There will be no "JWTT-2010" series
I kept a daily log of my “SSTT-2009” (Senior Summer Taiwan Trip) - but now is not then. Most updates will come in short bursts from http://newdemain.tumblr.com if you’re curious. For now I’ll just say, “Damn you jetlag. I think I know what it’s like to be Christine Lang during the school year now.”

"Trying"
So I was watching I Love You, Man the other day, and although I wasn’t a big fan of the movie overall, there was one part that really stuck with me. I think it’s because I tried to explain this to some people all the time and it often doesn’t get through to them.  What’s the quotation from the movie? Trying is having the intention to fail…Say you’re going to do it, and you...

It's not about memorization...
…it’s about learning! I hear people talk about studying and cramming for tests all the time, and then get dirty looks when they find out how much I study. People then continue to say that the Business School is easier than others, but I think they’re just bitter (for the most part). That’s for a different time though.  How does it work though? It’s pretty easy to...

If there was one thing I appreciate about my room, I think it would be the window.  Yes, it’s nice I have a single room. Yes, it’s nice that I’ve set up an external monitor that allows me to watch Up in the Air/500 Days of Summer whenever I please. Yes, it’s nice that I’ve arranged my room to have enough space that I could easily fit in an air mattress on the floor...

Writing
This also started from a conversation that I had with Stephanie C last week. I’ve never liked writing for school, but I love writing on blogs like tumblr. I am by no means as eloquent as some of my friends, but what I try to do is be honest and speak from the heart. It’s really just an outlet for my thoughts. I always find it interesting to look back even just a year and see how much...

Ordinary
I was talking with Stephanie C. the other day when we started talking about being ordinary  To be honest, being ordinary is one of my greatest fears - living an ordinary life with an ordinary job. Of course, the majority of people will end up “ordinary”, even though we see so many extraordinary individuals all around us. They are the exception. The question now: are you? To be honest,...

Why I applied to Southwest
Last week, I applied to 16 different Southwest internships for the summer.  Why? I think it’d be amazing just to work at Southwest. They’re pretty much a leader in the domestic flights market, and their business model is so efficient and clean that we even spent weeks studying Southwest freshman year. I think it would be incredible to just work and learn with a company that we have...

If you don't appreciate what you have until it's...
…what happens if you don’t notice it’s gone? Does it mean that you don’t appreciate it? I guess so. To push it further, it could mean that whatever it is meant nothing to begin with. Another sad reality I suppose. Despite what people want to believe, we often take things that we have for granted to the point where we don’t notice when it disappears.  I guess this...

There are times when my thoughts are meaningful and long, but there are other times when I just have a short blurb (and amusing reblogs) that just aren’t of the equivalent caliber to other posts I’ve made here.  So, I’ve created a tumblr just for those, which will obviously be updated more often. This way, the quality of this tumblr doesn’t become diluted by other less...

Feed me...or maybe I'll feed you?
Last Monday, I took a trip to Schnucks to grab some stuff to cook with. I had an extra loaf of bread so I decided to make French Toast for my suite/floor. I have to admit, it was probably inspired by seeing Maylene, Rachel, and Lily make cookies for their floor. Too bad though, it’s a lot easier to give away food when you’re an asian girl than when you’re…me. Haha I spent...
