So They Say...

The most insufferable facebook poster usually posts something cryptic about what's happening in his/her life. Probably because of the need for attention. Well that's true. I've always wanted attention, even as a child. I remember vividly one day my parents weren't there for this parent-teacher conference and I pointed out to other parents how good my drawing was when they were admiring their child's. Haha! Sad, I know. Deep down I've always wanted  recognition and accolades from my peers.

But when people actually praise what I did, I have this tendency to downplay it when I should just shut up and say "Thanks for the compliment". So Asian.

The whole week with planning for Dr. Sieber's lectures went well and I am very proud of myself. It has made me realize how much I appreciate comparative criminal law and given a chance I would be very interested in studying more about how justice works all over the world. I guess that would really be hardcore geekery at work. I'm so excited for the future! Really, as I told Miles, I don't mind being a spinster if all this academic/work stuff actually happens. I guess it wouldn't be so bad to get married to my work.
