Aiyeee.....

Whew!

Lots of stuff going on in the past couple weeks: the WTC tragedy (well I don't think I want to dwell on it any longer); classes; readings for said classes; prep for presentations; looking at sample LSATs; reading about law schools; starting to fill out applications; writing e-mails and just generally deciding what I really want to do with my life. I've got quite a few things on my to-do list...

With the start of school, I've been running around like a naive first year (you know what I mean right? All those keener first years are running around in the first semester so that they can get to class on time. The third and fourth year students are so jaded/apathetic, you never see them run--they only walk). This will be my last semester, so I've been running up and down to the admin offices to make sure that I'm graduating, and all the associated paperwork is going smoothly. I certainly don't want to be told a few months down the line that I can't graduate because I missed filling out a form or something like that.

While speeding around the admin section I bumped into several profs that I've taken courses with. They all recognized me...a sure sign that I've been at this school too long. Time to move on, I guess. It just feels weird to say that I'm actually graduating. I'm graduating. I'm graduating. I'm graduating.

Nope still sounds weird.

Although, it's not like I'm taking the whole actual graduation process seriously. I don't plan on going to the graduation ceremony (although my parents will probably have other thoughts about this). I'm hoping to be travelling to some foreign country, by the time the graduation ceremony is held in June 2002. For all I care, my school can just send me the diploma through the mail with insufficient postage attached.

Actually, I've given some thought whether I should delay my graduation for a few months so I can go on an exchange to Yonsei University or Seoul National University. On the one hand, an exchange to Korea would give me lots of time to meet and visit all my friends in Korea, but on the other hand I gotta question the educational and practical value of studying and living in Seoul for another 4 months. I really do miss my friends and relatives in Korea, but that would be the only reasons I would want to go visit Korea again. Well maybe for the food....and perhaps for the hottchicks™...and perhaps for the culture....awww shucks, I really DO miss my Korea... But even still, I've always wanted to travel to China. (You've heard me complain about the lack of money, etc.) That idea of stowing away onboard a shipping container is starting to get better and better. *Sigh*

Anyway I've just thinking about all my options... In the end I'll probably just flip a coin.

Ah...my photo shoot with Lisa Ha went well (quarter of the contact sheet is shown here). Client seems satisfied--and that's what counts, I guess. I'm getting the lab to finish up with the enlargements. I'll post the final scans in a couple of weeks.

In the meanwhile, keep safe and cool, gentle reader...
