October TRAIN

     


    In an attempt to stop manifesting my anxiety through nail-biting I have started learning pen juggling tricks. The juggling distracts me so I don't obsess when I am trying to do my work. When I first began it was frustrating because I couldn't get the trick down right. Through several attempts I have managed to learn my first trick. Persistence is key. 
    Something I have always wanted to learn is photoshop. I learned that ASU offers their students free Adobe products. I have started watching simple tutorials and asking people for pointers. The people I have asked are not familiar with it. At the moment I am just playing around with the application in an attempt to get familiar with it. It is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be.

 Lost in Translation      Glendale Community College became a place of solace. I knew how to navigate the campus: the nearest coffee shop, all the areas where a whiteboard was in close proximity and most importantly the best places to nap or watch Netflix. The time finally came to move on and began the process of applying to ASU. I remember feeling lost, overwhelmed, stressed, excited as well as many other emotions. I constantly felt that I wasn't "ready", although at this point I have been in C.C for 4 years.      I think it's important to continue new experiences and be put in uncomfortable situations. New is not bad and should not deter from applying or continuing something. I have no doubt these feelings will again present themselves when I apply to jobs and (hopefully) when I get hired for a new work environment.           Deadlines. They will follow me. If I am to do my job correctly and timely, I will need to follow...

 Media Presence.      My media presence is majorly for entertainment. If you would do a google search of my name you would find several selfies. Those selfies are linked to my Pinterest, and LinkedIn profile. My Pinterest has several boards I predominately created in high school. I luckily (in my opinion), do not have any embarrassing posts from that time. Learning that my future employer can view my board has made me consider to turn those posts private. My LinkedIn is pretty scarce. I have listed my previous employers with no description as well as my education. I also have a Facebook and Instagram. I use those to procrastinate from doing actual homework. I enjoy sending memes/ videos to my friends on Instagram. I have thought of deleting my Facebook, however too much nostalgia is linked to that. When life gets busy, it is nice knowing family/friends are thriving and receiving updates I can catch on later.      In the near future, I look fo...

 Degree      Definetely want to remain in the science field. This semester I have had the opportunity to work in a lab and develop a methodology. At times I believed I botched my experiment, but I was reassured it was a part of the process. Science allows to learn and adapt from errors.      The goal is to work in a lab - prefferably in the the government. I toured the lab of Department of Public Safety and it fueled the spark I had towards forensics. I'm planning to work in a lab for a couple of years before continuing my education. I am not 100% sure in what I want to continue studying; however I have been looking into Pathologist Assistant programs. Louisiana and Pennsylvania are definite contenders.
