4 days
38 hours of work
7 hours of sleep
and 2 complete presentations later...
i never want to look at another powerpoint again.


but, on the bright side, i'm going to treat myself to all the fattening food i want today and go to bed at 10 PM =)

i have a really intense project for work that i have to hand in in... 10 hours.

which explains why my laundry is done, nails are painted, bathroom floors are sparkling, and fridge is empty.

hmm, what else can i do...?

hello, procrastination, it's been awhile.

hey, you would be avoiding your work too if you had to compile a powerpoint on crisis communication for the military. IN CHINESE.

my boss/uncle's "suggestion" (order) to wake up at 7 AM and go to bed at 11 PM every day is clearly not being carried out very well.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

things i miss about college:

1. being 5 minutes away from my best friends at all times

2. pre-cut grapefruit by chef joe

3. comfy pink couch in the Pi Phi rec room

4. living in sweatpants

5. my pink bike.. with pink basket :)


6. buying crisp new notebooks every semester

7. reading the "notes" i took while falling asleep in class

8. bitching at rachel resneck to change the channel during cash cab

9. thursday being the new friday

10. having an excuse to be completely worthless


tip of the iceberg.
god college was awesome.

墾丁！KENTING BEACH VACA :)

  

Top: arrived, finally!!

Bottom: our view from the beach :)

AWESOME WEEKEND!

Laying out on the beach all day, wandering around night markets and dancing on the beach all night!

This trip was just a tease, I can't wait to go back to the beach and soak up some more rays, not to mention swim in the beautiful and warm ocean!!! Ahhhhhh hitting the beach really made this California girl so happy :)

So nice to have such a relaxing and fun weekend out of the city! 

It made the return all the more painful when it started raining the next day :(

Never doubting myself again.

went dancing with my girlfriends all night,
came home at 3:30,
took a quick shower,
wrote my press release on deadline,
finished packing,
and still have time to spare before the bus leaves in 40 minutes.

Kenting here I come!!

Praying for good weather...
