hey
Hello!
hows it going??
Pretty good, just chilling in class Hbu?
just finished breakfast and it was super yummy, and now im off to work on some projects for school. so if i dont reply immediately dont think im ignoring you
Haha that's okay. You just finished breakfast? I've been past lunch for a while now
lololol yeah i eat breakfast pretty late in the day anyways its kind of a keto diet thing
Ooh what's a keto diet?
you basically dont eat any carbs only protien and fat then you fast for a significant portion of the 24 hour day. so you eat as late as possible in the day
Dang thats intense. I've never heard of that before! How long have you been doing that?
it helps your body to act in starvation mode which activates ketosis and this helps you burn fat a lot faster and easier it works really really well. i started it last summer but had to stop doing it because of school
That's super cool! Too bad because of school Are you going to try and start it again this summer?
yeah it gets hard to maintain when youre not sleeping enough
haha very true So what are your plans for the future?
yes i have, it works a lot better when you are sleeping regularly and getting enough exercise I am waiting on an internship offer this summer for a ux company called plural sight.
And what do they do?
pluralsight is basically like linda.com where they have specialized courses to teach you stuff
So you're coding for them or something??
not all coding, i design the interface and how users react with buttons and the way things are organized on the screen to making it easy
Sounds cool! So are you into graphic design then?/ Any thoughts/decisions on a college major?
im majoring in IT but I really like the design aspect of it.
Sounds like fun. I'm not a huge fan of computer things, I'm majoring in anthropology
nice, what do you want to do with that? what year are you in college? also what got you interested in anthro?
I've been accepted to BYU, starting this fall I'm hoping to get my bachelor's in anthropology and then go on to a good master's program for forensic anthropology. With that I could work in criminal justice, FBI stuff I got interested in anthro because I love to learn how and why people do things based off of their culture and situations around them. anthro is basically the best major for "people watchers" lol
ha thats a really good way to explain it. ive never thought about it that way. so forensic anthropology, what is that? ive never heard of it before. what would you do in a car eer in forensic anthropology
it's applying what we know about how humans behave and studying usually crime scenes to determine what happened there Usually a career in the FBI is what get's jobs
wow that sounds awesome! i didnt know that anthropology could go that way, thats pretty interesting, do you watch a lot of crime victim shows? i was way into bones when i was
I watched enough to spike my interest haha
younger and i really like criminal minds even though it gets super gory and creepy sometimes, i dont know what it is about those shows they are just so interesting to watch.
Too true, and I think what we don't realize is that a lot of that can actually happen we just don't see it very much in real life
yeah its so true, i could tell you some stories. lol
Oh wow lol So have you been on a mission, thinking about one...?
yeah i served in oakland california, cambodian speaking
cambodian speaking?
what about you? want to go on a mission? if you could go anywhere in the world where would you go and why? yeah it was pretty cool, i think it was because im from korea and already learned english cause cambodian is a little more difficult to learn there werent many white guys down there lol
Oh wow so were you born in korea? And yes, I'm going to serve a mission. I really really want to go to Italy it's been my dream to go there for forever
yeah i moved here when i was nine years old. it seems like forever ago now though, its crazy to think about when i came here i didnt speak any english at all
I want to go there because of all the history that can be found there. I'm teaching myself italian so I can eventually go there Wow that's pretty cool! Any particular reason your family moved here?
my friend went there and loved it, she went back this summer or plans to i cant remember when she said she was going. she has a little obsession with it. i dont blame her. niceee! good girl theres a lot of reasons but my mom moved me and my two younger siblings to escape an abusive husband who wouldnt let her practice the lds religion
Haha tell your friend that I'm pretty much obsessed with italy also. My family thinks it's weird but someday I'll go there, maybe even stay there lol Oh wow, that's rough. I'm glad you were able to leave then
yeah i was young so i hardly remember it good for you, you can definitely do it. have you looked into study abroads that are offered in italy?
Of course! I'm planning on studying abroad my third year of college Have you studied abroad at all?
no, i have a lot of financial responsibility to my family so thats never really been an option though ive dreamed of it
Oh got it. Yeah, I've got five other siblings so if I'm going to study abroad it's gotta be all me paying for it
good! there are plenty of financial opportunities too, if you can get fafsa it shouldnt be too hard. I cant get fafsa because im not a citizen, but not to make you feel bad.
Interesting. So do you think you'll ever go through the process of becoming a citizen? I know it's pretty rigorous
Im grateful to be here and for the opportunities that i do have. i just think you should take advantage of all the financial aid the govenment can offer you. yeah eventually through a company that will sponsor me or through marrying someone im sure
And yeah, of course I've put in a FAFSA, but on paper my family tends to look like we make enough money to not need it. Okay that's a good plan. It's still cool that you're putting yourself through college and everything. Some people give up too early
hey my internet is lagging super bad. Im going to try reseting it. this chat window might close but ill open another one and we will probably pair up again. just a heads up.
Alright sounds good, in case we can't thanks for the interesting conversation!
