There's something about maymester...

I just finished a month's worth of school this week. Two tests after four days of classes-what a great way to kick off my long weekend! My life right now consists of studying, eating, and sleeping. There's something about maymester that kicks my brain in to high anal mode as if it's finals week all over again. I think I must be super stressed because I'm breaking out. Well, maybe not breakout but one huge pimple decided to take up residence on my face. It's probably from the very unhealthy diet I'm on- lamyun, lamyun, lamyun! I never really stress out about pimples or breaking out, but it's my sister's graduation weekend, which means photos. Speaking of my sister's graduation-

CONGRATULATIONS ON GRADUATING FROM OPTOMETRY SCHOOL MY WONDERFUL AWESOME AND AMAZING SISTER!! ...or should I say, Dr. Shim? =)

She truly has been a wonderful role model, mentor, and advisor to me. I wouldn't be where I am without my sister. As her graduation present, I took my sister to Corinne Bailey Rae's concert this past Monday. OH MY GOSH I LOVED IT SO MUCH!! I really think I enjoyed the concert waay more than my sister! Haha! I need to buy her a different present now because I felt like the concert was more for me. CBR is so amazing LIVE!! Her facial expressions are so CUTE and she just has this lovely stage presence. When she sang my favorite song in the whole wide world (Like A Star) I almost peed in my pants. I recorded the whole song on my iphone, but unfortunately I got carried away and all you can hear is me singing along so I won't be able to share the video with you all. *Sigh...I wish I can be her friend. Anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed my CBR's concert. =]

Everyone is graduating. It's exciting and sad. It's exciting that the graduates will be moving on to a new chapter in their life, but sad that few of those graduates will no longer be close to me-geographically. I've made some pretty incredible friends just within the past two semesters and poof!- they are gone. I hate this cycle. It happens to me every 3 or 4 years- all my best friends leave me and I have to find new friends. I sound so lame and pathetic! HAHA! It's like rebirthing. But it's through this rebirth that I make awesome new friends so I'm not at a loss. Plus, I still have couple bffs still around who I can bug. ;)

So lately I've been looking for a place to live. I think I've finally found the place. I'm living with two awesome girls I don't know too well, but I'm looking forward to getting to know them better for the next 5 months or so (this is part of my rebirthing process-haha)! During my research for a place to live I've discovered some pretty AMAZING properties in Athens I never knew even EXISTED. I've been stuck at riverbend all my life (riverbend offers amazing rates & the location is gold.) Unfortunately, the truly amazing places are way out of my budget, but wow, SO freaking amazing!!

Did I mention that I'll be a PR digital media intern for CNN this summer? I'm stoked!! Just got all the paper work from Turner HR and I had so many papers to sign. I felt like I was signing my life away! I'm really excited and scared all at the same time about my internship. I'm scared I'll screw something up, but excited about learning. I'm also excited about possible future opportunities this internship may bring! Other interns have already reached out and we've made plans to meet up and chat. We have quite a diverse group of interns this summer! I love the fact that they are mostly ALL from out of state/country. I have a feeling we will all be romping around ATL this summer! =] I'm looking forward to it. The interns are required to dress professionally while at work, which means I have to go shopping for some dressy shoes that are flat or just ever so slightly heeled- ugh. I can't imagine dressing professionally everyday from June to mid August, but oh well, that's all part of the real world experience, right? =)

I am reeaallly excited about this summer. I'll be learning SO much and I'm looking forward to it. I feel like I started the year off kinda "eh" and I know we are already half way through this year (MAN time FLIES!!), but I'm gonna make the REST of this year MINE. I'll be interning, finishing up undergrad, finding a job- and all through this process, I'm going to make each step worth-while and memorable.
