Sometimes you just see stuff that makes you really happy.
In other news, I created an account at Formspring.me, where anyone can ask questions (anonymously) and I can answer them. (truthfully or not, i suppose). It seems to be an interesting product where people ask some good, some weird questions, and people give some interesting answers. My URL is http://www.formspring.me/byroncheng , send me a question or two.
It snowed a ton today, and my shoes and pants got kind of wet. While getting a ride back home, I commented that I still hadn’t bought boots (in the almost four years I’ve been here). But it’s time for me to buy some boots. Chicago is no longer just a temporary location – I’m in it for the long haul.
I spoke to my to-be supervisor last week. It’s just crazy to see how quickly I am moving towards the next stage of my life. During the benefits call, we discussed things like 401k and its vesting, and the various pension plans. For the first time, it really hit me that this new change in my life would really be a new step. Some people work at their jobs for years before changing – some never do. My mom has been working at the same company for at least 15 years now, and my dad just switched after about 8. Now it’s my turn to start working and building a career for myself. I realized on new years eve that it would probably be one of my last days living in my California life. Since I start right after school ends, I really won’t have much time at home.

What does one do with out of season Christmas lights?
Well, if you really have not much do, you can hack together decorations for your room. I decided that i felt like doing some mood lighting (or background lighting? I don’t really know what it is called). I figured that my bed would be a good place to start. Therefore, I have applied Christmas lights to the headboard and under the bed to make it look like my bed is going to fly away.
A good project for a 3 day weekend. Fun stuff!
If a company sends me Cap’n crunch…
…I think it probably was the right decision. I received a gift basket from my to-be supervisor at PepsiCo. I had returned to school by the time it was delivered, but my mother was very nice and decided to open it and take photos for me. The contents are basically what you can see. The brown box at the bottom is actually a compass.
Thanks Pepsi! (and Alison + Team!) I look forward to our formal introduction in June!
