Digging up the time capsule

My my...its been quite a while since I wrote a blog post. Almost two years! I'd be lying if I said nothing's changed since my junior year of college, which is when I last blogged.

For one thing, I ended up reviving my Facebook page. Although not a day has gone by where I haven't thought about deactivating it again!!

So my blog revival started really because of two friends...Winston and Nicole who are both currently blogging their thoughts as well. Maybe, I thought, if I have friends that are blogging I might also be inclined to do the same! O__O so we shall see how this goes.

Today, I had a midterm exam for my special topics class in high voltage DC transmission systems (EE 599). Yeah...another big life update. I'M IN GRAD SCHOOL. It's so weird now how when I go to campus I think about how at least half of all the people I see are younger than me. And I'm not a Green Tech student anymore, but an EE student. Which is kind of scary. Am I getting myself in some deep kimchee here? Is EE way too over my head, especially coming out of undergrad with an ISE degree? So far, everything is just fine. I'm not failing any of my classes (big thumbs up for that) and I've even had two EE internships since the last time I wrote. Which just goes to show you

anything is possible

no matter how crazy or wild it may seem to be initially.  And I'd like to think that this lesson is the most important thing I've learned in the past couple of years. Anything, good or bad, big or small, smart or dumb, chocolate or vanilla, can happen to any given person at any time without regard to anything else that is happening in this world. And because anything is possible, I've learned that I must always

be prepared 

to spend days out of my weekend flying to Hawaii only to return to the mainland within 6 hours, or to drink one too many happy hour margaritas at La Barca, or to kick back once in a while since there's no one at USC to hang out with and spend a few hours (or half a day) watching Korean dramas on your mom's online account.

My most recent completion, by the way, is "I Do, I Do" which was really great because the main characters and conflicts centered around a shoe designer and her work place (a shoe designing company). Also known as heaven if you ask me.

Basically, since my last blog post, this is how I've decided to live my life...by remembering that anything is possible and to always be prepared for what lies ahead. I feel like I've taken it to heart, and now as I graduate for the third time in my short and illustrious life, I think I am finally at ease with leading my life in this way. Especially since I have no backup plan this year, there are way more unknowns than I am comfortable with.

As I read my old posts before reviving my blog, I laughed and thought to myself, WOW...the things I thought were so important before really didn't matter too much in the bigger picture. When I read this post in a few years, what will I say to myself?? Will I still be living my life as a prepared person ready for limitless possibilities? Or will I be a beach bum sipping my maitais by day and working Mai Tais at night...maybe its best not to think about that for now and just sit back as things take their course. Either way, I'll be ready.
