hello summer

this time of the year again, where guidance is needed most, where all expectations and attention is hanging delicately from the edge of a cliff.

classes are over and the lull of summer, fit snug between the frantic week of cramming for exams and the foreign routine of working a 9 to 5 job, is about to come to an end. and not a moment too soon. the past two weeks, having nothing accomplished, have gone by in a heartbeat. and the entire time in the back of my head, i always felt as if i had another day, another hour to sit idly, staring into my computer screen into bits of data and information gathered from all across the world in what we know as the internet. what a theatrical way to procrastinate even the smallest tasks we have, huh?

i haven't written in this blog in a long ass time. i apologize to my readers, all three of them. you know who you are.

this past year has been a learning experience, as it always is. it is funny how life never stops for anyone, but it is up to yourself to step aside to evaluate the situation objectively. and it is so great that we can always pick ourselves up from our mistakes and continue learning--no, growing--as individuals. this is life; we are not perfect, and there is always room for improvement.

first and foremost, i am going to miss all of the graduates dearly. everyone who i met through akpsi and eventually got to know even better this past semester. ingrid told me that when people graduate into the working life, they just disappear from earth completely. i am going to try extra hard to keep in touch. seriously.. how hard could it be with facebook's multi-stalking features?

but seriously, i had a great time with everyone. too bad i was unable to make the graduation, but i had to go home to maryland to pick up my passport and to see my sick mom. i don't think it has hit me that i won't be seeing these 'seniors' next year at meetings and just around tisch hall in general. i mean, i chilled at ingrid's place last night, i saw jennifer today.. it's going to be a weird adjustment.

i only have about 5 more days until my 10 week rotational internship program begins at mastercard.

+ rotational internship
+ $500/week
- is in westchester

yeah, the commute is going to be a real pain in the ass. whatever, i'll deal with it.

thats it.

hello world

hello, world.

it is 1 am and i find myself where i always find myself at 1 am: hungry and bored, trying to find new ways to avoid doing work.

to bring readers up to date on my life, here is a short preface. i am 20 years old of chinese descent. i attend undergraduate stern business school at nyu studying finance. i live in union square. my roommate is never around.

i'm bored. i wait for the moment when i pass out with a sense of fulfillment. i can't sleep feeling like i haven't done anything, feeling like a worthless, unproductive bum. so begins my quest for fulfillment. i check and check again my buddy list, hoping to find someone that i can talk to at length, about our lives, our feelings, our futures. no one is online though, damn it. i stumble upon. again and again and again. i look at my homework and try to figure out when i should pretend to consider to start doing it.

thanks hannah for saving me from pouring my heart out onto this blog.
