Where am I Going

In class, Mr. Hedden started with asking 4 questions: what is the happy life? what is a successful life? what is a good life? And what is a useful life? After lots of deep discussion, the point is what kind of life do I want? where am I going? I want my life to be happy, successful, good and useful? Is it too much to ask? well, this is where I want to go, what I want to achieve, so, there!

This is what I picture myself in 10 years: I am going to have a nice comfortable house, does not need to be huge but enough for maybe 6 or 7 people. I want my parents to live with me and my husband, maybe have a couple kids. I am working as top management at a corporation, I am able to see my friends often, and have free time outside of work to travel and have fun.

Preparation for the Big Lunch

I started my internship about a month ago, and I absolutely love it! Everyone is  so nice at work, they are helpful and considerate. There is a great tradition that is carried on by this group of awesome people—people take turns to  cook  a whole lunch meal for everyone on Fridays. This is wonderful because everyone is busy at work normally, and this provides a opportunity for colleagues to connect with one another. Also, the working environment is very diverse, one week we will have Italian, next week we will have French, the week after we will have some Tennessee barbecue! So I have decided to cook Chinese meals for everyone at work. Some dishes are going to be my specialties, some will be to-be-learned new dishes. This is going to be my project for this semester. So the passing Friday, some of my colleagues and I went to the Asian Market in Kingsport. They are really interested and curious about what kind of groceries the Asian Market sells. That’s the main reason fo...

Reece Museum

Today, I went to the Reece Museum and I invited a few of my friends to go with me as well, to be honest, I didn’t even know we have a museum on campus. It was freezing outside, we were so glad when we got inside of the museum. The museum looked so cool, I couldn’t help to take a bunch of pictures, I am not going to show all of them because like I said, I took A LOT of pictures. Anyway, here are some of the pictures I took:  It looks like my friends are having some fun there!  the native American Basketry was amazing. We all had a good time at the Reece Museum and I am so glad that i went, my friends are happy that i invited them, they said it was pretty cool to see all of it in the museum.

Lunch On

Finally, I got to cook for 30+ people! before I get to that, let's back up a little bit and talk about grocery shopping first. So I went grocery shopping the day before I have to fix the meal, it took some time since I have to make two stops, one is Walmart and the other is Asian Market. There are some seasonings that I can only find in the Asian Market. After gathering all the ingredients, I started preparing them that night. I cut up 15 pounds of chicken into little pieces, like mini ice cubes. I put all the chicken into two huge containers and poured some soy sauce and ginger power into the containers, mix them up really well, then covered the containers up with foil. stored them in the fridge for next day's use. I cut some carrots into little cubes as well. It was pretty late when I got this done, I left the rest of the work for the next day. I got up super early in the morning so that I will have time to put everything I need in the car to bring to work. I did not know I ...
