Blast From the Past: Inspiration

Most of these days, I sit around dreaming about the future: what new style I will add to my wardrobe this summer, where Junki and I will go hang out and relax in July, what I am doing this summer, what books I want to read (and need to finish--grrr!), what classes I'll take next fall, which medical school I see myself at in three (what?!!) years, and what country I want to travel to when I have finally made it into the health profession. I don't remember ever thinking about so much at once. It's true. I have always been an idealist... and most of the times one not restricted by reality (hence the forever unfinished--aka unstarted reading list, the goals concerning the UGA Wind Ensemble, etc., the occaisional lists that pop up on blog updates, etc., etc.,). So, Sumi put it to me this way: why not make realistic goals?

Here is my attempt. This summer, I will study at Oxford, learn to cook out of a cook book and practice my Asian cooking, take Organic Chemistry, volunteer at least once a week, read, and spend time with friends. That is not too much to ask is it? After all, two summers ago, I juggled 3 camps, 1 job, a blog, and CP Government online.

This never finishing anything habit? I'm breaking it.

P.S. Super sorry for all of the I's. =(

Something to Talk About...

Hello there. =)

It is the weekend pre-SBX (Spring Break 2010 for all you laggards who have no idea what the X means), and I am sitting in front of the computer wasting time. Haha, as usual. My mom and I just watched Julie&Julia, which was really cute by the way, but not the most amazing movie I have ever seen. Julie had this adventurous blog where she wrote constantly about her cooking project and how her life was going in between recipes. That is so cute and so inspiring! I think, I would like to learn some new recipes this summer, not only because I plan on not being on meal plan next semester but also just to learn. It would be fun and exciting!

So, again, lots of plans, little execution (so far, still 4 books to go). I guess Julie and I have more in common than I thought.
