The Large Envelope

this past month has been a long and frustrating waiting game for me. i've been patiently checking the mail every morning in hopes of receiving news from schools. after the interview at rutgers, the only letters i've been getting are the kind that come in small envelopes. the first one was bearable; however, after a while, each rejection was a blow to my confidence. i knew getting into grad school was going to be competitive, but i wasn't prepared for the continual disappointment.

so you can imagine my state of ecstasy when i opened the mailbox this afternoon and stared at the large envelope laying inside. in that moment, the only disappointment i felt was that it was 2:30 in the morning in malaysia, and my parents couldn't share my joy.



God truly makes all things beautiful in his time. his time. not mine. why is it such a hard lesson for me to learn? new york city, here i come!

The Holidays

The holidays are over already?! It's almost time for school. Spring semester begins on the 20th. I am actually pretty excited for it, because I'll be taking a lot more social courses. Last semester was mostly cognitive and neuro/bio psychology, which are both interesting but not my cup of tea. My mom and brother flew into JFK on Christmas Day, spending the holidays with me in Queens with my aunt and uncle. Most of the days were low key, just chillin at home, watching some TV, renting movies, eating good home cooked food... It's not like my mom and brother were visiting New York city for the first time anyway. We just wanted to be together, because we see each other probably once every year for a few days at a time. Ihaven't seen my dad since Labor Day 2007. I took my loved ones around Washington Square Park, where my campus is, Union Dquare for some shopping, Times Square (there are lots of squares), and different restaurants in downtown and midtown. My brother and I we...

Saying Goodbye

i'm sitting in the middle of my bed. it's really comfortable, definitely a lot bigger than my twin mattress. my arms and legs are tired from unpacking, but before i sleep, i wanted to write a little something. around 8pm this evening, we finally pulled into the drive way and opened the door to an extremely excited cody. the ride from norcal was pretty smooth, save the first day when it was raining really hard. yesterday, we spent the night in diamond bar, because 15 hours of straight driving would be too tough on my brother, especially when my mom still has jetlag, and neither of them want me behind the wheel. that reminds me, i going to need to start driving again. yikes. anyway, most of my belongings are put away now, but a lot of my clothes and books are still scattered around the floor, because i don't have any bookshelves or even a dresser at the moment. right now, tucson isn't too different from the bay area in terms of weather. according to my desktop widget, it...
