There Goes Another Year

It's December 31st and it's less than an hour away from the start of a new year, according to Pacific Standard Time.  I felt that this year was decent for me.  I got accepted into an accounting masters program and surprisingly I also got accepted into a computer science masters program despite not having any programming experience.  It shows that it can be done.  I'll be reapplying to the computer science program again next year.

Aside from accomplishing academic and professional goals, I progressed a small bit on the social side.  I'm more talkative with my coworkers in my part time job and I'm not afraid of assisting people who need help.  Though I'm afraid it's because it is in a professional setting rather than a social setting that's making me more outgoing.  Nonetheless, it's some progress.  Still have to be more outgoing though.  Hopefully, I'll accomplish more next year professionally and socially.  

On another note, some company called GFK retail and technology keeps bugging through my Bloomberg account about a job as a research analyst.  Don't know if I should bother responding.  The last time some company bugged me was AIG and they immediately broke contact once they saw my resume.  Heh.

To anyone reading this, happy new year.

  1. Happy new year! Also - happy Chinese new year in advance. Congratulations on your achievements. I think that conversing with your coworkers in a professional setting is a good start - a lot of shyer people tend to be more comfortable when speaking about more substantial things than small talk.

    As for the inquiry about research analyst, respond if you're interested. o_O

    1. Thanks! Happy New Year to you too! Unfortunately the analyst position is located in southern California and I don't intend to go back anytime soon. I made a big mistake listing the location in my profile as San Diego rather than somewhere around the Bay Area.

    2. Darn! Well, if you ever stop by down in SD, you, me, and my INTP husband should hang out. Add me on Google+ or FB.
