Someone asked me my major, and I responded...
The concept of learning to do one specific thing for the rest of my life scares me. I don’t want to learn to do only one thing, I want to learn to do multiple things. I want to learn how to boil spaghetti without having it stick to the bottom of the pan. I want to learn how to sew a long sleeved dress. I want to learn how to rock-climb. I want to learn how I can persuade others to recycle more often. I want to learn how to edit film. I want to learn how to sing and dance and act. I want to learn how to speak French. I want to learn how to walk in 7 inch heels. I want to learn how to write a good story. I want to learn how to draw a portrait of someone I love. I want to learn how to bake a chocolate croissant. I want to learn how to kick-box. I want to learn how to eat cereal and milk without spilling it on myself. I want to learn how to knit a scarf. I want to learn how to be healthy. I want to learn how to unearth an ancient artifact. I want to learn how I can do everything I want; But the trouble is, there’s no major for that.
Busy Already?
My mother told me my naturalization interview was tomorrow at 7 in the morning, so I got all prepared and studied for the test today… turns out it’s not till Thursday, the 5th. =__-
LOL. My mother always gets my important dates wrong. Why? WHYYY?! I picked an outfit and everything, too. WOMPS. I really wanted to get this thing over with so I could move on to e-mailing people for a job. Sigh.
Maybe I should start giving out e-mails already. And I have to buy my books soon. ;__;
In other news, phone interviews make me nervous. I hate talking to people on the phone.
Oh, and I have stuff to do for SPACE soon. Sheesh. I’m not even in school yet and I already have so many things to think about. O__O.
Thanks a lot, 2012.
25 Things to do before turning 25
I will be turning 25 in less than 3 months (can you believe it, it’s like a quarter of a century old) and yes I’m pretty excited about it :P. I’ve decided to jot down real-life & achievable to-do list in order for me to have something to look forward to. I believe that now is the time to take advantage of my youth, energy, and to live with gusto ;)
Based on this one blogger, there are three general categories that you need to cover before you turn 25:
I. You should be able to take care of yourself & those around you.
II. You should have some fun.
III. You should prepare for the next 25 years.
Check out my list of 25 things to do before turning 25 in random order:
1. Catch the sunrise at East Coast.
2. Eat 3 things I’ve never tried before.
3. Learn to cook some spanish dishes.
4. Cook for a friend.
