where is he?
i have been missing in action again. sorry about that, but i have been busy with a lot of stuff. lotsa things have happened since i last posted, including the attacks on the world trade center and the pentagon. that was a tragedy, but it amazes me how something like that can unite the nation like its never been united before. its also amazing how that son of a bush we call president can have a 90% approval rating because of this, and not because of anything that he did before this. i dunno...i think that its good that this country is united, because a nation divided is easier to fall apart in attacks such as these. i also have much respect for those people who are looking for anybody who could have survived this tragedy. i just hope that we can somehow get back to some semblence of normal life sooner or later. well, enough of my 2 cents on this topic, there has been plenty of coverage on this event over the past couple of weeks.
another major thing that's been happening in my life has been the return of school. i did not want summer to end, i was enjoying not having to do anything academic. well my schedule isnt that bad....im only taking 3 classes and i have 4 day weekends (fri-mon), meaning that i take tues/thurs classes w/ weds sections...but im gonna try not to let that get to my head, and try to stay on track to do well this quarter...wish me luck!!! well, for now i must go do a bit of studying before i head off to sleep, since i have work tomorrow. before i go...i must say hi to Kathy since she mentioned me in her blog, pretty nice of her too. also wassup to all u bridge peeps out there. nite all...stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

Back to work
eh...i started back to work today...i totally did not wanna be there. it felt so weird being back there after being gone for 6 weeks. i dunno...i guess the reason why it was so weird was that i was back to working to only a handful of people, instead of 149 students and 27 staff members of summer bridge. i dunno, it takes awhile to get back to the normal routine of my old job, which isnt much....but as i said, it's totally different than the kinda work environment that i had been exposed to for the past 6 weeks. especially the communication factor...i mean, in summer bridge, communication was everything...but in my "normal" job, a lot of things go unsaid and things just "go" without much communication, well i guess that's cuz so many people are playing politics with each other in my job that if they actually speak to each other, feelings get hurt, and drama erupts. i was thinking to myself that i miss working for Summer Bridge, and can't wait til next year to do it again. i was also thinking that im glad that im only gonna work for 10 hours a week during the first quarter...i dunno if i can take much more than that so soon after bridge. dont get me wrong...its a pretty good job, and the pay is great...but the job seems kinda stuffy now after the experiences of bridge. each one of the students and staff from bridge hold a special place in my heart, and i do miss the fun times that we had at Argo Hall. yeah yeah...that was cheesy, but true. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

random thought
Fatboy Slim's video "Weapon of Choice" is a pretty cool video. Christopher Walken cracks me up when he does his dance. Michelle Jeung can do a hilarious impersonation of his dance...u gotta see it =) yeah that was random...but i just finished watching his video...gotta love late night videos on mtv

it's over...it's over now
sorry about my last post...i was just having a bad day, and i havent had time to update it cuz of bridge and all. basically, i found out some stuff that got me feeling not so great. also my friend who had wanted me to mc her debut asked me not to do it, because she didnt want me to be a rose and mc at the same time, so i had to step aside. so yeah...i wasnt feeling that great. also adding to that was the thought that summer bridge was ending, and i didnt want it to end. speaking of which...summer bridge ended yesterday and im feeling a bit of bridge withdrawal. i cant completly explain it other than that i miss the students and talking to them. i also miss hanging out with the staff either in my suite, or in the pit during pit duty. i built relationships with these people that i dont think i could have done anywhere else. i am very thankful for the opportunity to have worked for this program...and i do plan on coming back for sb '02, but im not sure if i'll come back as an ATC or RC...we shall see. 1 thing i definitely wont miss will be the food. plaza cafe definitely has the worst food anywhere. i ate that food, and my stomach was really mad at me, and i paid for it. i think it's still mad at me...i need to apologize to it for torturing it for a month.
it was weird being back at home too. when i woke up this afternoon (haha notice i say afternoon)...i thought to myself that i was gonna be late for a meeting. i seriously was staring at my clock for 5 minutes before i realized where i was at. i dunno...it just hasnt completely hit me that this program is over. but hey...who knows, maybe when i wake up tomorrow...i'll remember where im at, and not think that im gonna be late to some meeting. well...i shall be enjoying the next week off before i go back to my other job...but as for now, i think imma go relax a bit and watch some tv before going to sleep. until next time...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages. =)
