First Job - Express

Just las week I got officially hired Express. Finally, I have a job that I was waiting for so long! As a new associate, I could get 50% of no more than $300 of my first purchase, which was pretty awesome. Today I decided to use this awesome discount and buy myself some shirts. :)

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Dream
by Priscilla Ahn

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

I was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me. 
I played pretend between the trees, and fed my houseguests bark and leaves, and laughed in my pretty bed of green. 

I had a dream 
That I could fly from the highest swing. 
I had a dream. 

Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park, I asked God who I’m supposed to be. 
The stars smiled down on me, God answered in silent reverie. I said a prayer and fell asleep. 

I had a dream 
That I could fly from the highest tree. 
I had a dream. 

Now I’m old and feeling grey. I don’t know what’s left to say about this life I’m willing to leave. 
I lived it full and I lived it well, there’s many tales I’ve lived to tell. I’m ready now, I’m ready now, I’m ready now to fly from the highest wing.

My Awesome Dock

Recently I decided that I was tired of my generic Mac icons, so I decided to change them. To do that I had to download CandyBar program which made it a lot easier to change icons. Can you guess which application is which? :)

Places I Wish I Could Go This Summer

I had so many plans for this summer, but they all got ruined because of Immigration Services. At first, my plans were to visit my family in Russia, then go to England to take some classes then have some fun in Europe, like France. Then I had to change them because I only could pick one place… so I picked Russia since I haven’t been there for 3 years now. But now I can’t even go there. 

This is so unfair. I really wish I had a Green Card already so I could travel instead of staying at home all summer. :(
