Unpredictable life

I had a bad headache yesterday before watching the animation movie "5 centimeters per second". I guess I was pretty busy last week squeezing time from school to prepare for job interviews. Just like what Ava and Heather said that job hunting is an extremely exhausting and frustrating process, especially in this not-so-good job market. It can be one of the valleys in your life. But I guess everybody's been through this and I can't just give up now. = =

Other than the frustrating part, my recent life is actually okay. Schoolwork has been pretty okay and I can't complain a thing. It's not that tiring as I thought and fortunately, I have great team members in different projects, considerate and supportive professors and a not that hectic schedule. I actually started my Hatha Yoga class last week and it's great. It teaches basic movements and some meditation skills to help relax and focus. Mom is glad that I'm taking this class since it gives me some relaxing and peaceful time not to think about other frustrating things. So far I like it and if I'm still into it later, I guess I can take some class outside school then.

There's a graduation countdown application on Facebook that Heather told me the other day. She said it's kind of scary to think about we're leaving school that soon. I couldn't agree more, so I decided not even look at that application just to keep me calm down. I'll probably panic if I get to see that countdown every day.

I heard a lot of after-college stories, from friends or from people that I don't really know well, and I feel that life sometimes can be truly unpredictable. You never know where it'll take you next year, or even next month. For me, I've no idea where I'll go after college at this moment. Well, no like "totally no idea". If I don't land a job, I'll probably go visit Ava in San Diego and then fly home. I think I'm able to guess the big picture of the puzzle, but just not able to know how each piece will be put together.

But I know one thing that no matter how things work out for me in the end, I need to make decisions and they won't be easy. Actually, no decision in our life has been easy to make, has it?
