Four Super Short Stories: A Written Snapshot of a Lot Going On

My body is telling me to sleep. It's already past one in the morning! But my mind's keeping me wide awake. I can't even think clearly about the various things that's running in my mind.

Item # 1: Mon will be leaving for Vietnam on Sunday for work - a year away from me, from each other

He was informed about it on January 19. Oh, they said he would be leaving on the third of February, but informed him a week later that he might be leaving earlier instead. Ah! It's going to be a really new year with new adventure - no Mon by my side. Thanks to the internet, and thankfully it's only Vietnam, I hope it wouldn't feel like so far away from each other.

Item # 2: I applied for the graduate program in UPSE

Last week, I finally submitted my application for the MA program in Econ. Finally! After a "long preparation." I asked three of my mentors to recommend me to the program, which took me about three days to complete excluding following them up about submitting the form. I wrote my statement of purpose for desiring to study economics, which took me (let me guess) about a week in all to finish excluding idle time in between "actively writing days" (please not that I count a couple of hours work in a day as one single day). I hope I can make it!

Item # 3: I have a part time work as a research assistant for an ICT project

Cyber campaign. Political blogging. 2010 presidential election. That's what the project is about. I wouldn't miss the Senate after all! Hehe. I'm thankful that I have this work. However, with the two items above occupying my mind the past week (and still this week for item # 1), I haven't really given much time for this worthwhile research work. I'll catch up tomorrow. I already started earlier tonight. Yipee! Though I didn't expect it is tiring just surfing the internet about presidentiables' websites, blogs, social networking sites, latest polls, etc. And I don't even know what exactly I should do aside from document those things. Which reminds me that it is necessary to have regular internet access.

Item # 4: If I couldn't find additional sources of income, I would have to ask for money from my Daddy starting September - or even June if I should be more practical

I have to admit it. Oh, life. I have to work. Haha! Though I'm actually thinking of using the "business" side of what I learned in college. I took a major in business economics, by the way. ;)

Happy Chinese New Year! (Whew, new year uli haha!)
