I'm not even gonna count how many entries I wrote today.
Once again I realize how different my brother is from me. Whereas I had to be forced to go out and make friends, my brother has to be told to stay home, stay offline. He called me today, because he was bored. See, I would never do that. And then we talked for 15 minutes. I'm gonna stop here b/c he might be reading this.
Speaking of siblings, I watched Punch-Drunk Love tonight. Good movie, in a nice, unassuming way. Not "Look at me, I'm artsy and funky and cool," but "I'm artsy and funky and cool, just by being natural and innocent and straightforward." Mature Adam Sandler with problems is much much better than "hey, I'm a kid, look at me make funny faces!" Adam Sandler. And no, Sabrina, I still don't get the shopping cart in the middle of the hallway thing. Is it like the piano in the middle of the road, or the shopping cart full of pudding?
What do I want to do this summer? ::sigh:: I really don't know. I'm going back to China for a month... I kinda want to do some teaching-oriented stuff, but, y'know, the real thing, not summer camp. But for that, you need references, experience.... I guess I have 4 choices:
a) get a job, and earn money for next school year, small effort to relieve some of the pressure on family.
b) get an internship, and acquire experience for future jobs.
c) take classes at Foothill, etc.
d) study and read books at home, like last summer.
c and d are the easiest, b would be the most helpful, but probably also the hardest.
A preliminary internship search:
VCA Maybe? A bit far. But no formal application. I guess as long as I'm willing to learn...
meh. will keep looking.
Oh the other hand, can spend summer doing things. At home. or taking classes. or getting a job.
Thought of the day: having something to do gives you incentive to do things. But then having too much to do would just be stressful and tiring and make you want to give up everything. The hard part is figuring out what is just right and what is too much.
