Q: You applied for a slow speed one or what?

I spilled a cup of tea on the mini cupboard I used as my laptop table. It’s official. I do make that mistake every single year without fail. Apparently I aced Klutz 101 with ease, often than not unintentionally so (then again, how can one be doing this on purpose?). I remembered the stain of that red wine on my cousin sister’s evening gown. Ho…good ol innocent days. Topic change. Been having rather spotty internet lines lately and dare I say, it’s getting harder to blog everyday too considering my schedule is rather tight bound. Honestly, these days are just a plow through in and out. Since I am assigned two clients, figuring out the system of this institute is of utmost priority and doing a decent job is an inescapable must. Good thing both clients' parents seem appreciative to have an international working with their children. Then again, I think I have a good baseline rate on words like “sorry” and “ok” this week. Let’s try decreasing that after I’m done with the behavior training. But that will have to wait till Thursday.

Anyway, Carmen gathered a successful turnout of ten Malaysians at University1’s lounge area. It was to be a potluck party and get-to-know session. Three Hopkins freshies brought additional meal plan food; truth to be told, I was only aiming for the plums. The others were of sophomores and seniors all of which were on some sort of scholarship. So yea, I was the odd one out. The only graduate student and I don’t get any favors from the government, not to mention age wise, I'm the oldest too. But they seemed nice and as the undergraduate seniors phase out next year, I suppose it’s good to meet some faces that I know will stick around for a while.

Omg, I am procrastinating on my readings again. Ikenai!
