amatyultareAh, Monday. Work is annoying yet leavened with black humor (like the guy who, I kid you not, LITERALLY asked for a million dollars in compensation for lost time and data. Well, five hundred thousand to a million dollars. A day. You can imagine.)
My current project is making Chinese flashcards (from whole notecards, for those of you who remember the whole 'tiny pieces of paper as flashcards' phase I went through). I've lost so much vocabulary *sweatdrop* At least it's coming back to me.
My other 'project' is worrying about my career ^.^ Suddenly my 'future' isn't in the nebulous future--it's four semesters away! (Or possibly even three, but let's not get into that right now). Gah! Basically, I have four choices. One, I could apply for the Foreign Service right out of Colgate. I'd actually prefer not to do this--I'd like to get more real-world experience and strengthen my language skills before I apply. Two, I join the Peace Corps. This is the choice that appeals to me the most, but I'm afraid I don't have a lot of usable skills. Third option is grad school. I do want to go to grad school, but LOANS, argh. Fourth possibility is for me to do...something else relating to China. Okay, that's pretty broad, but I guess it boils down to me either doing something in China for a Chinese company or doing something in China for a multinational company. I really don't know enough about those types of jobs to comment about them.... (But I still want to join the Foreign Service eventually! I have visited the State Department's FSO website sooo many times)
Random, but--hey, K, since you've read MeruPuri, you could write a few comments about it for the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
colgateanime review....
PCM in three days!
I found an almost-lolita-esque skirt yesterday. It's brown, which is not really a lolita color, but it's very cute. But when, oh when, will Candy Violet release their skirt line? *sigh*
I've completely run out of things to talk about. I also need to finish the handout for K's and my panel *squeals* Later, all!
