Californian summer day

thanks to you, I only have 4 and a half hours of work today. ehehehehehe
(and I also got paid today! or yesterday!)
거너 비 어 밷 걸~ 거너 비 어 밷밷 거얼~ 느흐흐흐흐

the weather's kinda like when I was in Brea/Cerrito in summer 2002 (?)
: it's really hot, the skies are clear and the sun is scorching but it's not so humid (well, it was outright DRY in Cerrito, but this is as dry as it can get in Korea during summer I guess).

can't believe my internship is *almost* over.
but at the same time, can't believe I have YET ANOTHER week of work!
come to think of it, today is the last day that I will see MRL as my boss, coz he will be on vacation during next week.

ohohoh I almost forgot why I logged in in the first place.

www.eldis.org

I am LOVING this website and its newsfeed.
They provide summaries of the latest papers regarding development.!!
It's like a friggin Cliffs Notes for development studies!!! Is that lovely or what?

I really think it might be a better idea to study in the UK instead of the US if one is really interested in studying development. The policy structure in the UK is just so more organized and they have more experience (hundreds of years of colonization! the Empire!). Whereas in the US it was more like an arm they used during the Cold War and now it's in pretty bad shape cause the system is so fragmented.

I've been doing virtually no work this week (my supervisor is on vacation this week) and NOW I feel kinda guilty. KINDA.
I should finish updating at least two more countries' ODA policy profiles before I quit. (sigh)
And I should really finish writing "the list of things I did for the six months of my intership" today. Or at least by early next week.

Lovely day! and the weekend is just around the corner!

+ since the trip to Eastern Europe has been canceled, I'm pondering whether I should go travelling somewhere nearby (Tokyo? Taiwan? Shanghai? --geez isn't there a place not affected by H1N1 around me?) or buy myself a netbook or a new notebook PC. But I'm not really keen on buying a notebook coz I will be needing another one in two years (for law school, hopefully..).

+ I should really look for a hasuk/studio if I'm not going to commute for the next two years.
