i love late night! they serve hot and sour soup and it's delicious and i get some nearly every night!

post-college

Everyone is starting to figure out plans! It's very exciting.

• I will be at JPMorgan in NYC, but you already knew that
• Kristina will likely be at Cornerstone (economics consulting) in NYC with me!
• Clare is in Boston interviewing for Microsoft Startup Labs
• Francis got an offer at Optiver, a trading firm in Chicago
• Winnie and Yao will be going to medical school
• Peng will be taking a year off to research/volunteer/cure cancer/other between college and med school
• Tina and Vincent will be co-terming and getting Masters in EEs -- environmental engineering and electrial engineering, respectively
• Trevor will be going to grad school in biology at some as-of-yet undetermined but sure-to- be amazing school

And that's just about everyone. Except for some people who don't know what they're doing yet :) but pretty exciting huh?

poor neglected blog...

I've been alternating between 5 hours of sleep a night for half a week, and then 10 hours of sleep a night for the other half. It's probably unhealthy. But I am now COMPLETELY DONE with two of my classes......only two more finals to go :D Wohoooo.

I'm packing up my room, moving most of my stuff out on Tuesday and the rest of it on Saturday. Then next Sunday--exactly a week from today--I'll be on a plane on my way to China, for a weeklong vacation in Hainan before spending the quarter at Peking University in Beijing!

Extremely excited about the good food + no problem sets + karaoke + traveling. Definitely ready for a fun quarter.

Ben is tall and colorful.

I went to Great America with Peng and we ate free ice cream sandwiches and push-pops.

a cool website

Look at this!

JPMorgan Investment Banking!

pretty self-explanatory i think :D

i'm not totally jobless! i won't have to live on someone's floor and write a book over the summer!

recruiting is starting to wind down -- or if not wind down, at least start to become less stressful. chances are, i'll be in san francisco this summer. not too unhappy with that. i'd like to be in new york but i love sf too :)

flip flop

Somehow in the past two days my sleeping schedule has changed completely - I've been going to bed around midnight, and getting up at 6:30 am or so. Not so much because I'd rather be awake in the morning or have extenuating reasons to be, but because I get really tired at night...and sleep seems like a more attractive option than anything else at the time :P

Yesterday I get a chocolate almond cake to celebrate nothing at all and then people came over and we all ate cake! It was quite lovely. I didn't like the cake itself that much though, so I'm going to scout out other bakeries nearby....

a particular lack of skill

i don't think i have the hang of recruiting down. how am i supposed to market myself? i don't know!
....

lack of knowledge -> total failure in this regard

....

i feel as if i should be worrying legitimately about what i'm going to end up doing this summer, but i'm not...in some ways i don't really care that much. if the rest of the world (read: my parents) would be ok with it, i could seriously be happy just traveling through china and writing a book. as it is i'll take what i can get.
