Job update: Still no job.

Went to Boston this weekend. Good times. Drove up on Friday with Pat and Henry. It took FOREVER. Traffic is ass. Anyways, got in late, and stayed at the apartment of my buddy Susanna Kim. It's always nice to hang out with old friends, friends who bring out the goofy in you. Saturday we went to the Boston Public Garden, Boston Commons, Fanueil Hall, the Harbor, Fenway Park, Revere Beach, and then ate steak at Bugaboo. Good times. We just bummed around Sunday morning, ate some lunch, and then headed home. But seriously, I am never going on a road trip with where there's two boys and one girl ever again. Tooooo much testosterone.

Another thing that happened to me this weekend is that I finally jumped on that bandwagon called Friendster. But I gotta say-- I really don't understand the purpose of it at all. And I also don't have a funny picture of myself. But I was told that I should check it out, and I did. So let's see how many friends I have, shall we?

I have a huge craving for Chipotle. Yummmm. Gonna get me some for dinner.

Yo, tonight is the American Idol concert at the MCI center!!!! Or is it tomorrow? Anyways, I really want to see it! I love Clay! I looooooove Clay. That voice!! How bout everyone contribute to the hannahyuhasnomoneybutwantstoseeanexpensiveconcert fund? Pleaaaase?

It's me! It's me! I've had a fun weekend/week so far. Much to tell.

Job update: Still no job.

So on Friday I hung out with none other than crazycoolJessChung. Jealous? You should be! She's in DC changing the world, and I totally admire her. Plus, she's still reaaaally funny. We ate, shopped, watched a horrible movie (my lips are sealed....) and ate some more. Good times.

Saturday, I sat by the pool and read, and just hung out. It was quite relaxing. But at around 10 PM, Joy and I decided, hey, we're 22, on our own, living in D.C., it's Saturday night, we should go out. So we headed to a bar in Dupont Circle. I'll spare you the gory details, but let's just say that next time I go to a bar, I'm not taking the claustrophic, bumpy, makes-me-motion-sick Metro home ever again. Oh well. It was an expeeeerience.

Went to Covenent Life Church on Sunday, this mega-church in Gaithersburg. It was pretty good- kind of reminded me of Willow Creek. This is actually the church that Joshua Harris is a pastor at. He didn't give the sermon, but he did give some announcements. He is a very short, small man.

Yesterday, I hung out with Demelza in the evening. We ate dinner, then watched Legally Blonde 2. It was baaaaad. Very baaaad. Much worse than the first one. And her whole sorority thing- crazy. What the....? If my sorority ever made me learn something where you had to say "Bug-a-loo" and bump hips with someone, I would have dropped out. The little mention of Kappa though-- very funny. Hahhah. Anyways, I dig Reese WItherspoon, but I didn't really dig this movie. But besides the movie, last night was also maaad drama. I got to the metro around 11:45, sat down, and waited. And waited. Turns out, I had just missed the last train. Ok, if I had just missed the last train, why on earth would they let me into the station? Dumb. So I had to call Demelza, she had to come pick me up, and then she drove me home. Well, so, not so much drama, but it did suck a lot. Stupid metro.

I just want to take this time to give out some birthday props. It may not be her birthday till tomorrow, but who knows if I'll blog tomorrow. Therefore.... happy birthday to my awesome unni Jessica Jaemi Ko!!!!!! WOOOOO!!! Jess is a former roommate, a very good friend, and a hah-ppy bahstahd. Hahahha. We're also often mistaken for sisters. One time even twins. I love Jess Ko. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Hey! My Giants are kicking ass!

My goal is to be employed by Sept 1. Five weeks and counting.

Hellooo!! Yes, twice in one week! It's a miracle!! What's prompted this? No idea. but I guess I should take advantage of this desire to blog while it lasts.

Yo. Less than a month till Alan and Precious' wedding. Craaaazy. Three months till Marcus gets married. Craaaazy. I'm really excited about Prec and Alan's... it's gonna be a mad NMQ reunion. We're all gonna be there. And it's gonna be AWESOME.

Job update: Still no job.

So I've been thinking a lot about my job situation. At this point, I just want a job. Bank of Mom and Dad will eventually not be so solvent any more. A part of me knows that I shouldn't stress about this-- I graduated from college three and a half weeks ago, finding a job takes time, blah blah blah. But another part of me is FREAKIN' OUT. Cause what if I never find a job? I don't want to work at the gap!!! I hate retail!!! I don't even like shopping that much, what would make me like selling and spending all that time in a mall?? Ok. Ranting must stop.
But in terms of what kind job I want, that's a little fuzzy right now too. I've always known I wanted to work for the governent or a non-profit-- I just don't think the corporate world is for me. And since I was poli. sci, that made sense. And since my favorite classes in college were the ones about law, and the ones about politics, I thought it might be good to see if I liked those subjects in practice as well as theory. So, I've been applying to a lot of paralegal/legal assistant/gov't analyst type of positions. I know I don't have a lot of experience, but hey, I figure I'm a pretty competent person. But I've come to the point where I'll do anything. But do I really want to be an office bitch? Cause I know I can do that, but do I want to? And I know your first job isn't always ideal, but I'm only gonna be out here a couple years, and shouldn't I be doing something that I'll enjoy? Sigh. So that's whats been on my mind in terms of my job search lately. But really though- all I want to do is make my parents proud. Sigh. Oh well. At least Cupid's on tonight. : )

I'm wondering who still reads this.... I mean, I know of at least two people who do, but I wonder if anyone else does. I dont' really care though... I like to write about myself! I guess it's the narcissist in me. But I gues I should give a shout out to two people who I know read this... Phil and Jess Chung-- this blog's for you!!! Everyone else-- wow! you're reading this!!

Yo. Hanging out at GWU. Checking the email, all that good stuff.

Job update: Still no job.

Yesterday was my birthday. Yes, HannahYu is 22. Craaaaazy. It was a very very fun day. Me, Pat, Joy and Henry went to church, then we went to the zoo (and saw the cutest panda bears ever!!). After that, they took me to Benihana's in Georgetown, where we met up with Steve and Wylie, and I ate chicken and shrimp hibachi. It was very delicious. We then headed to ESPNZone and played fun games, and to top it off we went to Cosi's and made smores!! My friends are awesome! Special thanks to roommate JoyPark, who kicks ass and made my birthday super wonderful. Also thanks to all those who called me to wish me birthday greetings. Made me feel very special. Thank you!!

Yesterday, Phil told me the funniest story about mom and dad. I was on the floor, laughing hysterically. It's actually probably not that funny to normal people, but to me and Phil and Sarah-- oh man. Freakin' hilarious. Mommy's mad at Daddy.... ahhhahh!!!Thanks, Phil. That story made my day.

Here I am! Back at GWU library.... satisfying my craving for news and email. Watching the news just doesn't do it for me. I like to read the news, to get all the details. Plus, it's hard to see how my Giants are doing... I just don't have the patience to sit through all of Sportscenter.

Enough about that. Fun weekend! WOO! Tina, Eun, Els, Al, Kie, Steve and some other folk and me all headed to the Mall for Fourth of July fun. We sat in front of the Washington Monument, facing the Lincoln Memorial. We were so close to the fireworks, the ashes started raining down on us. Except for one minor ash in the eye injury, all went well. It was FREAKIN' hot, but I think everyone survived and got to see an awesome fireworks show. Hooray for D.C.!

Saturday I did some sightseeing with Tina and Els, and then joined everyone for a BBQ at Steve's place. Good times. Good food. Watched Trading Spaces, got to enjoy Wylie's rendition of Bring it On cheers, laughed and reminisced. I don't think I'll be seeing some of those folks for a while, so it was nice to enjoy their company.

Plans for the week: keep job searching! I will not give up hope! While there is still breath in me, I will never stop searching for gainful employment!!

Dude. I really want to watch Legally Blonde 2. Who's with me?

Well, here I am! It's been about two weeks since I last posted... but I have a very good excuse! No internet at the apartment. I am currently sitting in the George Washington University computer lab, catching up on the news and on email. And updating my blog : ) Oh, and looking for jobs.

So, lots of things have happened since I last blogged... mainly, I moved!! I am currently in Washington, D.C., searching for gainful employment and trying to avoid the humidity. I think I'm finally starting to feel a little more settled. The past two weeks have been nuts... senior week was crazy, everything's a big blur, I lost so much crap in the move, don't know where anything is, have a feeling I need to call a bunch of people, but I can't remember who... it's been driving me nuts. But I think I'm starting to get more organized and stuff. Yay! Now, if only I had a job. Ah well. I contacted a temp agency, so hopefully I'll at least start temping soon to earn some cash. Right now, I'm withdrawing from the Bank of Mom and Dad.

I'm currently living in Crystal City, VA with Joy... about ten/fifteen minutes outside the city... if you'd like to contact me, our address is
1515 Jefferson Davis Hwy #101
Arlington, VA 22202
my cell is the same, apt. number is 7034151088. Yay!

So you might be wondering what I've been doing the past couple weeks. Let you give you a little capsul summary:
sleep
eat
bad attempts at cooking
watch tv
go to gw and look for jobs
hang out with pat
walk around

that's about it.

It's fourth of July weekend! Yay! I'm very excited. Al and Kie are visiting Steve, and Elsa, Eunice and Tina are also coming into town. It's a big reunion! I didn't even know people were coming till this week... it's kind of impromptu, but very welcome. Hooray for good friends!

So I know this post has been kinda schizo, but I'll try to focus and be witty and charming next time. Until then... I miss my friends!!! Call me!!
