Always do what you are afraid to do.
Instead of documenting the food that I eat everyday, I really should start writing about my dreams that seem more like nightmares.

Tis the season for materialism
So I don’t really celebrate Christmas, but the holiday season gives me a reason to buy new things because of the cheaper prices. My list of things that I want/but will not necessarily get/but will look into purchasing myself (will be periodically updated):
- Sewing machine
- Leather boots
- Ipod/mp3 player
- Haircut/perm(?)
- mint plant
Makes me feel a bit excessive making this list, but rest assured that this is only for self entertainment purposes only.
In reality I will be in LA:
- Buying supplies to make the EWI centerpiece
- Making the EWI program
- Personal statements
- Lab work
- Helping brother find internship

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

winter quarter internship choices
Haha, I like that—a little bit of cost benefit analysis at the end with the bur ride by thing.if i work at the koreatown youth and community center, i will get to tutor kids, maybe accompany the admins to meetings with city govt about the GRYD program, and learn a lot about program analysis/at-risk youth and family issues. their office takes about an hour to get to by bus.
L.A. Works said they’d like me to work with them on homelessness and poverty - which i would love learn more about. with them I’d be in charge of my own projects, organizing volunteers and other resources for the nonprofits that need them. i’d get to research homeless and low-income options available (or, more likely, not available) in our lovely city, homeless capital of the nation, but their office is two hours away by bus.
dunno, i can’t decide!

The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.

If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run the walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
