Haven't felt this stressed or busy since high school.
Bros, like, i've been writing lots of essays (plus editing them) for study abroad scholarships, 5 senior classes, officer duties, volunteering, and working part-time. Now that i've completed a lot of stuff, i can worry about my exams now. Oh well, it's good stress. I considered it as productive instead since there aren't any negative feelings. I still make time for dramas, variety shows, and anime.
Let's see...i don't really have anything to update except of the 'good' stress i'm handling right now. OH, uh, well it's not really an update, but more like, MY ALLERGIES ACTING UP AGAIN. UGH.
T___T literally, every minute i'm sniffing, sneezing, snoozing, and feeling foggy. Medicine barely last me for an hour or so, then i forget to bring them to school the res to of the day >_>
I never had allergic reactions until recently in the last two or so years. I wonder if my immune system is getting worse....i haven't been exercising as much as i wanted to either, so that could've contributed to my condition now. Ah well, i can deal with it (if i remember to bring my medicine).
Alright, gonna continue editing my Gilman essays. GL to me. Ciao.

Productive Winter Break
As the title suggests, it really does seem like i'm working during winter break.
So, finals ended last friday, but it didn't really bother me that I faltered a bit on my grades. Meaning, I finally got my first B in college. I knowwww, it sounds petty, and it really is. From this point on, i don't really care much about my GPA as i do about getting work experience. That was last year's goal, although, it shouldn't have been my only goal. I should've seriously applied for other things, like research, internships, volunteer work, etc. I did not bother to really try them out because i was so focus on homework and working part-time that i did not notice the bigger picture. Now that i'm a junior and have a full-ride scholarship (hallelujah), i realized this late how important it is to be more well-rounded than focusing on one aspect. Whatever, i can't really change the past, so i need to move on >_>
Anywayyy, this thinking resulted in me deciding to intern abroad in Hong Kong next summer. I'm currently working on the app, so i really hope it would be worth it. My main goal was to intern anyway, but when i thought about studying abroad, i was like "Why not?" I always wanted to travel and my parents wanted me to go back to China to work on my Chinese (I speak Cantonese rather than Mandarin so yeah). So, including the program app, i'm applying for more scholarships to help cover the cost (all due in Jan-Feb). SO YEAHHHH lots to write.
And you know what sucks even more? I realized how i should've talked and connected with my teachers = more recommendations. Literally, i'm asking my faculty advisors instead becuz i'm more close with them from being involved with my club and classes (not with the teachers). I never even though about asking my volunteer supervisors or employers either. I was very shy and did what i was supposed to do, but i didn't had the courage to actually ask them, and they were all nice too. UGH where was this advice in high school when i needed it?? TT.TT alright enough of me ranting and time to start writing. Ciao!
