This is a tough question. I admire a lot of people! What about you?
umm thats a good question I think people have to earn my admiration and not many get it haha who do you admire/ ?
I admire my parents. They re both very different,  but they work together despite their differences. I also admire my sisters. After living ni Russia, I admire a lot of people because I realize that so many people go through hard things in their own way. I have learned a lot of empathy, which has taught me to admire people for different reasons.
Thats true. I think everyone goes through their own hard trials and its tailored to them. Thats why we cant judge them at all and we cant envy their situation I like that
Exactly! It is a humbling lesson, but an important one to learn. How did your semester go?
still going haha i got 2 finals left. Physics and Cyber Security. Plus a Cyber security penetration project you?
Wow! Best of luck with those. Those sound like intense finals, I was able to finish all of my finals on Saturday, so now I am just spending my time working on the independent Study course I am taking, prepping for the gre, and packing to get ready for my husband and my internship.
cool! I have an internship opportunity at Pluralsight I am really hoping to get. THey are interning for Product Interns and ill be doing User Experience Design Whats your internship?
That sounds awesome! I do not know what that means, but I bet it is fascinating. My husband and I are going to Moscow on a joint study abroad intr ship. My husband will be in A computer tech company and I will most likely be working at a woman's health center or in a psychology clinic.
That sounds awesome! I am doing Information Technology Major. going to be a senior next year so I love computers. What does your husband study?
He studies computer engineering and is double majoring in Russian. What is the different between it and computer engineering?
computer engineering is more like the hardware and building the computers. IT is more like the maintenance, security of the computers and servers, and setting up the infrastru cutre of the IT part of the company or business Im going towards User Experience Design so I am prototyping and designing apps before actually coding it telling people what to code instead of being told what to code is why Im doing user experience design
That makes sense. Do yoh have any idea of what you would like to code? Any ideas for special apps?
I've thought of some but not right now haha I just want to graduate asap I got a year left in the program
That is exciting. I have a year left as well, but that is only if I drop my Spanish minor. For the grad school program I want to get into, I do not need to to minor in soanish In order to show that I can speak Spanish.
pretty cool. I was thinking about doing a korean minor, but I decided not to because I dont have enough time and credit slots to do it. IT is too hard and time consuming to do a minor in korean Im also working 20 hours a week during school so its hard to balance between school and work. oh and girlfriend haha
That last one makes time slightly difficult. That is so neat you know Korean! But it is understandable that why you would not want to minor Ni it. I have heard any major related to computers makes life pretty time consuming. I hardly ever see my husband because he is always In the lab! How did you meet your girlfriend. Sorry, that was a question mark at the end:)
I met my girlfriend in the Library. I used to work at the Media Center doing camera checkouts and she came in a few times and later I decided to take her out one a rock climbing date and we both really liked each other and now we are still dating its been like 7 months of dating now.
That is so cute! That also sounds like a very fun date. Are you also into photography? Or did you just enjoy working with media? Seven months in provo is a pretty long time!
Thanks! I enjoy photography, but I definitely can improve my skills. yeah it is a long time! Its been a good 7 months how long did you date till you got married?
That is a good still to 8mprove. I feel that everybody in Utah knows at least one photographer,
photography is a competitive market here if you want to be professional
My husband and I date for three months until we got engaged, but our engagement was eight months. We met in the mission, so we knew each other for almost two years before we Started dating.
thats a long engagement I heard long engagements are hard
That is very true. There are so many photographers! And yes, it was a long engagement, but it is what we needed!  Our mission president returned  in June and my husbands siste Was in a study abroad. Long engagements can be difficult, but it depends on the person. For us, we knew really fast that we wanted  to get married, but we also knew we were not quite ready to be Married. With the long engagement, we were able to prepare for marriage better than if we had not been married.
thats pretty cool
We had more time to plan, focus on our studies, and take care of other things.
My girlfriend and I have been talking about marriage for some time now and I think because we are getting things taken care of we haven't been engaged yet i think this summer might be a good time to really think about it an dplan it out
That is wise. Everybody has their own time table. And it is best to communicate openly with your partner to know for sure how each is feeling. Summer is a good time because you do not have work and school st the same time (for the most part).
yes i agree
What is your girlfriend going to be doing over the summer?
shes going to work and take couple classes in the summer easy classes shes going to be taking furniture design and a couple generals out of the way she is applying for internships right now too so if she get one that she likes then I think shes going to be doing internship instead
That is neat. I hope it works out for her. How did you learn Korean?
I hope so too I am Korean haha surprise
Well that makes sense!
i moved here to the states when I was 9  years old so I kept up my korean
Good for you. That is a challenging thing to do, keeping up a language that is not spoken widely. I have a cousin that served in Dae Jong and my brother in law is in Seoul.
no way thats awesome
After our internship, we are going to visit him ni Seoul for a week. He completes his mission a week before we finish our internship.
oh niceeee im jealous. I want to go back and visit I haven't been back since I moved here
I heard there are a few internship opportunities the Kennedy center does It is possible they have one that involves your major!
Yeah they might!
Byu has so many opportunities. I also bet Korea might have some programs for international students if you are interested.
I would take those korean internships except that if I go back to the motherland I'll have to serve a 2 year military korean has mandatory military service and I haven't served yet but I dont want to because I consider myself American I've lived here more than I've in Korea so
I did not realize Korea has a two year requirement. I know that Russia and Israel do,  it it did not occur to me that Korea did. I do not blame you for considering yourself an American. I have always lived here, but I have heard that people that move here either always want to go back to their original country, or do not want to go back. Do you Think you will do business with Korea?
I want to go back some day and work there. My girlfriend does too haha. shes white though. When I get my Citizenship here in America Ill look for opportunities to work in Korea. I want to make Rock Climbing a big thing there so we will see how that will play out, but for now stay alive in school haha
Staying alive in school is a very important thing to do. Does your girlfriend speak Korean?  Or just she want to go back because you have told her about it? Making rock climbing big would be a pretty good accomplishment, !
she likes asian things so she wants to visit and live there and also learn korean haha thanks! Its a small sport over in Korea and its slowly becoming a trend.
Good for her! It is quite a feat to learn a foreign language. Are there many mountains to climb in Korea? Or are you thinking more along the lines of built in rock climbing within a building. ?
probably out doors on rocks or boulders i gotta go have a good day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
