| So it seems that everyone around me is getting engaged or is getting married. I guess it feels kind of weird to finally be at that stage in life where we find that one true love and really think about settling down with that person for the rest of our lives. At times I think that I am too young to get married. After all, I am only 23, and I still have my whole life in front of me. But at the same time, I want to settle down, start a family, and experience what life brings forth every day. I want a family, but not right now. I think that I am still too young and I want to finish school (Master's program), find a well paying job, buy a car, buy a house, travel, and then start a family. But when I think of all that I want to do, by the time I have my first kid I will be in my 30s! I dont want to be an old mom! Oh the troubles of being a woman.
I think Im going through a "young, life crisis." I cant get past the "I just finished 4 year college block." It just seems like during high school, everyone took their SATs, filled out college applications, wrote admission essays, and waited to hear from colleges. Now, I havent even taken the GRE, or wrote an application essay, or asked for letters of rec! All I have done is filled out the application. I'm so behind! Aye. I don't want to let go of what I have in Davis. I dont want to move and find a new job again. I dont want to loose the friends I have made, but I know that we are all going to go our separate ways in August. What scares me the most is that I don't know for sure what I will be doing next year. I know I will be waiting for replies from grad schools, but what else? I cant just sit around and waste my time. I want to get a well paying job in my field of study, but there is really nothing I can apply for because I do not have a certificate or a liscence or the right major or the kind of experience they are looking for. It is tough being a science major if all you get is a B.S. Most jobs want more that a bachelor's degree. You basically have to get a master's of some sort. If I wanted to be a nuse, I should of transfered out of UC Davis and gone to a school where I could get a BS in Nursing and then take my RN liscence test. Instead, it will take me 3 more years to get a RN liscence and a Masters in Family Nurse Practioner. I might as well become a doctor!?!
On a lighter note, I am excited to go to Hong Kong and help kids with their English. My second career choice was to teach young children in elementary school. I also might get a chance to poke around at my dad's friend's hospital in Kowloon. He is a trauma and orthopedic surgeon. WOW. hah now that is a job. I would love to do something like that. That would be so amazing to watch a surgery. I already had some experience in a children's hospital with chronically ill children and children with short term illness and injuries. It is really sad to see such a young child in so much pain and suffering. Seeing them in pain breaks my heart and makes me want to reach out to them and take away their pain. So hopefully going to HK and perhaps spending some time in the hospital will give me a new insight to becoming a nurse! | | |
| I am finally FINALLY! done with school. Next up is graduate school of nursing to get a master's degree in Family Nurse Practitioner. That will happen after I begin applying...For now, I am still working up in Davis and then going off to Hong Kong for a month to teach some middle and high school kids English. My sister and I teach from 8-1pm and then I get the rest of the afternoon to explore the city with my sister. When the program ends, we head to Vancouver, Canada for a couple of days to visit relatives that we have not seen in a couple of years. A couple of days later, I will head to Puerto Vallarta for a week to relax before going back to Davis to move out of my apartment. I already know that I will miss Davis and all of the people I have met over my four years at school. It will be a sad, sad day. | | |

| im working out, but it is not working out. it sucks i just gained muscle and nothing else. not a thing has changed and it has been like what? 4 weeks??? i think my arms are buffer. i see my tricepts and my calfs. maybe it will take like 2 months. what a long time. ugh. goal? lose a lot. go to gym more than 4-5 times a week. become health freak. loose the candy working 30-almost 40 hours a week and then going straight to school and then going straight to the gym has been exhausting. luckily i am getting A's in my one class. i only have time to eat twice a day with maybe a snack at work. maybe i should work harder. or eat even less. next goal is to take the GRE's. apply to grad schools. that is it for now. oh yea. i bought a green dress for 10 dollars at forever21 for my halloween costume. i think i am going to be a green fairy. i have jumbo butterfly wings. i made sugar cookies for jeff and his roommates. i bought black k swiss for my feet for my job. my feet are tired from standing so much at work. my wrists are hurting too.. they are getting a little numb.. or sleepy. whatever. maybe it is carpel tunnel syndrome. gosh i feel old already. i went to the pumpkin patch today with jeff. we ran/ walked fast through the corn maze at 6pm. it was getting dark. it was kind of cold but not bad. we picked three large pumpkins from the pumpkin patch to carve before halloween! not bad for 15 bucks. i had jack in the box for dinner. sourdough jack and small fries. minus points for me. diet coke. neutral points but still bad. i dont like fast food anyways. and dont eat it often now. | | |
