So what have I been doing after my Internship? Well...
- I got into the actuarial program, and I am going to start working on January.
- I am also studying my ass off for my MLC exam.
- Learning Japanese is not as hard as I thought it would be.
- Math modeling seminar is not as easy as I thought it would be...
- Cryptography is a fun class, except my English decrypting ability is not that great... (give me Chinese!)
- We are going to read Becoming Jane Austen, I Am Legend, and The Road for reading group, and we are going to watch those movies at the Lyric during Sunday midnights... Horay for free entrance and free popcorn!
- I am thinking about getting a DSLR... HD TV, PS3, GPS, IPOD, etc... after I get a car... >_<''
- Plus a trip to somewhere at some point...
Panda sent me this mv.
P.s.: I wanna eat mooncake for mid-autumn festival! Meh... >Q<
Eating a bowl of spicy chili with an empty stomach for four days straight is not a smart idea. Never again! Unless... there will be another cute t-shirt as a reward. But next time I want a size small dammit! (Yea... the guy was like: "do you want a median, large, or extra large?" Do I look like a XL to you?? T_T)
On the way to D2 (that's where chili challenge was held), I was thinking about how much stuff I need to do once again. Literally, I was either working, studying, doing homework, or sleeping this week. It's like nap is the only thing that can make my day brighter. Now since panda's gone to DC for his field trip, I realized that even thought we were together all the time, I haven't really "looked at him and only him for a while". I want to cuddle with him like what we always do, but without thinking or worrying about anything else. Right now I feel like I am so selfish because I only think about my own stuff. He cares about me so much that it's just not fair to him. When can I do more for him? Sigh. Maybe... after the actuarial exam on Nov. 7th? That's such an excuse and b.s.! Gah I hate my selfishness!!
Some important things that I need to do for next week:
Sorry if I look like a zombie or being grumpy. That just means I need more sleep... Yez... Sleep is goooooood!

Ps: Give me an actuarial summer internship! ...pretty please?
Yayy~ Finally! After waiting for more than a week, I get my laptop back! But. It's not fixed, and I doubt they would give it back if I don't ask them personally. Oh well, I miss my laptop! XD I hope when they get the right parts from IBM, it won't take that long to fix my touch pad...
Classes are tiring, but gosh I miss college life so much! ok, it's nap time for sisi! ^o^
Christie titi this morning: "BOOOO. we're in harper. this bites."
Yup, we finally got our housing assignment this morning, and we ended up getting Harper! That sucks for a lazy bum like me because everything seems so far away. Except... west end and math empo? (>_<) At least Laura and Sara got Harper too. They are going to be our suite mates, but we still don't know who else are going to live with us, since there are three rooms in this suite. Can't believe it's Harper. Well, I guess it's more "famous" than Payne thanks to Cho Seung-Hui. As christie titi said, think positive. The bus stop is right next to Harper. I think I am going to either take Hokie Express to class, or simply skip classes for the day. It's closer to deets than Johnson, so that when panda works, i will be right next to him. It has ac and walk in closet. Plus according to christie titi, "there is a parking lot for the car so we can go out to apartments and party every week" :p. Ooo, and panda said that he will always walk me back! yayy~ \(^_^)/
As I said few posts before, I was getting a game called Gurumin from Yesasia.com. It said that it's going to be shipped in 7 business days. Then they added another 7 days. Yesterday I got an email saying that I won't be able to get it until August 23rd! What the...?! That means I have to wait 4+ months to get this game. So I told them that I wanna canceled the order. Now the product page says that "this product is temporarily out of stock". Why didn't they just honestly tell me at the beginning? Today I got an email saying that "an extensive search we have found that the item is not available at this time". They lied to me before saying "according to the latest update from the supplier, the item is expected to be available for shipment in the following 5 to 7 business days." They didn't even say a "sorry" to me. They just said that the charge will be $0 now. What kind of service is this??! &$%*@$ Yet I still want to play this game, so I reordered it from play-asia.com. Hopefully I will get it soon! *Crossing finger*
Now panda chan is downloading another anime for me to watch because I can't use BT at home. (Don't ask me why, I just can't ><'') It's called "Makai Senki Disgaea". I knew this artist since I was at middle school. This anime is based on a game called Disgaea. I heard it's a good game. Wish someone has it so that I can play it... ahahahahaha. Can't wait to watch this cute anime. I am pretty sure it won't be a weird one! ^_^
This melody is one reason why I can't stop watching Paranoia Agent. Love it. "a suiting ending (song) to an effing wierd series"
Let's talk about something serious. There's one thing I can't decide right now. I have no idea if I should go to graduate school, majoring in Actuarial Science; or if I should go work right after graduation. I have to decide this soon, so that I can start to study for either GRE or Exam FM. They say that being an actuary is about "earn while you learn". You don't have to go to graduate school to find a good job, since experience is more important than diploma for this career. However, my mom said that bachelor degree is not enough for finding a good job, so it's much safer to get a master degree. But I don't know which one is the truth about this career. From what I know so far, your salary depends on how many exams you have passed, not what kind of degree you have. Is that true in reality? I really don't know...
PS: Here's another peek-a-pooh picture, along with my stoopid face because of someone's request... (you know who) >_<''
Let's talk about some happy things. Last night oo-chan (:p) sent me a "sad panda" picture from deviantART. I had this urge to type in "panda" in deviantART's search bar, and it gave me hundreds pages of pandas as result. I spent hours to save the ones that I like (instead of reading... bad sisi >_<). Through this search, I fell in love with clay crafts! I especially heart blackmago and QueenOfDorks's work. All these cute stuff makes me wanna make some myself! Look at this moogle (I call it piggy tho ^-^), isn't it super adorable? and I wonder how these two moogles get into the tiny bottle (+_+). Maybe I will figure out how to do this during the summer. I am going to make some earrings and such by clay. This is going to be lots of fun! One more thing to do besides reading and internet!
Speaking about cute stuff, I brought a game called Gurumin from Yesasia.com. I wanted it long time ago (like during the summer before college). I am a fan of Falcom's RPGs. Their images and musics are always good! I wonder if they will ever make console games other than PC version. That will be awesome! I saw the English PSP version. That makes me wanna find the PC version of it. Too bad PC version is only available in Japanese and Chinese. So if you wanna play it... get a PSP maybe? (>_<) I haven't received my package yet, and I have no idea when I will get it. I am thinking about making clay sculptures of this game's characters. That will be interesting! :) By the way, I am using this as my wallpaper right now. <3
There's so much to write about that I am simply too lazy to write down all the details here... I had my birthday; Panda was back from Japan; my family and I moved to the "new old house"; there was no a.c. in the beginning, but we fixed that; I am getting really tired that I've skipped three kendo practice in a roll (ok, maybe that's an excuse... whatever :p); I had a "little bit" shopping to get ready for school; I play a free online game named Trickster; today is my last day of work; and most importantly, I am damn ready to go back to Tech! XD
