The other intern and I had been planning to book a coach at the airport once we arrived, and take a four-hour ride into Exeter. We arrived an hour later than expected, but there were trains all throughout the day, so we figured we’d be fine. Pshh, no. We walked up to one of the […]

My right leg is still sore
Went out to Union Square to meet up with an old friend. It was the first time in a while that I’ve gotten out of the house, and just my luck, it’s extremely humid. So we did what city kids do: take shelter inside air conditioning. Our refuges were Whole Foods and Barnes and Nobles, […]
My name is Steven, and I provide services selectively.
Yesterday was my second annual visit to the Licensing International Expo. Held at the Jacob Javits Center, it’s a convention that brings together brand owners and investors interested in licensing them. It gathers businesspeople of all stature, from independent artists in a one-man booth to industry giants in expansive and elaborate showcases. The expo is […]
Two months of making perfection perfect
Microsoft came to campus some time ago for a recruiting drive. I knew that my odds were low but I wanted the experience, and no matter what the odds are, there is still a chance. Talking to the recruiter went very smoothly; I liked talking to him and he liked talking to me. He made […]
Charat + Hong’s destined battle – aXX:goim?screenname=SarcasticSteven&message=I’m solving your riddle right now.
My 3-day trip to New York was amazing, and both Shelly and I came back with twice the load we departed with. The majority of my load came from Saturday, when I went with my brother and the FIT group to attend the Digital Life convention at the Jacob Javits Center. I knew it was […]
“Why don’t you have an Asian freak?”
The beach epitomizes nearly everything I react badly to. Sand gets everywhere and precludes everything but sandals (which I never wear), the Sun is blinding even when there isn’t an expanse of sand reflecting it, the heat causes me to break down, and extended periods in water have the same effect. But when I went […]
You + Palm Pilot/Pocket PC + て
Getting out of school a month before your brother does and three weeks before your summer classes start leaves you with a lot of free time. I tried new games and tossed them away, tried old games and tossed them away, used Flash to make text glint, started reading military science fiction again, and visited […]
Delving into a girly valley of valley girls
You know that Boston University students are a little weird when you find one describing to two small Asian boys how unprotected sex feels infinitely better than that with a condom. Things actually went pretty well considering that I’m probably going to never see most of the people again. It’s something that I found hard […]
“My Spanish teacher told me that if I went to Mexico, I only needed to know two words: cerveza and baño.”
-Random subway rider detailing the importance of beer and bathrooms Boston University Orientation from Wednesday to Friday. Forbidden to bring my laptop (and I should try to explore, anyway…) so I’m going to be listening to my recently rediscovered iPod Nano (its case made my parents unknowingly displace it, but also made it easier to […]
