I’m so happy today!!!! I figured out how to use Microsoft Office OneNote. It’s actually very useful when I need to store notes taken from lecture. Within one programme I can file all my lecture notes and etc. in orderly way. Plus side of it is I can doodle on page or add pictures. Space isn’t confined like Microsoft Office Word. Yayyyyyy!!!
Sent an email to Paul yesterday when I was totally bored and was waiting for Naruto Ep 17 to load. I didn’t think he’d reply but he did. “Miss me? I miss your company…” he wrote. Do I miss you? Yes, I miss your company too. Though, I am starting to get used to me having nothing much to do and staying home most of the time. So, I don’t miss you that much since I managed to put a lot of other things on my mind e.g. errands to run for mom, stuff to do for professors, preparation before lectures start, necessities needed for new academic year, and whether I should have lunch this Sunday afternoon.
I am quite pleased with what happened this week. Of course, there were times that weren’t so pleasant but I choose to think of the highlights…. recap:
(1) Lunch with Betty on 20 Aug went really well and I was offered an opportunity to be her P.A. and to speak with her on 24 Aug’s Departmental Orientation for newcomers.
(2) Met Paul on 22 Aug before he left. Although we didn’t spend whole day out, I had a nice time. That night I had dinner with relatives from Mom’s side. Even though I didn’t like the food served at that Chinese restaurant, I was happy to see almost everyone there. My cousins Thomas, Emily and Irene rarely show up to family stuff. I’m too much of a goody-goody to miss it, besides my mom would like me to show up for the dinner before she leaves HK to Canada again.
(3) The orientation went really well, and I didn’t stutter when I speak in front of hundreds of people. Because of my performance, a few professors came up and recognized my existence. They said I did a good job and it seemed like I prepared it for a long time. In fact, me and Betty had two brief rehearsals and spent one lunchtime refining the speech. Preparation not longer than 4 hours… I’m glad I managed it, of course, with the help of Betty. =) Some professors express their willingness to teach me in upcoming semester and my third year in my degree. Tee-hee
(4) Completed Evian’s second-last task for summer project. Even though I had to drink 4 cups of tea and 2 cups of coffee to push myself to finish it, which I did by 5am, I was glad I achieved something in such a short limit of time. And Evian praised me the next day that I did a great job with little or no mistakes during combination of two datas and entry of information. =D
Hehehe seems like I managed most of my stuff. I hope this year is going to end well, then I can write a blog before 2008 including all achievements I made this year! Mmmm… I may become a workaholic in future. But what’s wrong with diverting all your energies and effort into work and family when you’ve no other commitments?
My parents would like to buy an appartment for me to live in future when I get married. I said, buying an apartment for me is unnecessary and your ulterior motive is to invest on the property markets… but honestly, I see myself living alone with a dog or some pet. Mom said, “Don’t be silly, dear. You’re too pretty and relatively smart to be single the rest of your life. Don’t worry about it.” I’m far from worried actually, I just don’t really care because it’s not even in my top 5 list of priorities. I think I’m happier this way because I don’t need to fuss and wonder: what’s he thinking? does he like me? is he going to cheat? did i do sth wrong? am i going to do sth wrong? am i boring? what should i say? how should i dress? what does he see in me? what does he want me to do? how long is this going to last??
blah…. not insecure, just think randomly too much and it’s not like i need to know the answer but i just don’t want extra thoughts to stress me out. If I have a bf, I would like him to be reliable. That’s it.
