Wishful thinking
Walking back up to my apartment, I had a growing sense of anticipation. I’m not sure why because I’m not even talking to someone, yet there was something inside of me that was telling me, maybe there will be a surprise. Maybe I’ll have some wonderful secret admirer. And just like the scene from 500 Days of Summer, my expectations did not meet reality.  But today was still a...

At Epoch
trying to be productive but I’m obviously not. I really like this coffee shop and I want to take a picture, but I don’t want to kill the mood.

monday, jan 30
volunteered for the first time at workforce solutions: it was cool and not as frightening as i thought it would be. I also got hit on by a client (people we file income taxes for), that was weird i fell trying to catch the bus, people saw me, it was slightly embarrassing. this probably sounds sad, but i think im getting used to falling down in public. i’m obviously not as graceful as I...

Caffe Medici
I have been to every Caffe Medici in Austin! This is such a hip place that everyone in their late 20s always want to meet here. And by meet, I mean conduct business meetings. I wonder if I’m older if I will have business meetings here to? Did my bosses pick this place because they liked it, or did they pick this place out of tradition. Also realized that things I thought were only...

Happy Chinese New Year!
I’m a strange girl, who likes to join the hype. Not really sure what that says about my character. I don’t celebrate Chinese New Year, my new year is in mid-april, but I like to be superstitious occasionally. I cleaned my room last night, so that it will be clean for today and because I knew it was getting out of control! I hate how today is supposed to be representative of how my...

Timing
Is such an interesting thing. I have to keep on reminding myself that everything happens for a reason. That if things were meant to be, then everything would have worked out—timing would have been on my side. But some things didn’t work out, and I have to accept that.  It’s just hard as a mofo sometimes.

first days
It doesn’t feel like school has started.  I also think I’m getting more awkward. Actually, I’m just not thinking too much about the things I say, so that puts me in awkward situations that I can’t get out of. Story of my new life.  Debating between intermediate accounting and global health issues. Probably drawing this out more than I need to, but I’m leaning...

2012 Update
Chopped off my hair, 12 inches, donated it to Patene Beautiful Lengths. I only needed to chop off 8 inches, but my hair stylist, thought otherwise. Too impulsive and too impatient to have just waited for my regular hair stylist. Still getting used to the haircut, so maybe it will “grow” on me. hahaha, im so funny. I’m still sick, but I think the cold is nearing its end so...

2011 Reflection
2011: I spent a lot of this year feeling lost and trying to find myself.  2012: I’m comfortable with myself, and excited for the adventures to unfold. Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. -Rumi (quote courtesy of ka ying) **ended 2011/started 2012 sick, but I wouldn’t have this day to reflect/finally do nothing.
