Back to real life

Right, anyhow. I'm back in the Bay now. It's been a few moths since I posted (if anyone cares). When I got back I started working a lot to save up money for my summer internship. I'll be living in DC (barring any real job openings between now and summer) and making no money working at a non-profit, an congressman's office, or, ideally, some kind of a public policy agency. Between the 27th of December and when school started on the 17th of January I tried to spend as much time as possible with the friends that I hadn't seen much of in the prior eight months and the friends that I wouldn't be seeing for a while.

I made a visit to LA to see my family down there and hang out with some of the kids from Vietnam. We had a really great time. We also saw the Vietnamese culture night show at UCLA and it was pretty good. But I have to say that Berkeley puts one on that is just as good or better - each your heart out UCLA.

Since school started I've been hitting the books pretty hard. I've got a lot of reading to do thanks to professors Levy and Hoshour, but at least all of the reading is interesting and contributing to my humble body of knowledge. I tried to do some recruiting for the EAP Vietnam program but the adviser only contacted us with a few weeks before the deadline so I don't think that we got any kids to come out for the program. Hopefully some of the second year students that we talked to will keep it in mind for next year and maybe they'll apply then.

Anyway, back to real life.
