The New Year (many days late)

It certainly has been a long time since I last posted, mainly because I was working very hard, day in and day out, to edit and re-edit my personal statement, but alas, I am DONE! I caught up on the tad bit of vegging that I have been looking forward to for so long, so here I am, finally gathering myself to reflect a bit upon the year 2012 - but really, I probably left out a lot considering I can barely remember what happened a week ago.

edit // Sorry there is no reflection actually. Did quite a lousy job with this post aside from "informing", but I don't have the energy or time or mood to further this way overdue post. The reflection will just have to come later.

Milestones accomplished and memorable things:
and I'll start with ones I have no photos to accompany with first. 

- Submitted my MSW application for my only school of choice
- Learned that my writing is actually much better than what I had known it for my entire life
- Improved my Chinese by leaps and bounds, thanks to work 
- Retained my Espanol Rosetta Stone license with the monthly hour minimum requirement
- Met one of the most inspirational and down-to-earth management-level people ever - A.R.
 - Food Fair craziness

Now for some photos of other (non-exclusive) memorable events
