there will be a day with no more fears

i like the song 'there will be a day' by jeremy camp. quite good indeed.

anywayyy. 2nd to last dayy!! :)
so i moved my final presentation to yesterday because i havent been feeling well lately &that's really the only thing i had left for the internship. but YAYYY i am done with the presentation. & it went really well :) ! and the vp didn't even ask many questions!!! so very surprising.

so now i have no more work. my coworker gave me some rates to check though, just to help me pass the time, i guess. &it benefits him too cause then he doesnt have to do it. haha. so now, i am just checking rates, reading articles online, &writing my final thank you letter to them. thank you letters are so awkward to write for me. because it's like balancing between informal & formal & letting them know i liked chilling with them but not an overload of sap. i found my thank you letter from last year, so i think i will basically just reword that. haha.

today, i am feeling much better. i don't know why i always get sick at the end of internships. maybe i'm nervous? maybe i'm just allergic to work? haha. iuno T_T i am excited to just sleep the next few weeks haha. next wednesday, my familiy &i are going to visit my cousin at uci. we're going to eat with him. &then my family is going to go to irvine spectrum to look at cute puppies. HEHEHHEHEHHE. :) &next weekend is church retreat! and then the following weekend, i am going back to berkeley! wow so fast.

aiite i am done. now to find some more things to amuse myself with......

4th to last day

i've got nothing to do this week! haha. i'm done prepping for my presentation. i will prep more tomorrow, since tomorrow is much closer to my presentation day (thursday) than today is. :)

today, for lunch, i went to eat with my coworker and manager from the department i was in last year. they are so nice! &i've realized that it is much easier talking to them about like. religion i guess. since they knew that i am a pk. so it came up easily. i really liked my department from last year. i think if i do come back to work for this company, i will hope to work in that department :) just because they are so nice! but at the same time, i'm not sure, because the current department i'm working in has many actuaries and so they could give me advice on actuary tests &such. but we shall see!

i've realized that i really like nice people ^__^

excuse me little mama if i may

yay! 20 minutes til the weekend :)

man God is so good to me! i am seriously so grateful for this internship this year.
i went to visit the department i interned at last year. they still remember me! :) aww. they are so nice. so is my manager for letting me go visit them. aww this company really is nice.
anyway, my manager from last year said that the vp from this year had called him earlier this year to ask about me. &of course my manager from last year said only good things (otherwise i wouldnt be an intern right now lol). but wow. they actually do call up old managers & such! hahaha &i got REALLY lucky, cause apparently the internship program wasn't suppose to go through this year. but i still got the internship. oh man, God is so good.
&hence, i shall not worry about my presentation next thursday. even though my coworkers say that the vp likes to ask a lot of detailed & complex questions during presentations, i shall trust that God will help me through it :) &i think my manager is really good at helping me prepare too.

one more week left!! :)

random fact: did you guys know that mariah carey's song 'obsessed' was written in response to one of eminem's songs: "bagpipes from baghdad"

10 minutes left til the weekend!

let the hourglass pass right into ashes

haha i googled the line above, &someone else has this line as their blog post title.

>1. presentation: yesterday i had two presentations! one was for my intern group project. i didn't have to speak for that one. &the second one was a presentation/review of my project with the department vp & directors. now this one i was REALLY scared about. two days before the presentation, i reviewed it with my manager, & he was telling me how, depending on the vp's mood, the vp sometimes totally rips apart the project & can be really blunt. &etc. also, i've read some of the emails the vp sends out to my team. &sometimes he can sound REALLY harsh when he is disappointed. &then the day before, i reviewed it with my mentor. & she told me how the director that she reports to is big on formatting, like having everything capitalized or excel boxes done correctly, etc. ohmygosh i was so scared! but thank God i did really well yesterday ( i think). haha. well the vp & the directors & my manager all said i did a good job. &the vp didn't even say anything bad at my documentation! he was pleased with the layout! ohmygosh, so surprising haha. &when i was speaking, they all listened intently &with really nice faces, not critical; made me feel like i was slightly important ^__^. so i was super happy yesterday :) haha. &the whole time during the presentation, i just kept thinking about exodus 4:11:

The LORD said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD?

sighh :) i am so grateful i did well. i seriously cannot speak in front of people, esp not in front of vps &directors. soo much grace from God.

>2. 1.5 weeks left: of my internship! ohman. so fast! so since the vp didn't have any criticisms on the layout/format of my documentation yesterday, i have basically no work left for these 1.5 weeks :) well they wanted me to do something on the ppo side but my manager said that i wouldn't have time. so now i am preparing for my final presentation to show my department what i've learned. thisss preparing is fun because i get to play with powerpoint & do fancy little things on it. ^__^ i guess with this presentation, i will have to show off a little bit more about what i've learned to impress them.

>3. fun stuff:
today: after work i'm going to our sunday school teacher's wife's place to hang out with her &some other lovely women :) it will be fun to hang out with the college/young adult girls.

saturday: two doctor appointments!: dentist/eye doctor to get new contacts. &then, if all goes well, BOILING CRABB :) but i will be missing bible study :( sadness.
