I read most of the entries I wrote like three(?!) years ago and
found they're endearing and funny. My life was geographically
restricted but seemed so much more lively than my current life. I
blogged constantly with more remarks on academia and love. I can't
believe I nominated P as the man I would want to marry?! It's
interesting to see how things developed in stages.
Today several things make me happy. There's something to look forward to tomorrow. I don't want to review too soon and jinx my chance. But just did a little digging and reread my own work. I think I have a fair chance to get what I want. Let's put it that way. Also I have another person calling want to have my apartment over the summer. It may mean that I don't have to deduct my budget at all. She'll probably take the apartment as it is. Who knows? If she does and get back to me tomorrow, it'd be me who breaches the contract eventually. Anyway, I'm a lawyer I know some way to get around that obstacle.
On other news, a firm in Switzerland replied and asked for my time to start? I'm sure it's only a routine question that the assistant need to collect the info for the partner and fill out some excel form or something. It'd be totally absurd if I get in. Knowing myself, after getting the reply I immediately googled them and see the lawyer's pictures rather than profile. They are beautiful! All of them are. The young, the old, men and women. They can easily pass for any Vogue preface ad! It's insane. Imagine my already low self esteem would be ruined in I join them. The reason I post it here not fearing of jinxing anything is because first of all there's no way they will hire me. Second, I don't want to go. I'd rather start my career here and move around in the second decade of my professional life.
Come to think of it, there's some prospect to moving to Europe. I don't have to stick anywhere. I don't know if that possibility will shrink if I move down south with boyfriend. Anyway, I will just do what I need to do for now and fate will take care of the rest. Oh and another motivation to pick up my French soon! Parlet vous Francais? Voila.
There's career development event on campus in 30 minutes. I should have worked on my reading assignment but procrastination is bane of my existence.
