Tarot

I've always wanted to go to someone who could read my palm or cards and tell my future. I actually have a friend who used to do Tarot readings for me and it was pretty amazing how accurate she got me in pretty much all the times that she read my cards - especially during our last reading. I've always been curious as to what will happen to me in the future. Where will I be working? Where will I be living? Will I be traveling? Will I have a boyfriend or a husband? Will I have kids?

Lately, I've been feeling more anxious to know what is going to come up for me. I feel like a big event has happened to me in the last 2 weeks or so and I want to know what it is going to happen on that front - BADLY. Plus, I'm also leaving home for the last time on the 20th to pursue my MA and after that who knows where I'll end up and that scares the living daylights out of me! Especially knowing that it's basically up to me to survive (without my parent's support I mean).

I think I'd want to know those things. Pretty badly. Particularly at this point in time. Then again, it's always a scary thought having your future read out to you especially when you don't know how you're going to get there. If it turns out bad then you'd try everything to change it (wouldn't you?) but that could just end up even worse for you. Or if it turns out good, you'd try everything your power to make it go that way but that could also lead you to making things fall towards the worse end.

Oh life, so complicated even in hypothetical situations!

Yep, definitely going to go back to school. I'll hopefully be getting a Masters degree in Development or International Social Development.

Since I've started working I'm actually more excited than ever to get back to school. That makes me sound like a real nerd, but I think I've had enough of my time here in Cambodia. I'm really ready to get back to having that school routine and proving to myself that I don't suck in school and that I can get good grades and do really well. I'm ready to make up for the 'mistakes' that I made during my undergraduate years and really making a difference in my studies for both myself and my parents.

Hopefully I'll be going back this year. I never thought I'd say it but I'm REALLY looking forward to going back to school now!

My DVD Collection

My most recent shopping splurge was probably today and funnily enough it was at the supermarket -___-''

I am one of those people who LOVE to go grocery shopping and in fact I tend to go a little wild sometimes! I find so many amazing foods at the supermarket - the majority of which are JUNK - and I always end up buying at least half of the new things that I see. It's pretty bad especially since I know I shouldn't be eating these things and they're not very practical at all (but then again when you go on a spree/splurge most of the things you buy aren't really practical or necessary).

Today I bought more cereal, more bread, more Pringles/chips, more peanut butter, more potatoes, more cream and a lot more 2-minute instant noodles. I have all of these things at home but I decided that why not go all out 'just in case' I run out of these goodies when Khmer New Year rolls around and all the shops close! That would be particularly bad. So yeah, because of this 'forward thinking' (yes, I will call it that) I ended up buying much more than I needed and even though I cut out some things before heading to the check-out line I still ended up spending $52.00 on groceries and that's A LOT for a few days' worth of goodies in Cambodia (don't know about anywhere else).

Oh, and then there are the multiple DVDs that I bought... Stocking up for the days alone at home. Yep, that's right, I'm stocking up! Sigh. Up it goes onto the bookshelves full of the DVDs I already have. Fantastico!
