Busy Busy

it's been a while since I last posted. i don't know what happens and how time passes so quickly except that i seem to just get caught up in...life. it makes me sad. there are a list of people that i would love to have dinner with and friends i need to call and family i want to visit. things i want to do, restaurants i want to try and rooms i need to clean.

can't wait til life stabilizes a bit. but then again, i feel like i've been waiting for that for a long time coming. ah well, talk to me again in april. maybe things will be less crazy and i will be more zen. i am literally traveling every weekend from now til mid april and i haven't gotten more than 6 hours of sleep in a really long time (and you might ask why i'm writing blog submissions at 2 in the morning - please keep reading).

my boyfriend said if i truly wanted to be less busy, i would not have gone to business school, taken the type of job that requires real responsibilities, made more friends or chosen to join boards, volunteer, etc. and that if that was truly in my nature, i wouldn't be the person i am. perhaps he's right. but i'm still struggling to find the right balance. this is not sustainable. seriously.

on another note, had an awesome chinese new year weekend. my cousins and i cooked a little traditional feast for my aunts and uncles - first time ever.

i'm also leaving in two days to visit my boyfriend in south africa, for about 9 days. he's studying abroad there for three months. i'm so excited to see him after two months, excited that i'm taking such a long time off work after such a busy season (tho that in and of itself makes me stressed), and that i'm going to get to explore cape town!

finally, i have long procrastinated on the leave the name thing, so here are my answers folks. :)
