| the past few weeks have been interesting since i got back from korea. when i was there, i was in this hardcore "i must move to korea in the next couple years" but when i arrived at lax, i realized this is home, man. i was elated to see my precious babies and drive on the fwy at night and listen to the most fitting jack johnson... i've come to actually enjoy relaxing! right now i'm chatting with my hubby in spain, sipping wine, playing expert-level sudoku, accompanied by jack. yes, even when relaxing, i must multi-task... i mean, a couple months ago, i would've hated doing this! i'd be like holy crap, i need to go running or something because this is not productive, but look at me now! this can't be good for my mental health over the summer when i'll be pushed to work 110hrs/wk. joy. another epiphany: i love people. i love my family and friends. i appreciate all relationships even though at the time i think it was a waste of my time, i always make sure i come out with a lesson or two. i know broken friendships, relationships all heal over time. i'm proud of how i've dealt with certain situations and can't be happier than i am today. it was also meaningful to help someone who has been pretty much my right hand over the past yr, so connecting him with something he truly deserves was rewarding to say the least... and i got a dinner at mastro's out of it. i love steak, port... but i have to say the lobster mashed potato was key. shall hit the sack before wine buzz goes away. zzzzzzzzzzzz :) ps i didn't quite grasp this before but attitude matters so much. | | |
| 연분은 존재하나? 만나면 꼭 이루어 질까? 연분을 만나고도 놓치는 사람이 과연 있을까? 서로 만나고도별볼일 아닌일로 어긋나면 얼마나 아쉬운 일인가? 왜 서로를 이렇게 힘들게 하고있는걸까? 이 상황을견뎌내면 과연 다시 이루어 질수 있을까? 궁금하고 안타깝지만 난 이자리에서 시간이 해결해주길 바래야 하는게 그저 기다려야 하는게 너무 벅차다. 난 이제 누군갈 어리석고 열심히 무모하게 좋아하긴 힘들것같다. 그래도 Asia에서 일하고 싶은 욕심은 아직 그대로 아니 더 강졌다. 앞으로 몇년간 내릴 결정이 내 인생을 좌지우지 할 생각하니 맘이 들뜨고 설레이면서도 한편 두렵다. 단지 한가지 확신할수 있는것은 점쟁이들의 말.. 다믿거나 말거나야 ㅋㅋ 예상 밖으로 벌써 모국이 그립다. | | |
| Scary news: I'm taking Equity Investments, Fixed Income, and Derivatives and have missed a total of only 3 classes for all those classes combined- and they were all excused for interviews. I've also never fallen asleep despite what little sleep I've been getting. I am freaking sleep-adverse these days. On the other hand, biz comm and biz writing = bs. Waste of time, waste of tuition money. They're not even worth being properly capped. I've been obsessed with the idea of getting a Blackberry. It doesn't have to be a RIM; I just want a pda soooooooo bad. It even haunts me at night; I bought one in my dream a couple days ago. I want one that's window based, can open Excel (my other obsession) and pdf's. Can Blackjacks do that? I am having second, third thoughts about banking. If I'm gonna be a responsible mommy to my babies, I'd be much better off as a trader than an ibanking analyst pushing 100 hrs/wk. Besides, I wanna cook my own food; it'd be a waste of my skills. Also, I am free to travel anywhere in the world now so I am paying a visit to the motherland from 3/8-3/18. Yay for food and nay for grandpa's chauffeur. I wanna run around like a wild child, up and down the subway... none of that private car shit, please. His plan is to keep me on his watch the entire time, bug me about why I'm not introducing my boyfriend to the family, blah blah blah and I'm not thrilled about it at all. My older cousin doesn't have a boyfriend right now, so when my grandpa told her to bring this nonexistent bf and she explained why she couldn't, he gave her a "do you know how old you are, why don't you have a bf, you need to get married soon" speech. Hell yes. I mean, NO. He's already started asking about my flight schedule like 3 times a day. He said, "Since my eyesight's very bad from aging I won't be able to look for you at the airport, but I'll take off my hat (he's bald) so you can find me easily." So no romantic welcome from boyfriend with flowers... lunch is out of question for a banker bf, and thanks to grandpa, probably no romantic dinner either on weekends. I think grandma's on my side though, so hopefully she can sneak me out a couple times. Hopefully. Oh man, I don't wanna do my memo. Save me. | | |
| I'm going to Nebraska next weekend... SF/NY in Feb and the Motherland over Spring Break- maybe mardi gras celebration sometwhere... I am no longer planning to study abroad in Fall 07. Once beloved USC Football season is over, I will graduate in December and I really don't care for walking the ceremony although the grandparents won't be happy about this. Too bad, I'd rather go travel and ride on kangaroos or climb machu pichu or something. My schedule is the following: MW 2-4 Derivatives
MW 4-6 Investments
TH 10-12 B Comm (how to bullshit to clients, investors, employers)
TH 12:30-2 Adv. B Writing (how to compose better bs and make it look kinda legit) So I guess my weekend starts on Thursdays at 2 and ends on Mondays at 2. I won't complain. If anyone knows how long the new ipod (black, 8 gig) battery lasts, text me please. Happy 2007 and Fight On, Trojans! (Steve Sample should get with the president of Florida and schedule a real championship match- that would be so sweet) | | |
| At USC, we're not snobs. We're just better than you. Thanks. And here are the words of a wise fellow Trojan: What really boggles my mind most about Saturday, is how UCLA can even fathom calling themselves a better school with the classless circus act they put on after the game. Yes they won the game, and yes they deserved it. So why were they so angry? You just won your first game in how many years against us…isn’t that what you wanted?
I watched a grown man tell a 20 year old SC student “Fuck you. SC sucks” Excuse me? How can you talk like that to a 20 year old boy and seriously call yourself a man?
I had a grown man yell boo in my face, and I was even approached by another man who got in my face yelling about who won the game. What kind of man gets in a woman’s face over a sport? The correct answer is a real man DOESN’T do that. Period.
I also really enjoyed when a group of about 50 students got in a circle outside of the bathroom and started chanting “Fuck SC”. Yes, very classy indeed.
It’s really rather pitiful that UCLA students can’t seem to come up with any offensive comment other than “Fuck”. If you look at nearly every anti-SC group formed in the last 3 days, I can almost guarantee you that the word “fuck” is somewhere in the title. Actually the lack of creativity is a tangent I don’t even want to get into…but I will state that I think it ironic that UCLA students form a Facebook group called “Bruins drink apple juice BECAUSE OJ WILL KILL YOU” but then copy and paste the entire group description from someone’s Myspace (clearly because they cannot manage to think of anything creative on their own) and then can’t even to fix the spelling errors? Please.
Maybe if you weren’t so intent on trying to prove that we are somehow inferior to you, you could actually spare yourself from looking like a fool.
So why am I proud to be a Trojan? Because at USC, we have class. We win nearly every game we play and I don’t see our male fans getting in women’s faces or punching opposing fans in the back of the head (which did actually happen as well). So until you can learn to have some class, show even an inkling of creativity, and maybe even demonstrate a working knowledge of the English language other than profane phrases, don’t even bother trying to convince me that I somehow am worse off than you.
I would also like to add that this is not the first time that Bruin fans have treated the visiting team like this. Nor is it only SC fans that they act like this toward. They demonstrated the same disgusting behavior to Arizona fans that came to the Rose Bowl this year. So apparently they are sore losers and sore winners? Maybe they are trying to compensate for some insecurities that come from sources other than athletics…wouldn’t you say?
So while you UCLA fans sit at home and scratch your heads in disbelief that somebody actually made a semi-offensive argument without resorting to a single word of profanity, you may want to also consider that there might actually be something other than tuition prices and the 10 freeway that set our schools apart. It’s called integrity.
Yes, there was a time when UCLA had higher admissions statistics and was more academically praised than USC: but times have changed. We are now on a level playing field, and you are still trying to use the insults your grandparents did back when they were in college. Wake up naïve little Bruin, you may actually have to think for yourself now, and maybe try to come up with a current or, god forbid, even valid insult for your cross-town rivals. Furthermore…this may come as a shock to you….but you immature little antics and disgraceful behavior will not take you anywhere in life.
So complain now that we are brats, and we are conceited, and we are inferior, and your school is so much better…and frankly I expect that you will continue complaining until long after you have graduated and are unemployed and I am working to pay your monthly welfare check.
So go ahead…say whatever you want…but I turned down UCLA to go to USC and right now, I couldn’t be more proud of my decision.
And by the way 4 points is not a landslide. It’s considered a close game, but I guess you wouldn’t know that since you only attend one game a year. OURS. _________________ On a closing note, who rocked that Rose Bowl against Michigan on New Year's and still maintained what UCLA can't ever seem to represent- class? I love you, Trojans. | | |
