2012 in review

Another year has come and gone.

Another "end of the world" I was able to survive.



This year has been a year of renewals.

For one thing, my apartment got an internal makeover.

I have also switched my long-term career goals. Whereas I started this year with a goal of becoming a full-time teacher, I have switched my goal to eventually becoming a full-time librarian.

I am scheduled to start the master's program in Library and Information Science (LIS) at UH-Manoa starting January 2013. I'm just waiting to wait for the orientation program (few days from now) and my financial aid to be 100% approved and dispersed. Afterwards, I'm good to go!

I have also returned to Macy's as a holiday seasonal worker on 12/1/12. This time as a flex-sales worker at the Ala Moana store.  Being a flex worker means I pick and choose the leftover shifts available.

I was finally able to get new stuff on employee discount again. And yes, I did wear the Santa hat the entire 2 weeks leading up to Christmas :)
