night stand but of course came across a plethora selection of nightstands and side tables. A $20 French and chic side table caught my eyes but when I saw this one, "we clicked". The only issue was that it was $30! Decisions, decisions... I tend to lean toward the cheaper one because it's my nature I guess. But this one looks modern and sleek and is available in white! The only thing holding me back was the price. But my boyfriend was my consultant and after some time, I decided I'd "splurge" on a nightstand today. We managed to make it outside with just the nightstand, a set of extension cords, and of course the famous $1 Ikea "frozen yogurt". I will be a happy sleeper tonight.
So I haven't written in ages! 2 years to be exact. I decided that I would make a comeback. I should do school work right now...why am I awake and updating a 2 year old blog....
Anyways, I'm excited and looking forward to be writing more regularly from now on about my new exciting adventures in life. My positive 365 project totally failed...eek.I did go on an interview for the UCI CLS training program today....Yah, long story. Let me do a gradual update on my life...I should go to sleep now. I'll leave you with a brochure, a folder, and my fancy sticker name tag. Peace.
