Understanding More of What I Want

There's this one question that I couldn't seem to answer. What do I want to do in the future? Truthfully, I really don't know. And, I still don't know the answer to that question.

However, I am realizing more of what I like and don't like. While I was still a senior, I considered a career in sales. But, now that I think of it, I'm not so sure. I don't want my career to be focused on selling things to people. I want to do more than that. I want to be able to do some research on the side or more research. As of now, state government jobs seem very appealing to me. So, I decided to do another internship that would allow me to intern in state government, while being able to learn more about the legislative process. Hopefully, I get a response back soon from one of them although I only applied to them recently. I think my goal for now is to intern for about 3 months. Then, apply and hopefully be able to get a position with the state afterwards.

I also realized that taking on a internship that relates to legislative affairs would probably require about 10+ hours a week. So, I hope to intern for about 3 days a week. On one of those days, I could also show up to my APSEA internship meeting afterwards. I'm also thinking of accepting another internship related to food and health and that is also about 4-10 days a week and is mostly in the afternoon. I think its best for me to plan ahead and try to take on more experience and be productive; and, it will make me more competitive later. Plus, there's not rush for me now and I feel like there's still a lot out there for me to do.

California State Fair + Hot Chelle Rae

On Tuesday, I went to the State Fair. I went during the evening though. I couldn't stay in the sunlight for too long. Me and my family decided to go on Tuesday because Hot Chelle Rae was coming. Also, people 12 or under get in for free and rides are a dollar.

When I got there, my sister bought the funnel cake. And, my other sister got cotton candy. I wasn't really in the mood for fair food, but if I was there would definitely be a lot of food I want to try.

I think I only went on the bumper cars ride. I wasn't really interested in any of the rides.

Mark S. Allen from Good Day Sacramento showed up before the concert started. I think he's great that he shows up to some public events. Hot Chelle Rae performed at 8pm at the Golden 1 Stage. The front left and middle section was saved for those who purchased tickets. However, The front right and back seating areas were saved with those who came in and had a pink wristlet on them. I got one and at first I was seated in the middle, but as the concert went on people left and I eventually ended up getting closer. Towards the end, the band left and I just knew they were going to have an encore and stayed. However, others left and the Hot Chelle Rae came back on stage and played one last song, "Tonight, Tonight".

Another view of the concert as it got darker. I thought that they performed beautifully. I was surprised that they played Teenage Dream, but they did a pretty good job. They played all the songs that I wanted to hear from them and plus some more.

Persistent, but progressing

It's been about 10 days since I haven't updated this blog. It seems like eternity! I usually try to blog within a week. Blogging hasn't been the only thing I haven't updated lately, I also been spending less time on social media sites.

Sadly, I haven't heard back from any jobs yet, but that just means I'm going to be more aggressive. I'm going to call some places next week. On the other hand, I landed myself an internship with Asian Pacific State Employees Association (APSEA) as an Event Planner Intern, but I'm going to help out with other tasks as well. The internship is about 4-6 hours a week and only require me to attend meetings, so I have a lot of time left on my hands. With the time I have left, I spend it working at the restaurant. I don't see myself working at the restaurant in the future although it's nice to get some extra cash every once in a while.

I've also had the opportunity to meet with some high school friends the past couple of weeks. It was nice hanging out with them, but it seems that they haven't changed much. I'm also going to see more on the potluck this upcoming Friday.

I haven't watched a movie in theaters for about 2 weeks and that also feels like eternity. I want to watch the Amazing Spider Man, Dark Knight Rises, Brave, and Ted.

On another note, I got surgery the other day. I feel kind of weird with it, especially since it is in my face in such a visible area.
