summer is here

Summer is definitely here! These past 2 days had been really hot, reaching over 90 degress. Definitely the sign that summer is coming... hopefully this phase will change. Mid 80 is probably going to be the best weather instead of high 90.

Last Sunday night, I couldn't even sleep at all.. well maybe i did sleep for a bit but it felt like I was just closing my eyes but my mind was still running around, wide awake. I opened up my two windows... turned on fan (eventhough I turned it off because the noise was kind off a bit annoying), my room is still freakin hot.... like an oven.. I tossed my blanket to the floor, practically sleeping with my shorts and tshirt... but still couldn't fall asleep... Well...that lack of sleep kinda affected me during work :p I felt that my feet didn't touch the floor when i walked.... lol...i was flying..... hahahahah (i wish :-p). Anyway, I learned my lesson.. so I turned the fan on high, left it running the whole night, opened up my two windows and slept only with tshirt and undies ( :-D). I slept like a baby. Really nice....I wish it wasn't this hot... but better hot than freezing cold...

excited?

While munching some carrots and tomatoes, my mind start wandering and thinking what I am going to do for the next few days. In 2 more weeks, I'll be taking a 3 months "vacation" from work and I'll be going back to school to study project management. The program itself is for a year, so during those 3 months gap, i'll be taking summer course first. Why am I doing that? Blame it on the visa... I'm still waiting for my new working visa to come out (it will come out probably few days before oct 1) and my current OPT/working student visa will be expired on June 28th and in oder to be able to stay here legally, I have to keep maintaining my F-1 student status (which is by going back to school again) or going home. Hmmmm the second option is kind of tempting.. but I told the lawyer that I was planning to take classes during those 3 months before he applied the visa for me. So if i'm going home, that means he has to contact the INS and make some arrangement so that my new visa can be sent to the US embassy in Jakarta. I don't really know if it will work or not since it's already in the process....so that leaves me the first option.

Truthfully trying to find a school + program that I want was really a pain in the ass.... At first I was interested with one school but it turns out that they have a new curriculum and that changed the whole matter. After browing around, in the end I was able to find one and everything is already (so far) under control. Going back to school......not really sure if i'm excited for it or not... hahahahah i'm more excited that I don't have to wake up early in the morning anymore as I'm taking night classes....But still, there's a part where i can't really wait to start school again...So I just have to wait and see how it goes during the first week of class. Hopefully it won't be that bad as I'm taking easy classes this summer.

Counting down to my last day at work, and to my first day back at school again.
