Hard to believe it's time to move again. My new condo's ready! Really exciting, and really scary at the same time. I mean... my own place??? It's out of this world.
I really haven't had much time to think and reflect on things lately. I've kind of been taking things as they come. Bills come in, payments go out. I need to buy something? I do. Someone's birthday? I get a present and try to help plan it. Monday or Friday afternoon? I practice wushu. The whole close of escrow process has been one errand after another too. Get this form, get this, make copies, fax, verify that they went through, etc... My parents have been very supportive and helpful through it all. I suppose they have to be, since they are investing quite a bit in this too.
Social life has actually not been bad at all. I still chat a lot, but I do meet up with people to hang out in real life too. Went to dinner with Ping earlier this week, after wushu practice. And I've been getting to know people a little better too, and getting a chance to be a friend to them. Sometimes, I think people don't want to "lay their burdens" on other people, and end up not relying on people. They don't always realize that giving their friend a chance to be a friend is an incredible blessing. I don't know about you, but I care about my friends, and it makes me feel like I'm making a difference when my friends rely on me.
I've decided to compete in the Collegiate wushu tourney this year. I'm in decent shape right now, and I've figured out how to do both the jump-inside splits and jump-inside fall. Should be fun to showcase a little bit. =) I feel like my form has improved dramatically lately too, so this'll be a good measure of that.
Work is good. I found out that I've been a little wreckless with my testing, so I need to slow down a little bit and be more thorough in what I do. I'm giving a presentation on Tuesday. Kind of exciting, but kind of scary at the same time. One thing the real world has taught me is not to fear. It really doesn't help anything. Accept challenges and meet them. Take care of things as they arise. Maybe the whole "bias toward action" ideal that Siebel has is influencing me in a good way. I'm not anywhere near as lazy now as I was, say 3 months ago. Weekends are awesome, but too short.
Speaking of work, maybe I should actually do some...
