it's august, right?
freaking a, it's 96 degrees out here. i'm dying. i ended up hiding out inside a starbucks.
water is a must. water... water... water...
i've been training the last couple of days. i miss hanging out at starbucks on the weekdays. haven't done so in a long time.
at my new gig, all they use are macs, which i don't particularly like. but i suppose i'll have to get used to using an apple rather than a pc.
the cool thing is that i'll be working with a MRI machine at ucla. there are all these safety regulations that you need to know and be tested on before you can actually use the machines. last friday, some fucking idiot (without certification) decided to bring in a pair of metallic scissors into the room with the MRI machine. of course, the scissors comes flying out of his hands and shatters into a million piece when it hit the machine.
luckily, the subject was unharm or else the whole operation would have been shut down. which means i would be out of a potential job. fucking dumbass. having said that, i have a feeling that i'll be absentminded someday and bring in something metallic. let's hope not.
i've been trying to find some stuff on danny chan online, but so far have been unsuccessful.
saw jonathan, my hk friend, on wed-nesday. we met up with his girlfriend, melinda, at the grove and had lunch. he gave me some good info on going back to work in hk at some of the international schools. we'll see how well the pay is and how well they subsidize for housing/flights back to la.
my left big toe hurts for some reason. everytime i stretch it upwards, i get this sharp, annoying pain.
i have a feeling that i won't be able to graduate until the end of next fall. luckily, if everything works well, i will still have this job until then. of course, i need to get a student affairs job on the side so i can actually get some experience in my field.
earlier in the week, i got a hold of my advisor and he suggested that if i was interested in working in a foreign country, i should NOT take the international education course. his reasoning was that since i want to work outside the country, it's better to be familiar with the american higher education system rather than that of foreign countries. that way, i can bring something new, fresh to the proverbial table.
so now i'm taking a course on community colleges, which looks to be pretty interesting. half of the students in that class are from the Ed.D. program and the other half are from my program. i think with the doctoral students, some of whom are currently working in community colleges, the discussions in class will be highly enlightening.
the master's seminar class hasn't met yet. but i already know that there are going to be five books involved. it's feels like there's going to be a good bit of reading involved. yay!
