Life After Graduation

I am a graduate. My 4 years at the university were incredible and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. I made friends. I made memories. I made a lifetime of achievements. Although I came out unemployed, I still believe I have it so much better than it would have been if I would have chosen a route without a formal education.

I am currently looking for employment. I have sent in numerous of resumes in hopes that my future becomes somewhat more stable. Life was pretty much predictable until graduation. I knew I would be going to school, going to my part-time job, doing homework, hanging out, and then came summer…then the cycle would repeat again. Year after year, after year. This was a cycle of school and then summer that continued for about 17 years.

I have graduated now. I have my Bachelors degree. I won’t be going back to school like before. I have chosen not to go to attend graduate school…at least…for now. The excitement of graduation was something I always anticipated. I longed the day when I would no longer have homework and to study for test that at the time, I found completely futile. Many people graduate missing school, but what I miss most is the social aspect of seeing my friends regularly and the stability. I do miss the education factor, but I can easily do with the test taking.

Now, I have entered reality. I am on week 2 of my hunt for employment. Yes, I have turned in several resumes in to various opportunities and have had an interview already. However, what am I really looking to do? What am I willing to settle for? I don’t think I’ll ever find an answer that best fits that. Life after graduation has been kind to be so far, so I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead.

We need to break in…

With Christmas approaching, Khang and I have been holiday shopping and returning for several days. Today, as we were leaving the house, Khang had to run back inside to check something on the internet, so he took the keys to unlock the house door. I sat in the car waiting and when he came back…he had no keys. O___o

I thought, I’ll probably call someone and hopefully someone could pick me up and bring me to my moms work nearby…but instead, Khang said he could break in. Very boy thing to do yea?

Well…

First he tried the downstairs bathroom window…

Then he tried the garage window…

Then we decided my room since I just opened my window earlier that day to air out the dog smell…the difficult part was that he parked his truck RIGHT under my window. lol…awesome huh?

He managed to open it! The biggest problem was gripping it open…how did we do it? We went into his truck to grab his GPS that was on the window and took the suction cup thing and used that to drag the window hahahaa

The weather was cold..and rainy..plus we had been walking all over my lawn…luckily, on his own courtesy, he took off his shoes before entering my room!! haha, I wanted to ask him too, but I didn’t think it would be the appropriate time haha… >__>

If you look closely…his shoe is off lol

(I took these pics while holding the ladder with my phone lol)

My head…it hurts

Last night, my brother parked behind Khang’s car and we needed to get to it since we were driving his little sister and my little cousin home. I asked for his keys when I was downstairs near the front door, and he yelled “catch” from the dinning room… a room where I couldn’t see him from…. and 2 second later, a set of keys smacked me in the head.

Now I have 2 lumps on the right side of my head. Wth. When I yelled at him, he said “I thought you could catch!”………………….

The dog we named Snow

Hey all!

It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged, but let’s get you folks updated. I am currently studying Mandarin in Beijing and I’m learning a lot, whoot. I’ll admit though, this is the first time on a trip (not counting when I was sick), that I’ve actually been home sick, ahh.

Well, I have class 5 days a week for 4 hours each class and the people in my class are really awesome, plus, our teachers are really kind to us.

BUT! the point of this blog is to tell you about this little dog right outside our apartment complex. On the first day it snowed here, I noticed this little dog outside in the snow, wandering around. I thought at first it belonged to someone since it had a red rope around its neck…however, we ran into her a few more times…and the weather here is also mighty cold.

After seeing the cute puppy and realizing how cold the weather was, Jane decided to start feeding it. So she has made a doggie dish to give it dog food and water. Whenever we notice her on our way home, Jane rushes to get food prepared and we go outside to find it…SO..this dog is ALWAYS around this general area, but..whenever we look for her..shes gone >___< so sometimes..when we go outside to feed her right after we go home..shes gone?! lol…wth?

Hello fall, goodbye ceiling

Well…remember my previous post about my ceiling being fixed on July 27th?…well..turns out it was only temp.

With the fall weather setting in, the weather recently has been rain, rain and more rain. These last few days have been pouring down rain like no other…yikes.

As I had the lights off in my bedroom..I noticed that the blotch on my ceiling looked…rather…large..and I noticed that the big wet spot in the ceiling also had a friend growing. Crap. I stood up in the dark to check and bingo. Wet. Well..it was late and I couldn’t do anything about it in the meantime anyway.

I got up the next morning to find that the spots were only growing >____< I need a fixing! That picture is taken from EXACTLY where my head would lay on my bed. Lovely yea?
