Art Pieces from my Paper Making class

The white book with some Japanese titles is a gift from my teacher during my first Paper Making class. The scratch book with the beautiful black cover is the first scratch book I made in the class. Can you believe it? I actually made the three sheets of papers all by myself!

Stressful weekend

Sometimes I just wish that they will choose me over other stuffs but if I were put in the same situation that they faced,will I choose myself? Is it really about making a choice? Am I considerate enough? I admit that I was disappointed but at the same time, I have learned that they will make the same choice any way because that is their principles. Maybe I should care so much about what others think. I know that I still have my friends and my family to count on even though they maybe far away. It does not occur to me that I had to question about their choices because I know that deep down in their heart they really care about me and love me.


To my lovely brother, you sounded so sick in the phone last night. I am so worried. Hope that you will get well soon.

To my friends who are having a stressful weekend, I hope that tomorrow will be a new beginning for you.

Engineering Career Fair

This is the first time I actually have the courage to attend the Engineering Career Fair. I think that I am not good at talking to people at all. However, I don't really think that will be a big problem at all because most of the company representatives are just focusing on my resume. I talked to the guy from Intel but he said that they can't really hire international students except for those with a master degree in computer science but he still suggested me to contact the Intel in Malaysia . I was so disappointed and felt that I was discriminated. However, I feel lucky to talk to the representative from Motorola because I think it may be possible that I would have an internship in Motorola next summer. Actually, I am not sure if I want to stay in the States next summer but I definitely think that I should try attending the career fair this year since I am junior now. Besides, I have a mentee who were willing to accompany me to the career fair this semester. Now, I am just wondering if having a good resume is good enough for a job? I think I still have a long way to. I still need to sharpen my communication skills.

Accepting the changes in my life

Somehow,I feel like my life changes a lot in these few weeks since I came back from Malaysia. I had been through many experiences that I haven't been through in my life. I even feel weird coming back to my apartment because I didn't think that my apartment is the same anymore. Even though I still live in the same building and same floor,I somehow feel very different about my new apartment. Maybe because I had a new housemate now and I feel more comfortable living with her because now whenever I had a bad day in school hoping somebody could listen to my story, I can definitely count on my new housemate. Sometimes walking on the street in the campus makes me think of all the sweet memories that I had shared with my family and friends who come to visit me. I really miss them a lot. I feel that I am more willing to reveal the real me to them because I know that I can definitely trust them. The lucky thing is I get a chance to meet more people this semester. I am so surprised that I actually get a chance to meet 2 new workers in my office. I am still in the process of learning, learning how to socialize, learning how to excel in my field of study, learning how to be independent. I am sure that I will at least improve my social skills by the time I graduate from my beloved U of I. Maybe everything just happens so fast that I need some time to adapt but I think I will be fine.
