Reality Check

Last week I got to take a break from everything. I got an opportunity to put all my worries aside and really live life. And it was truly wonderful.

I am thankful for...
...my dad for booking these plane tickets for me with his mileage
...chenchen for driving me everywhere and letting me crash his place
...v&chen for listening and giving me the reality check that i needed
...v&y for letting me hang with them everyday even though i'm sure they wanted to have some alone time together
...wq for listening and letting us crash her place

It's been so long since I could simply just sit down and talk to someone about what's on my mind and feel comfortable doing it. It has helped me sort some things out and truly realize just how miserable I was. I am now pretty set on leaving Berkeley when the school year ends. Which is a bit unfortunate since I would love to continue working with Oakland schools.

I am grateful for being able to have this break. Even though the weather in the East Coast is horrible compared to the West Coast, I didn't want to leave. If I could stay in the East Coast, I would even though I do not like the weather. Because the company is what really matters. Just thinking about leaving made me want to cry.

But I am back in Berkeley now. I have awaken from my dream and am back in the real world. Time to face those problems again and stay strong. I will prevail. Because I almost always do. Just like how I made it through the very long CSET exam thinking I had failed at least one section. Turns out I didn't. Passed all three subtests. It was a nice welcome back gift from California. So there is my proof that I can make it through another three weeks before I close my eyes to another dream...in the faraway land of Taiwan.
