The scientists were standing on the shoulders of giants, they note in their report in...

Happy New Year ! xx

In just a few hours’ time, I will be on the plane to Siem Reap, Cambodia. During my 2-weeks stay there, I will be volunteering my help to a local orphanage (as well as pulling a Lara Croft in Angkor Wat during the weekends). I will be turning 21 this coming 24th so this trip is easily the best gift I can give to myself.
See you guys on the 26th.

Omg! Are you Cambodian? Because I am too :D
Hello Alicia, I’m not Cambodian! I’m just heading to Cambodia next week for two weeks to volunteer at an orphanage in Siem Reap and also to take some time off school and work. I never knew you’re Cambodian, that’s a nice surprise. Had any chance to visit Cambodia lately?

I’m almost done with my undergraduate degree. The question is, what am I going to do after this? Thinking of applying for med school, going on to graduate school, taking a gap year and volunteer in a NGO in Africa, staying at my current job..

Just like you, I’m trying to keep myself sane at work. Hope you’re doing awesome so far :)
Here’s three ways for you to keep yourself sane at work:

Monday Thoughts:
So many of our dreams first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
I’m a prisoner of my own mind
“I’m afraid so. You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.”
Still working on the results section for my research report. Trying to keep myself sane.
