    school is officially....over!!

    after failing my final this afternoon at 4pm, summer vacation is officially here! 
    im not sure if im happy to greet it, or a bit sad that next year will be my last year. 

    Yesterday, I attended Angelini's graduation in Madison Square Garden, packed with family and friends, all with proud looks on their faces saying "my son/daughter/friend" is a graduate from Tisch...and I was one of them :)
     
    Congratulations to Angelina and Chien-Chien!!  Master's from NYU!!!
     
    Listening to the chair of departments, the valedictorian, the president of the program, pass words to the graduating class of 2006, send the warmest wishes from the bottom of their warm loving hearts...family reunions after the ceremony...everything just seems perfect.
    i could almost jump a year ahead and see myself in that position.  but im not ready...
     
    what am i going to do with my life?
     
    gosh!  i cannot think about this anymore  but what's an alternative of ploughing ideas through in my head and finding an answer when there is no right or wrong answer or maybe even an 'answer' for me to 'find'...
     
    perhaps i'm too greedy.  want this, want that, want everything I can possibly get my hands on...try this try that...maybe I should just stick to one thing and move on. not think about other things...
     
    i always pack myself with full schedules, running from places to places without a bit of time in between to sit down and think.  maybe is because i'm afraid to have that time...
    now that summer is here and currently, i'm 'planless'...
     
    priorities in our lives...family, passion, health, money, friends, places to live in, work, education,..."which one gets the right of way?"

    Eueu, you have a lot to offer, so talented in many ways. You are still young, and has lots of time to experiment, and wonder. Recently, I have been reading Yao S/B's blog about his soul searching journey. In a way, it's quite assuring to know successful people like him is still searching....... May you have a great hike, and may you smell the flower along the path. Let this be an encouragement for you and myself! You will always have our support!

    Eu-Eu,
     
        It's normal to feel ambiguous. I was very clueless in college as well. You are in control of facing the unknowns with 1) anxiety, or 2) curiosity, or, etc....
     
        one way to deal with your summer.
     
    1) drink bubble tea, read comic
    2) learn something new
    3) hang out with friend,
    4) internship.
    5) repeat from 1

     Wang Wei, a poet who lived during the waning days of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem...
    One day, during harvest time, Wang decided to take trip. He passed through a village filled with celebration. Drank their wine, and decide to wander to another village. But he got lost. So he wandered up a mountain, until finally, he reached the end of his strenth, so he sat down, with no water in sight.
    It is at this moment that he looked up, and saw clouds, giant clouds in the form of most fantastic shapes, coming up throught the valley.

    There are two types of hikers, Eu Eu. The first kind sets his or her eyes, bend his mind on the summit or finish line. He wastes no time in getting to his destination and often, when he did get to the end point , he couldnt remember anything that took place during the climb.

    Another hiker doesn't have a well-defined goal. He may have saw a mountain, thinking it is green, inviting, and wanted wear, and decides to take a look, just to see what's in there. He probably won't get very far, he'll probably turn back halfway through, but you can bet that he's enjoying himself every step of the way.

    Of course we have priorities in life; of course we should set goals for ourselves to achieve, but the goal is not a end to itself. Believe in youself and the principles which you live by. All other things, just let it come and deal with it as best as you can. Always remember to have fun. You have so many extraodinary talents. Don't look to your future with foreboding, look forward to it with big round smile!

    Good night, and sweet dreams!

    aiya, just slow down, Eueu, you are so young, and life is full of surprises. You can try to make the best plan possible, but sometimes your circumstances change out of your expectation. Do the best you can at this momment, and make the best out of any situation. You will be fine... I was even more clueless when I was entering my senior year. All I wanted to do after college was to go back to Taiwan, and look at me now.... enjoy the ride, and taste the flavor of life.
    we all love you, and you know that, right??
