So Close
I am going to be done with school around March 19, 2010. I will be graduating with Chemistry B.S. It's going to feel weird, because I don't really know how life is without school. Hopefully, God's plan is for me to work for a couple of years and then maybe get a master degree or a PhD. Or maybe go home to Indonesia for a couple of years and help my parents with their business and also spend time with friends and family. It's the end for one road and I'm not sure what is in store for me in the future, but I will always depend on God and not worry so much. But there are a couple of more things to do before I graduate, I have to type 15 pages of senior essay, pass my inorganic, and physical chemistry class. I have to stop the PG&E and Comcast a week before I move. It's so scary and yet I can't wait.
I'm reading the book "Game plan for life" by Joe Gibbs. I learned that I should enjoy my life, instead of just waiting for the next best thing. I was waiting to graduate. I am waiting to start a family. I am waiting to get a job. I am waiting to see my family again. At the end I will be waiting to retire and then maybe waiting to have grandchildren. No more waiting for me, I got to enjoy the present. Life moves so fast.

Cooking
I definitely improved my cooking skills since I live in my apartment by myself. I feel like I am more in touch of what I am capable of creating in the kitchen. Well, most of the time my stomach left me with no choice, but to improvise a meal from whatever I have in the fridge. Foods from the freezer isles at Trader Joe's I admit also help me to whip up something quick after my classes.
An example of this is my Indonesia Fried Rice package. I am waiting for the rendang version. :)

Food
I have been trying to cook for myself and my brothers. Cooking is definitely not a natural talent for me. I had a couple of dishes, which received a thumbs down from my brothers. But at least my broccoli/cauliflower dish and my fried rice were eaten. I always encourage myself by thinking about cooking as a list of procedures:
1. Pick a good recipe.
2. Gather the ingredients.
3. Follow the recipe closely.
4. Taste.
Practice is also important in cooking. Maybe one day I could cook without a recipe.

Time
I can't believe a year has gone by. I felt like, it was last month I was in Indonesia. I am spending so much time for school. If I was married and have a baby for each year in college, I would have a total of six babies already. Aiii.

Two more finals
I am convincing myself that I can do good on the tests tomorrow. I think an important key in taking a test is to have confidence in your ability to solve problems. And also the believe that with God nothing is impossible. Of course another key is to do the actual studying, which I am not doing right now. Ahhhhh

After Bachelor Degree
In two weeks, it will be the end of my winter quarter. I am excited, because I could smell the end of my chemistry requirements. But the big question is, what will I do after I get my bachelor degree next year? Will I work? Will I go to Graduate school? Do I want to continue to Nursing School? or Physician assistant school? I am just confuse. But I am learning to put my trust in God and I know God is guiding me and helping me to make the right decisions. For now, I need to study for finals. :)
