Work:
Wow....i was soo lucky to get this job...i worked for this really cool guy in the lab one floor up from my mom. its in this really cool new research building across from Children's Hospital and its such a weird-in-a-good-way feeling to walk down the street with my ID around my neck with all these other scientists in labcoats and doctors and surgeons in scrubs with IDs too and contracting the starbucks addiction and showing the security guards ID to pass and the novelty has yet to wear off....haha....and thats not even the best part! i get to do all this cool lab work with these other student interns from Harvard (a bit intimidating at first but they're all really awesome people) and work with DNA and mice and cells and use expensive lab equipment and wow! its hard work and very tiring but so worth it! and im getting paid....which is such a nice unexpected bonus...getting my first paycheck? wicked cool!! and all the people in this boston area are just so nice and congenial...like the security guards and janitors and secretaries and just everybody! =) sigh....what an amazing experience....
[pics later]

NECYSC:
what an experience too! tons of fun spending time with all these wonderful people, many that i only see once a year...and then having the awesomest group ever!! BESTEST counselor ("JODAN!!!") and BESTEST fellow CIT (FREDDD!!!!) and the BESTEST kidsss!!! i had the best kids ever! it was my first time spending so much time with kids, i mean constant attention and being with them all the time and having so much funn with them all!!...and its just such a nice environment...camp was so awesome..especially for the campers i think...and its so rewarding to know that the amazing camp experiences that i had as kid can be passed on!! partially by me and all my friends! sigh...I am definitely sending my kids to NECYSC....haha...I LOVE ALL OF YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!

grace, stephanie, lynn, and chris!!!!!!!!!!!

Hidden Valley Camp: wow...it went by so fast...lol....it was so great to spend some outdoor quality time with friends!! victoria, michelle, nicole, and richard....ok..fine...and joyce.....lolol....it was so much fun all lying in that huge dance studio under our blankets or cracking sunflower seeds for 2 hours or trying to tune auntie out in the morning or even wrapping string for class tomorrow which we never used....haha.....and then more kids!!! wow...i never used to like kids this much...haha....it was hard, yes...but teaching all those classes (arts and crafts, cooking, and yo-yo) to the kids is very self-satisfying, especially when you know that you're helping these adopted children learn about their culture and to love and embrace their heritage. and the funny thing is...i think the part that made me feel the best was teaching the caucasian parents (mahjong, music demonstration)...because they truly  enjoyed it and learned from it...and told us how much they've learned and enjoyed......and it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside....lolol.... =)

alright...i think that sums it up pretty much....and wowww.....this is officially my LONGEST POST EVER!!!! haha...i hope it doesnt take too long to load or anything....lol

lots more exciting stuff coming up definitely.....but for now...byebye!!!

[edit: haha...i came back and saw that nancy figured out how to post my pics on her site...so i put up a few here too! lol! sigh....that was a good time, prom nostalgia anyone?? =D anyways....joyce is home!!!!!!! and we're going to the finals!!! and our ensemble concert is coming up!!!! and its almost SUMMER!!!!!!!! and i'll post a real post some other time!!! *mwah!*]
