OMG!!! I'm going to the Utada concert in NYC!!! they're not actually sold out like Utadanet.com says, livenation is actually selling the tickets (although for $12 extra dollars).

whatever, i'm going on Feb 8th!!!!!

SO SO SO SO SO EXCITED.

I was actually worried that I was going to have to go by myself, but my "new" friend actually wants to go and so does her boyfriend. so yey! :)

 First, I would like to say "sorry" for my negligence of this journal.

Well, summers ending (i'm so sorry for not updating, but livejournal just isn't a priority anymore with school/internships/part-time jobs). But by no means am I abandoning livejournal, because i still love all the communities. I'm still going to occasionally spazz and update, it just won't be regularly (not like it was before lol).

So anyway, here's what i did this summer:

• Make my resume, portfolio, cover letters
• Go to job interviews
• Interning at a marketing/design company in NYC 3 days a week
• Working at my local part-time job 3 days a week
• Going to a black and white traditional film photography class every saturday
• Seeing a psychologist once a week (just because i always wanted to try one to get rid of deep seeded emotions *sigh*)
• Hanging with friends occasionally
• Watching movies like: The Ugly Truth, The Proposal, can't remember anymore.....
• Shopping and spending money in Soho!!!!
• Got a new Macbook Pro 15' , the Adobe programs, and Microsoft Office
• Discovered cool new j-pop artists like: ayaka and mihimaru GT
• Discovered that the "real world" is HARD
• Figured out that maybe I'm not cut out for graphic design and maybe even Pratt Institute (my college)
• Opened up to some people

Oh yes, a hectic summer it has been. But i'm very proud of it. Usually i don't do anything and am lazy and don't even hang with friends. Well, this time they actually wanted to hang and I got to gain a lot of job experience! 

What I need to work on now is getting rid of my shyness and actually talking to people and making more friends. In school, I am painfully shy.... and i have yet to go clubbing, partying or any of that. I'm socially behind, but i hope to catch up.... soon. 

****This really needs an update.... -_-;;;;;; i need a new layout, new prof banner, new ICONS. suggestions?

 WOW.... I haven't started applying for internships really until this week. I know it's REALLY late, but I hope to still get one. Are they that hard to get? They are unpaid after all. I've applied to about 5 by email. I hope they email me back.... and I also wonder how long it takes for them to email back and how many applicants they get.


Ugh, this sucks T.T..... It's because I really didn't know how to make my resume and portfolio and I procrastinated until last week. But that's no excuse I guess.

Oh, and I figured out what I "am" at college. I'm an indecisive perfectionist. Yup, that's me :).

I want everything to be perfect, so that when I feel overwhelmed, I put it off (procrastinate). I also tend to be disorganized, and end up not doing anything instead of "just doing it." It's "all or nothing" thinking. My dad helped me look it up "indecisive perfectionist" online. -_-;; lol.

Oh, the things one can learn about oneself in college.

Hey, does anyone have an internship/job???? can anyone give me some tips on how to get one/the process?? I'm really shy, I don't have a lot of experience, but I feel that I have a good portfolio (for a sophmore xD).

Thanks!

(I'm sorry I'm never on LJ anymore..... I'll may be on more over the summer now -especially if I don't get a job/internship-)

PS - on a happier note, I've decided that I want an asian haircut xD. I had the Japanese magazine Cutie and Japanese Seventeen. My sister and I found haircuts that we want to try. Kyaaaa <3333.. So excited. I think we're getting the haircuts on saturday. I'll post a picture of it ;)

 OMG!!!!!!! Almost all my final projects are due this week and I've been really behind so I have to do A LOT!!! 

Argh... don't know where to start. maybe by listing my homework and what's due:

What's due this week:
Mon - 2 Illustrations (but i decided to skip, because i just couldn't do it!)
Tues - Life in a Day Book, min 5 page Art Hist paper
Wed - Magazine spread, typography presentation about Post-Modernism
Thurs - Finished version of my CD designs, Finished 6 months of the calendar designs
Fri - Progress on my advertisements

Yeah, so I skipped today's Illustration class! it's the first time i skipped this semester. I really wanted to be able to say: "I went to EVERY class this semester :)"

So now i have to write my Art Hist paper and finish my Life in a Day Book (both of which i didn't start yet). Oh man... hopefully i'll survive this week without too much disappointment.

Also, I'm gonna call someone for an internship. I'm so nervous!!! *uncomfortable* I'm a very shy person, so talking on the phone with someone in order to promote myself is pretty difficult.

On a happier note, while procrastinating, I decided to start watching Darker Than BLACK. OMG it's SOOO GOOD! i only saw the first 2 epis though. i LOVE the OP song. Abingdon boys school rock!

I currently have a new "obsession." It's Polyvore, the collaging/fashion website xD. Here are 2 sets that I made:


I'm cultivating my sweet dreams this spring. - by lovelydawn on Polyvore.com

( Here's the 2nd set! )
Yeah, this website helps keep me awake when I have to do homework... it also distracts me from my homework LOL.

But anyway, if anyone is interested in the artsy side to fashion / interior design or just plain old collaging, this website is so fun xD. Or if anyone has an account already, please tell me your username! :D

POLYVORE ♥♥
