Currently in Washington along with my school friends.

I'm too tired to update anything now. To summarize, the trip is going fine, though I think I'm going through more of an emotional rollercoatser than I care for. I can't say it has nothing to do with the trip itself, but it has been on-going issue for quite a while now. I don't like what's happening to me now but there is very little I can do about it.

I'm doing some preliminary research for my Research Paper (which deserves to be capitalized because I need this paper in order to graduate), and let's just say I've completely forgotten what undergraudate textbooks look like - with expensive paper, wide margins and lots of colourful pictures. But I'm not complaining; it's definitelly easier on the eyes.

I've been having a meat craving for days now, but up until now I still haven't consumed any red meat, thanks to my mom's cooking. She has been making chicken, veggie dishes, fish, but just no meat. And it's driving me crazy.

I will do something about that tomorrow. Watch me.

Okay, I need to stop sleeping 10 hours everyday. It's probably not good for me.

I'm looking at my wardrobe, and I'm really surprised that half of my wardrobe is now either business causal or business formal. The problem is that I probably would still have to invest more in work clothes because it still feels like I was always wearing the same thing to work...but that can wait until next year I guess.

I actually haven't spent much money over the summer on non-work related stuff. I've gotten a nice black leather purse, a pair of heels because my only nice pair was falling apart, and spent a lot of money flying back to Vancouver for the interviews, but otherwise I wasn't really in the mood of shopping at all. I'm sure I can remedy that once school starts - not sure if that's a good thing, though.

Last day of work today. I'm officially DONE!

But yeah, now I have nothing to do...I need to get a life.

Before that though, I think I'll stop using my brain for a while. I think as soon as I handed in my last assignment my brain just...CRASHED. Like a computer crash. I just couldn't summon up any energy to make any coherent response. Heck, I couldn't even really form an appropriate emotional response. I just pretty much felt nothing when I said my goodbyes today, not because I'm not sad about leaving (god knows it took me weeks to come to terms with the fact that I'm not going back next year), but because I was so exhausted.

I think, by the frequent updates, you can tell that I'm bored.

Even though it's a government job, in a sense it still consumes your life because unlike school, you are not accountable only to yourself but also to the people you are working for. Which has left me without much of a hobby. And I don't really know what to do with myself now. Not that I don't have anything to do, but I just don't want to touch that 7 page long memo tonight. But I'm too lazy and tired to find some other things to entertain myself with. And I don't want to use my brain either. So here I am, absolutely bored out of my mind.

...maybe I should go to bed soon. I haven't been sleeping that well lately.

Time New Roman is killing my eyes.

Time New Roman has always been my preferred fonts, especially for assignments, because it looks more formal and for the longest time, I did find that it appeals to my sense of aesthetics. But I can no longer bear proofreading my own work in that font. After four months of memo writing - it seems to be all I do these days - I finally switched to Arial. I guess part of the reason for switching has to do with the fact that I'm starting to get sick of reading the same font after four months of editing my own work, but I did find revising my own work easier in Arial.

I still think that Arial is ugly on OneNote though. But Time New Roman is actually equally ugly, if not more so, on OneNote. I suppose for now I'll stick with whatever font that Word 2007 set as default.

And I think all these memo writing just made me reread less of my other writing - like LJ, for instance. If I were doing assignments for school, it's more likely that I'll just send it off to an editor and not worry about it, even if I have to pay for that. But since the files I'm working on, like many other type of work, are confidential, I'll just have to suck it up and reread it over and over again.

I'm running out of different ways of saying placing someone on probation. :P

Do you know that corporation can be placed on probation? I, along with many others (which include lawyers), have been operating under the misconception that, since a corporation is not a natural person, it cannot be placed on probation. But apparently this can be done - nonwithstanding the new provision of the Canadian Criminal Code, judges at the provincial level has been doing this since the late 1990s. Though this area of the law is probably far from clear.

...dad somehow managed to delete my save files for this game I've been playing for the last couple days. There goes 30 hours of gameplay.

At least I haven't started playing the stupid HaKox game yet (can you guess what game this is yet?). I think I would have been really mad if I did start that stupid mini game, but as it stands I'm more or less indifferent because I hate the dubbed voices so much. I'm still trying to get a copy in Jap, and when I get it I'll play it from the beginning.

Well, I guess this is telling me that I should do some work and finish up my memo. Lately I've been getting a lot of research assignments. What I wanted is to give as short an answer as possible, but for some reason everything just blows up to some sort of full-fledged legal opinion.
