Nothing Beats Mom’s Cooking

August 21st, 2011 by Manda | 3 Comments | Filed in Family, Food

Tonight, I made my first home-cooked meal in my apartment. Since I’ve been missing my mom’s home-cooked Chinese food, I decided to go with one of my favorite dishes of hers: chicken and broccoli stir fry. It’s incredibly simple to make, but it tastes really, really good.

I’m happy to report that my dinner was a success (the stir fry was served with a side of steamed white rice). However, it still didn’t taste as good as my mom’s. I guess nothing will ever beat my mom’s cooking – not even my own!

How Am I STILL Not 21?!

August 20th, 2011 by Manda | 6 Comments | Filed in Friends, Life

Even though my 21st birthday is only a few days away, I’ve never been so upset that I’m not yet 21. All my friends are out at the bars and clubs and I’m stuck home alone on a Saturday night because I can’t get into the places they’re at. Thank GOD this is my last weekend as a 20-year-old because this seriously blows.

Oh 21st birthday, please hurry up and arrive before I have no social life to speak of…! (I kid. Well, kind of. I miss being able to go out and have wild nights, dammit! I never had this age problem in China!)

I Got My Dream Internship

August 16th, 2011 by Manda | 11 Comments | Filed in Work

Remember how I talked about how I was waiting to hear back about a fall internship? Well, I was offered my dream internship!! I will be a media relations intern at a prominent international organization. I’m really excited as this position will allow me to dive head-first into my field of study and gain valuable experience. I also strongly believe in this organization’s mission statement, which was one of the reasons why I wanted so badly to intern at this organization.

I will have a full day of orientation in exactly two weeks. After that, I’ll begin interning part-time throughout the whole semester. I’m so excited! :D
