I made a new blog. I thought that I should begin with a new page since a new chapter in my life is beginning and I havenât really kept up with my five-year old blog. Initially, I wanted this to be about my pharmacy life and to jot down some advice/thoughts about the whole process but I think I will just post whatever comes to my mind.
I donât know if Iâll keep up with blogging. I mean, I didnât do so well on my other one and there were just too many âreblogsâ that I reposted that pretty much diluted my actual posts. It is always easier for someone else or some other picture to represent your moods or feelings.
Anyway, ever since I graduated about five months ago, I have been working full-time as a clerk for a community health center. At first, it was cool and new but now Iâm just so bored and tired of it. I was also getting my pharmacy school application together and studying for my PCAT exam while working 40 hours a week. Those responsibilities made me feel a bit burnt out but thanks to my efforts and perseverance, I got everything done on time and up to my expectations. Nonetheless, through this job, I realized that I do not want a desk job or a job that has barely any human interaction besides ones with my coworker who is a cubicle away. I didnât want to be stuck doing a job that doesnât teach me new skills or provides challenges for the next 10 years. However, I am grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with the Chinese language and community through this position. My Chinese sucked before I moved back home because I had no one to speak Chinese to in college. Now, I see Chinese-speaking coworkers everyday and I have no choice but to communicate with them in Chinese as much as possible. Itâs like I got my native tongue back.
