a couple of surprises .

Today I was busy working on a big presentation for a class of mine... and was also greeted with a couple of surprises/random stuff that I thought I'd share (I'll share some photos too...maybe!)

1. THE DAILY TARGUM - I was browsing around the site doing research for my presentation and came across something newly uploaded ! I hope this stays up there for a while. Multimedia (as far as I know, I could be wrong) isn't up on the website for long, so I never linked videos/photos on the paper's site to potential employers or whatnot (only articles... because they stay there, archived).

2. BARRIO FIESTA 2009 - The RAPS annual dinner and play! JR took some photos of the cast and entrusted the editing to me and our other photoshop savvy friends (Marc, Justin). So I rushed and did some really amateur edits (temporary stuff.. nothing perfect) and uploaded the pictures on the Facebook event to advertise for the event.

3. I received two calls back from two internships, repsectively. Even though that's really exciting, I know now that I'll have to forgo my dreams of Japan (was signed up to study abroad there this summer, but it closed due to lack of enrollment... I could've done another program, but then the internships just got back to me). As an undergrad (this being my last summer as an enrolled student)... I'm not sure if I'll ever get a chance to study in Japan again. I can only look forward to tourism at a later date I guess!

4. Update on my video escapades.. working on three projects as of right now, the priority project being the Vietnamese Student's Association Ms. Vietnam Pageant that just took place last weekend. I've seen my share of many dance competitions and such, so it's refreshing to see something else once in a while. Maybe I'll get some DVD preview[s] up on youtube one of these days.

5. And of course, on top of everything else, there's school. Speaking of which, I should get back to my presentation. Self-reminder: registration takes place in a week for Fall 09 classes.
