realization

ive been running many errands these 2 weeks. pretty proud of myself.

- last thurs: body checkup
- last fri: dentist
- this mon: gynae checkup. did my first pap-smear. ouch, it hurts!
- today wed: braced myself and stepped into DMV.

coincidentally, i happened to catch an episode of Family Guy last sunday and they showed a scene in DMV, whereby peter's grand-uncle was arguing with the staff at DMV and yes, she was a black, er i meant african american (aa). oh well, its pretty much a de javu feeling when i stepped in today. not that im a white, but the whole place is literally run by aas. i dont understand why they dont staff more people at the written test counter. they have only 1 lady marking scripts of 20 people for each round. oh well, i passed so its a huge relief.

the whole point of this entry is that i have never felt that im so much on my own, till im here. i plan my own stuff, what i want to do, how i want to take care of myself, what i want to eat for dinner, when i want to do my groceries, when i want to do my laundry, if i want to go to the park or the gym. the list can go on. its daunting and yet amazing that im still surviving. all these are pretty mundane stuff, nothing serious. but this is living.
