I Don't Know, Whatever!

Heya people! I'm here to update my blog again after almost four months, YEAY!  Typical me, I know I don't update my blog often but I guess, at least something is better than nothing right? Well, it's the final week of classes and next week is the finals week. Can you believe it? Time fucking flies like crazy. Insane. Nevertheless, I truly can't deny the fact that I learnt so much this whole entire semester. Too many thing happened, and trust me when I say really crazy things happened. Challenges, turmoil as well as good moments. I just turned 21 about two weeks ago and I had a really special and amazing celebration which I'll remember forever because it was that sweet yo! I felt so loved. Thank you, Rohan :) I'm so happy that I can finally hit the bar or club and buy my own freaking alcohol. And, guess what? This semester, I went to Karmin's concert for free and last week, I went for another concert which featured P.O.D, Daughtry and 3 Doors Down all in one night!! I was so exciteddd, they're all my favourite and I was just too happyyyy that I got to see my favorite singers perform live right in front of my eyes. Check out my pictures in Facebook, I was really that close to the stage :) I'm really looking forward to attending Greenday's and Lady Gaga's concert next yearrrr! 

Well, Thanksgiving break was fine, I went to Philly for Black Friday with Suli and we literally shopped till we dropped. We were up the whole day and night and shopped for almost 9 hours. Exhausting, man. Yet, I was contented with my new clothes, because I just LOVE shoppingg. Right now, I'm trying to save up so I will have enough money to enjoy myself during the winter break in west coast. Yes, two more weeks awayyy! I took only 15 credits this semester, but I was pretty busy every single week, thanks to Organic Chem and Immunology. Haha! I mean, I like it, I love keeping myself busy so I'm not complaining. I finally learnt to juggle between my studies and sorority, and figured how things work in sorority, like all those participation and stuff. I learnt to set my priorities right and manage my time well. Yeay! Also, being an undergraduate research assistant has taught me a lot, not only in terms of hands-on experience of working in an actual research lab, but also in terms of personal values, especially PATIENCE. Yes, patience. Being in the lab and doing what any other researchers do every single day of their life, I have really learnt that there is no cut to anything, especially success. Things will not turn out to be the way we want all the time and sometimes, even after so much of hard work, time and effort we put into something, life will not promise success right away. Well, I know that sounds cliche and cheesy but unfortunately, that is the truth we often take for granted. A lot of times, simple things in life can really teach you a lesson and open up your eyes to things that you have never seen or realized before. At least for me it does. 

After working in the research lab for almost 6 months now, I am not really sure if this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I mean, it's not that I don't like the experience, I love it, trust me I really do, but being a researcher demands a lot of commitment and it's really daunting. Although it is something that I would really want to do one day, it's definitely not something I want to do for the rest of my life. I have other dreams, and I'm also the type of person who likes to go out, travel, meet new people and get inspired by many different stuffs. And I don't want to be stuck in the lab the whole time. So yeah, story of my life. Haha! I still have time to figure this out and I will decide when the time comes. For now, I have some serious studying to do, I need to score 4.0 again this semesterrrr! I really hope I can do it, we'll see. Wish me luck and pray for me. Love love. Good luck for finals, you guys! Go kick some asses, and break a leg!
