Saturday, April 12, 2008

maybe one day... (summer perhaps?) :
-exploration of the newly opened newseum / go around d.c. [YES! recently did this.]
-another acapella concert [yeppp!]
-more intellectual debate / continuation of forum topics / discussion on racism, the media, empowerment, education, awareness, propaganda, etc etc... [i pipe up here and there during conversations, when i feel the time is right to try to voice my opinion/have a convincing argument.]
-hours dedicated to piano/guitar [umm..sadly.. no.. very sadly.. no.]

much more 'immediate' things... but...

longer-term goals:
internship/possible fellowship (if i do get this fellowship, that would make for an interesting year.) [umm.. i'm getting calls back now. we'll see where it/they -the internship possibilities- take me.]
(applying like crazy now; hoping like crazy now.)
getting scholarships
(applying like crazy now; hoping like crazy now.) [i applied for some this year too.]

longer, longer term goals:
study abroad for a semester at temple u (tokyo, japan that is.) - senior year fall 09 ??? [i applied... the program got canceled... oh bitter me. it was my dream since then too, and i actually thought it was going to happen! i could've joined another program like visual anthropology, but it seemed like my parents were ehh about the switch-over/pressure from the rush that temple was making me do...]
finish on time . [i sure hope so. at least my requirements are done after this semester.]
get a job . [umm.. i got one last summer that paid very well.. well enough that the money lasted me all of last semester.]
get money to pay off loans . [still want this!]
get a sexy(-ier) car xD . [possibility: BMW 1 series. xD]

--
yeah, the goals have pretty much remained the same.

random: I noticed that a number of things I like watching start with the letter H (but of course, my favorites are certainly not limited to this letter..)... Heroes, High School Musical, House MD, Hana Yori Dango... mmm.

every day is a constant battle for me.
every day i think about you and miss you, erikku-kun.
i just have to think that i'll get through it.
i have to.

--
i just looked through a lot of my xanga.. circa 2003-2009.
oh how i've evolved in so many ways.. but still have remained the same.

ugh, side note! watching hana yori dango makes me have a glimmer of hope in romance/romantic notions.
