I’m quite an embarrassment haha!
I really want a place where my friends and I would frequently meet up, sort of like in Friends where they have a coffee shop and How I Met Your Mother has a bar.
One thing I have come to really understand is the importance of standing up for yourself. By all means, this does not mean to punch someone back if they punched you first. Stand up for your beliefs (but don’t overdo it unless completely necessary) and demand respect when it is called for, even if they are your seniors, your professors, your TA’s, or any one else older than you. Just because you may know and experienced more than I do, does not mean you can disrespect me in such a condescending and rude way. What has humanity come to if we can’t even respect each other (or at least present ourselves to seem respectful)? I may not agree with everyone in their morals, actions, preferences, but I will respect them. I only ask that in return. I don’t believe it is too much to ask for.
My accounting professor is so rude and disrespectful, at least in his emails. What the shit is this? So this is his email to me:
Your score was 90%…with discounts for no assessment re banks to loan provided.
My reply:
Hi Professor Ramsey,
With all due respect, we did include an assessment of why banks should loan to the companies. We talked about it orally for the slide “Our Recommendation”.
Sincerely,
Jackie Chen
His reply:
With all due respect….your presentation needed to cover it in the content shown…you can’t assume everyone will “hear” your comments IF there isn’t a point presented…..
Is he mocking me or what? Look at those ellipses. Did I sound disrespectful in my email? Is it too much to ask for a respectful and professional email? My god I just have attracted a long line of bad professors… (ellipses intended and used appropriately)
hahahahha HI THERE STRANGER :) USC is pretty good! I can’t believe it’s already the end of the year. Everything just flew by. I am trying to search for an internship still or at least get a job. Then there’s studying for finals hahaha how are you? :D
After watching all these amazing dancers on YouTube with Gloria and Caroline, I had this sudden fear that my life is very average. Here I am, eating pasta and sitting in front of my computer typing up an essay. I feel like I haven’t done anything special this year while everyone else gets these amazing internships opportunities and activities that they love doing. They’re going to travel over the summer or do internships in China. I don’t even know what to expect this summer. I just feel very mediocre. I am not complaining or whining, I am just wondering what I should do with myself. I am trying to get involved and get all these opportunities but maybe I am just mindlessly throwing myself into them. I need to seriously find something different that makes me stand out, more for myself than for other people. I know I am not mediocre so I better fix this soon.
Back to my essay.
I really want to just travel right now. I want to hike up through mountains, trail blaze to newer adventures, and just drive, drive, drive. I am not sure if it is because of the stress of finals coming up or whether I just miss being outdoors so much. If I have discovered anything this semester, is that I really love being outdoors. I feel so much more at peace when I am sitting outside staring at trees and the sky. I always wonder if my projected image of what my future career would look like will be right for me. I’d be mostly in the office or in the car, pacing between air-conditioned, temperature-controlled environments, clean-smell of lysol, and the smell of the streets of LA (not that thatis necessarily bad). It will be long hours and long nights, rise and shine in the early morning, but not to wake up early to go hiking/strolling/meandering. And even if it’s not in nature, I want to just explore cities and historical landmarks. But then again, I have to make money somewhere to do that and I also want to live comfortably.
I always wonder if I will end up where I’m supposed to be. Where am I supposed to be? I just feel like I am wandering around in a somewhat concrete path.
AND
AND WATCH IT SPIN!!:D
“Despite all of their shortcomings, do you know why I still like Americans?
Heehee the artist for the Kim Possible series was here today! I bought one of his prints and got it autographed :) Hooray for childhood memories.
How poetic!
I can’t figure out whether finding my own money in my pockets or cleaning my room is awesome or depressing. Where did my money go when I needed it? At the same time, I feel slightly richer, even if it is only for awhile.
It never ends.
This summer will be the time as I start my new project! (That won’t die like Kitchen Works LOL)
