The Clock is Ticking...

Ah~! There's nothing better than waking up to a phone call, asking you for an interview. haha j/k (I actually really enjoy waking up to music. I think it's the best feeling in the world. Like a song from the radio that you love, or a song you've never heard but hear for the first time as you wake up. Honestly amazing! What about you? What makes you feel like you're floating on clouds in the morning?)

I am quite happy that I got a call this morning from this particular company b/c I can see myself growing in it, so it is exciting, to say the least. I really hope I do get it, but who knows with all the competition.
Bleh. The interview is on Thursday. Prayers please :) Let's hope they don't get turned off by my citizenship (fingers crossed).

Anyway, today I am trekking out to Brooklyn to go see if I can freelance for this medical supply company. Let's hope I don't get lost. Although it does sound promising...

As of yesterday, my OPT has officially started. OPT stands for Optional Practical Training. I said "Optical" yesterday haha sorry, my bad. It gives international students a year worth of work authorization in the United States. But they need you to find a job within 90 days of its activation date to not violate the status, which was Feb. 2nd for me. So the countdown begins. Sigh.

I hate this being on the clock deal. It's so stressful you know? I feel like I can't relax or even enjoy myself. And recently, maybe a few months ago, I started feeling the pressure of being a girl as well. I always thought I could just focus on my career and not worry about marriage until I'm 30. Honestly, but people around me are asking if I want children and I say OF COURSE I do, so then they say, well, you should at least have a baby by then, which doesn't give me much time does it now???? *phew*

It's unfair. I hate feeling pressured. Why can't I just take my time...? Sigh. I'm sighing a lot in this post huh? I'm telling you I wish I could just break all the clocks in this world. hehe I'm kidding. Kinda.

I'm sorry this post was filled with angst and complaints. But there was a little bit of excitement, and that was what I was REALLY trying to share ;)

Bye for now...
