Julie, Memories, Future Objectives

I have a freakishly good memory, so good that I can remember extremely minute things that happened years ago.  Some people think it's a gift, others think it's freaky, I think it's a curse.  Thinking about Julie again has caused so many memories to come flooding back.  I remember when my roommates and I were invited over to her dorm by her roommates.  I was sitting on an ottoman at the time and as I looked to my left, I saw her with her feet on the table, tapping away on her sliding phone.  She was wearing blue jeans with a purple jacket at that time.  When I looked away, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that she turned to look at me.  Another memory was when she knocked on my dorm's door and I went to open it.  I stood there with my mouth open like an idiot and she rolled her eyes and walked past me.  I still remember when she complained about how her roommate Ashley was bothering her by constantly talking so I bought her sound proof ear muffs and gave it to her when she came to see me.  Of course she just tossed it aside at the time, not understanding why I bought it.  (That's $25 I'll never see again.)  Memories like these is why having a fantastic memory is a curse.  Forced to always remember when everyone has forgotten.  Events that should have faded away will always stay not matter how much I try to forget.  All the joys and sadness always there.

In time these memories will fade into the background again, I have to look towards the future in the mean time.  Future objectives are the following:

• Move out of parents' house
• Finish masters degree either in accounting or computer science.
• Some university in China called the Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance has been pestering me to apply so I might actually do so.
• Buy house
• Start career.  Calculated probability of being offered a full time career job at large tech company is low.  Have to start preparing to find new job 11 months from now.

I accomplished most of the goals I set for myself when I was at UCSD even though I thought my chances at succeeding were low.  Hopefully I'll accomplish the objectives above.
