L : Last Semester of Undergrad - Week 6

YES! Interview is over and done with! I can't say I feel spectacular about it, but I don't think I bombed it. I really need more practice with interviews though. I want to know what interviewers think when I answer their questions. Anyway, apart from thinking about the interview these past two weeks, there were some nice bits of relaxation.

The French restaurant I went to last week for my friend's 21 was called Cafe Beaujolais. Small, delicious dishes that took probably 40 minutes to come and vanished within 10 minutes.
Appetizer:

My meal (some sort of salmon):


More food: I saw these at one of the university's cafes. Doesn't look as delicious is Sus' macaroons. tehehh


And the 3-day, 3-holiday weekend I went home, I tried my purple eyeliners. Love love. But I'm still experimenting with them. I went with the light colored one today for the interview. My mom said the dark colored one fits better for night events and the light one for the day. Purple is seriously one awesome color.


Also while at home, I ate at Mad Fish for the first time. Not bad. But really not that special. I really loved their rice though. So cute and well-displayed. Very Japanese-like. Food was assembled very nicely.


More about this week. Interview questions make me feel the need to plan out my future now and play it so it happens as planned. But I'll still leave everything open. Who knows, maybe I'll end up with my PharmD and work in entertainment!

Last night, when I came off from work, there was a woman sitting next to Tommy Trojan. She attracted me with her FREE "I love your SMILE" sticker. She told me how she was raising money for children who need education, food, or whatnot in the world, and she just started today. $3 for one child, $5 can pay for 2. Who knows if she was telling the truth, but I took her word for it. I wanted to donate $5, but I only had a $20. So she said she could give me change. I ended up donating $6. Not bad though. I truthfully told her "and I love your smile~" when I left and she had given me another sticker. I probably won't ever know if my $6 will really feed someone out there, but ever since going to Spain, I've had this desire to make enough money to be the one to act rather than the one who donates. Or maybe, my work can be to provide health services for those children/people. Who knows. That's an open option too. After I walked away from that lady, I thought, does it matter the people we choose to approach or the people we smile to and greet? Does it matter whether they sit on the side of the sidewalk or walk on the streets? There may be a possibility that the person is dangerous, but don't most people welcome the warmth of acknowledgement? On Tuesday, when walking to my Japanese Anime class, I passed by these two African American old daddy-like men sitting on the street. I've passed by one of them before. I saw no harm in saying Good morning to them. And they said that to me too. Cheery men, they were. Who knows if they were homeless. But they were cheery.

Does it matter that I don't mind extending out to those others may find suspicious or annoying? Or that I don't feel the iffyness some people get from others? I let however I feel when I am with them be what I feel. Is there a reason to analyze it any further? I've learned that there are overly simplistic people who don't want to think too much about others' actions (and can be difficult to handle), but over-complicating things can just be as difficult to handle. Maybe I'm complicating things in my own way.

I'll trust first and be patient. I think it's hard to get me to lose either/both with someone. But it's possible.
