finally settled down…

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

3:15am @Ryan’s house. after the ultra-busy production month of May, and the excitement month of June, finally i settled down in long island, new york, with Ryan.

today is really the first day that i am not doing anything, not going anywhere, not worrying about doing nothing and not going nowhere. today was simply relax. i can finally have a room that i can stay more than 3 nights. just a quick recap to remind myself where i slept this month:

June

1-3 my room, obviously, still in school

4-6 yusi’s room, had to move out before any other seniors did

7-8 didn’t sleep, working in scoville lab, got some sleep during commencement

9 Grand Marais MN, gorgeous place, family trip

10, Duluth MN, crash in Holiday Inn for half price since we only stay there for 3 hours before driving to the airport.

11-12 Petra’s house MN, back to Northfield, thanks to Petra’s hospitality

13-14 Archer House MN, had to try the famous historical Northfield hotel

15 Kevin’s room MN, crash in before heading to Iowa. thanks Kevin

16-17 Seth’s house IA, the major attraction and the highlight is Seth’s farm. thanks Seth

18-19 Chase’s house IA, went to living history farm and Iowa PBS. thanks Chase

20-21 Kevin’s room again MN, need a break. need to pack before leaving Carleton for the summer.

22-23 Dave’s room IL, a stop to see an old friend and get ready before the last drive

24- Ryan’s house NY,

here i am. finally don’t have to move for another 2 weeks.

i am relax now. finally have time time for digesting and reflecting, disconnecting and reconnecting.

ps. Did all the driving myself. at least 3500 miles this month. thanks niaw who gave me 41mpg at peak and save me tons of money. he worked hard.

My first surgery

Friday, June 15th, 2007

Yes my first surgery.
My first major surgery.

This is a serious one. What doctor said is a sebaceous cyst. I had one behind my ear for more than a year, one on my forehand which is about half of the size of a pingpong ball for more than 3 moths, and one on my cheek for 2 months. They really came out from nowhere although they are not the first cysts i have. just these are ridiculously big and one happens to be on my forehead. Doctor said it is a genetic disease which nothing can cure beside removing it. But he suggested me to see a dermatologist.

so now i have 2 noticeable scars on my face. they are not the prettiest things I want to get, but at least i can lie about that they are from my official yakuza training. sigh~ hope the stitches hold and the wound heal fast.

I got the job!

Monday, June 4th, 2007

I am proudly announce (finally) that Wain Yee is

the Educational Associate of Cinema and Media Studies

for the next academic year 2007 - 2008.

i understand the whole world is expecting me to take that position even before i apply. but it is still exciting to finally receive that confirmation from my boss, whom I have work for for the past 4 years. So yea~! very soon I won’t be a Carleton student but a staff! and Carleton is going to continue paying me to go to school + giving me millions of production equipment + giving me a studio! YEAH~~
(^o^)v This is simply my dream job.
