Misadventures of Hung: when the light at the end of the tunnel calls your name ...

Song of the day - The Arcade Fire: Haiti

OK OK, I apologze to myself for not updating this as regularly as desired. Busy with midterms and such. I keep thinking that this blogger will act as a guide along the lines of something from the movie Memento. Sometimes my mind wanders and heaven can be hell.

CareerFair 2005
So, the last four months of undergrad... It's fucking devastating! I seriously liked being under the gun of having deadlines and learning. OK, having a job probably requires the same elements, but I seriously doubt I will find a job of that nature. Speaking of jobs, I attended the local careerfair with a friedn of mine hoping ot network and see what's out there when I graduate. So I had two particular companies in mind. One was a doctor and the other was a generic pharmaceuticals manufacturer. One went well with good conversation. The other, not so well. I think i prepared too much whereby my questions were a bit too specific for the HR generalist to answer. So from the fair, I'd say it was worht it. Even if there aren;t any companies you find intersting, it was a great way to parctice your selling skills. This was a great forum to practice small talk and see what industry is looking for in terms of personnel. Who knows, you might score an interview.

Grad Ball, Grad Ball, Grad Ball...
It's bullshit! Yeah, it could be fun if you 're into dressing up and being uncomfortable, but I dont think it's my cup of tea. yes, I've been to one before so it's not like "you've got to try it to know what it's all about". Theonly reason why I'm considering it is that it's the only oppurtunity to get to celebrate with the people you spend the most time with outside of home (well, at least for me). I've give credit, where credit's due: everyone I know or want to know in science will be there (Maybe Ruth?? Fingers crossed. hehe). And I don't like going to functions like this alone. Yeah, it's cool to go with friends, but again, it'd be weird. I wouldn't know what to expect and all that jazz. Can't we just all go to a bar or pub and get shit-faced? This solves so many ambiguities about expectation and dress code. Also, it's economically viable for everyone. Soem dress themes have been thrown around so I guess I have something to get out of it.

Hung and the amigos abroad
So as it stands, I think I am going to forego my aforementioned plans of Asia for several reasons:

Hong Kong, Japan, Korean are expensive countries
I only know 1 person from the group of 6
personal interests

When you first hear Asia, would would commonly associate it with a cost-efficient. From the cities, listed, it would be very expensive to be able to enjoy the sights without constantly worrying about money. I don't think I could have a good time having something like that in the back of my mind. I am going to sit down and discuss it with my friend. Initially, I was really interested, but when it comes down to it, the places, people, and cultures I want to experience doesn't mesh will with what Asia has to offer me at this moment. It's always been my dream to visit my parent's native land with them and I think foregoing this oppurtunity would be best for me.

Things are always subject to change in my books so stay tuned.
