Graduate

It's already been a week after graduation. I am still not used to the fact that there is no "next semester." Everybody is start to panic on what to do next. I was lucky enough to get the unexpected internship at Holly Hunt. However, the soon coming interview is already making me so nervous. Then, I have to worry about grad school applications. The same kind of fear from high school is coming back to me... am I going to get IN a school? If not what am I gonna do. Now I not only have to worry about myself, but also Alex. You know he's the very lay back type. It sometimes worries me. But he also seems to handle things fine eventually. I have confidence in him, I just need to losen up a little.

So, graduation went great. I was happy to have my family and my favorite professors there to cheer for me. We also had Patti Smith and Apichatpong as our guest speaker. Pretty bad ass. We also enjoyed the big family time in Chicago when my family was here. So much food. So much Love. So much fun.

Oh and yea, my NYC trip was awesome too! We stayed at the Night Hotel which wasn't bad, but a little too small (they all say "well, it's new york"). Everything is soooo dark though. I went there for the ICFF. It was totally worth it. We also get to try a lot of really good food, and FINALLY went to MORIMOTONYC, which was another reason why I was in New York. The last time I was there was almost 10 years ago, and the only thing I remember is the Statue of Liberty and the giant M&M store. I did not have a very good impression of NYC. But this trip did change my concept about New York a little. It is more fun then I expected.

Hoo La La. Back to the text.

I am so mad at myself being lazy on my blog. What's the point for diary if I only do it once a month. There had been too much funs and moments for the past few weeks. But of course I did not do any updates, which make me feel like those funs just slip away like "that." I am really planning on getting a video camera to make my own home style "Time Indefinite."

So... what were the big deals that happened...

Chinese New Year In Blizzard. BIG DEAL. That was fun. After our first week of school, we had our second week off due to the snow storm. The entire Chicago was almost shut down. I've never experience anything like that in my lyfe. So I thought that was prettey cool. And also thanks to the blizzard we had "Chinese New Year Holidays." So I made 滷肉飯加蛋 for our new years eve dinner with ma boys. I seriously do miss CNY in China, especially the red pockets. DUH.

Then it was another week of school before we went to Puerto Rico with Alex's family! It was too much fun and relaxing week at San Juan. Basically it was sun and beach and pina colada every day. I have not been in a swimming suit for the longest time. So there were some 'size-small-is-still-too-big- kind of awkward swimming suit moments. Pretty embarrassing but funny. We also spent our valentine on the beach, tho my valentine was of coz little Jack (Alex's sister's baby). He was such a smiley baby (except when it comes to car seat night time)!

After so much fun, we got home on Sat., with one of the most horrific flight I have ever taken in my life. Chicago continues to be cold and gloomy. It has been a week since we got back from the sun, school + work life slowly back to normal. The exciting thing is that Bear and I have come up with some plans after graduation, which we both are looking forward to. How are yu all keeping up with your plans?
