recovered!

As of when I woke up Thursday morning, I felt great. Ahhh, I love my immune system. It's been a long time since I've been sick for more than a day at a time.

Another Game tonight! Traipsing around the Bay Area starting at 6pm tonight, not to return until tomorrow morning.

tales of a foreign land

Back from Korea, happy and rested and full of delicious foods.

Among the highlights of the trip were climbing a mountain (there was even snow!), trekking through lava tube caves on a volcanic island, soaking in one of the most famous hot springs in Korea (which was nude, which was slightly strange at first, but which ended up being ok :D), visiting a fish market in the port city of Busan, shopping for scarves, exploring Seoul, and still managing to get 8+ hrs of sleep every night. Oh, and Singapore Airlines.

And FOOD!! But I will write more about that later. That must be accompanied by pictures. In the meantime, it's 3:30am and classes start tomorrow so off to bed I go like a good girl.

logic

verdict on viennese ball

Pretty good this year -- fun, because I knew a lot of people there; not too tiring, because I got a lot of sleep; and delicious, as always. They didn't play as wide a variety of songs as usual...swing, waltz, and tango was about 90% of it, with minimal salsa and polka, and almost none of anything else..

but besides that it went very well!

On the dance floor!

on the way to becoming a blob

eat, sleep, lounge around, repeat

math camp reunion a couple days ago -- elaine baked the most delicious mint and dark chocolate brownies, i probably ate like 2000 calories that night in brownies alone. was great fun seeing (and playing games with) all of my old math camp buddies one last time before i leave for work/the real world.

francis has also been visiting, which means more occasions for unhealthy eating. he brought chocolate. then we go to restaurants. sometime we might bake cakes. oh dear.

break is almost over :( :(

home and 30 rock

I got home last night, ate massive amounts of Peking duck, finished reading A Fine Balance, ate many chocolates, and finished the entire first season and most of the second season of 30 Rock. What a perfect first 24 hours at home.

foods that i enjoy eating

that is, not foods that i like, but foods that i take pleasure in actually consuming because of texture or other things. which might overlap with foods that i like. or is just a subset.

1. Tea eggs

2. Israeli cous cous

3. Yogurt

4. Sea bass

5. Creme brulee

6. Blueberries

late night

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

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?
