Evelyn: Look, I... I may not be an explorer, or an adventurer, or a treasure-seeker, or a gunfighter, Mr. O'Connell, but I am proud of what I am.
Rick: And what is that?
Evelyn: I... am a librarian.

Summer 2010

There is some exciting news. My family is going to Mexico for my grandparents anniversary. At first Alex and I weren't going, but now we are. Woot!

Also, Alex and I are going to Japan and China in August. That's the plan anyway.

I'm really sick of school/papers/reading boring shit. So I'm going to make a list of all the stuff I want to do this summer.

Summer 2010

Read:
The Uglies
Peeps
Sword of Truth Series
The Mockingjay
The Tales of the Beedle and the Bard
Deathly Hallows (getting pumped)
The Maze Runner
First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers
Seeing Red?
Swan Song?
The Stand?

Play(need to buy a mouse):
Final Fantasy XIII
Fallout 3
Mass Effect 2
Uncharted2(again to get moar trophies)

If anyone has any suggestions let me know! I like to keep it YA, post-apocalyptic, and dystopian. But you know, whatever is good.

omg food

i cannot stop eating. omg mrs. fields your cookies are so so good.

Real life sucks....

Almost everyday I freak out about school/work/life. I'm wondering what if after all this, I have the MA after my name and on my resume and I still can't find a job. I'll be 80,000 in debt and unemployed. I'd like to think that it is very unlikely, but I still can't help thinking about it.

So yeah I found this:
KNOW WHAT EMPLOYERS WANT
So what are employers in international education looking for anyway? A standard list may include:
• Master’s degree in a related field
• Cultural sensitivity and awareness
• Previous experience living/working/studying abroad
• Strong organizational skills and administrative skills
• Excellent oral/written communication skills
• Second language capability
• Ability to work with persons from culturally diverse backgrounds
• Working knowledge of federal immigration regulations
• Ability to travel

So I'm working towards getting all these qualifications. So its all good right? I really wanted to volunteer/intern abroad this summer, but the programs are so expensive. And since I have to live near DC, I pay my soul monthly in rent. If I didn't have to pay that much I would probably have some loan money left over to go. Sigh::

I am a dumbass. If I didn't suck at life, I would have signed up to volunteer at the World Expo in Shanghai. I'd be moving to China for the summer.

I really should be focusing on the now. Which is not failing this semester and graduating on time.
