March has been a delightfully inquisitive month for me. I'm proud to say I've also been able to cross off two of my goals for the year. The process was simple and complex. With any beginning, I'd be lying if I said fear was not a vivid state of mind. If I'm able to persist through the first few steps, fear becomes a turnover for potential disappointment. So I tend to remain quiet for a while. It is during this period where I've summed up the courage to tell myself that I'm more stronger than I believe. I'm now doing things I was once scared to do years ago. This new-found emotional strength is unreal, I'm growing up.

Doctor's Appointment
3/3
You can scold me for prolonging my summer's cold by choosing to go out instead of resting at home. I still have no regrets for attending Melbourne's White Night, despite being incredibly bedridden the next day. I was getting worse and tossing between five different medications. Mum decided to make a doctor's appointment for me without my knowledge. It was the only way to get me there; I hate visiting the doctor.

Westall Station Woe with Annie
11/3
I was on the train travelling from uni to the library for reading buddy when there was an abrupt stop at Westall. The next station was my final stop, and I had an ounce of hope that whatever was faulty would be fixed soon. An unfortunate accident had occurred at the following station so everyone had to get off the train. I was quickly immersed in the flurry of people alerting the news on their phones. Many expressed their frustration and tiredness. Despite the commotion, I was able to bump into Annie and Vu who both kindly offered a lift to the library for me. In the end, Annie's father came to pick us up and I arrived 15 mins late to the reading session. My lovely literacy officer was very understanding of my situation.

Congratulations to one of my closest buddies, Lan for graduating with a Bachelor of Design (Interior)! You made it and we're all so proud of you.

ACMI Training for the DreamWorks Animation Exhibition
29/3
Dear Karen
Thank you for your recent application to volunteer at ACMI. We are pleased to invite you to join the Volunteer Program for the DreamWorks Animation exhibition period (April - October 2014).
Have they sent the email out to the wrong Karen? I couldn't believe it! The selection process was noted to be gruelingly competitive and I've been fortunate enough to be at service to the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI). I'll be leading the public around all the stunning work and behind the scene pieces of both the minor and major DreamWorks films (I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2). If you have trouble distinguishing which film is Disney or DreamWorks, try recalling the little boy fishing while sitting on the moon before the opening scene!

Every time I walk into Haikara ($2.80 Japanese store) they've always trapped me by playing old school DBSK songs. I can't walk out of the damn place until they finish the song.

As always, I hope you've been well and I'll see you in April.
Take care and ciao for now!
