Not really...but I promised that I'd post the pics of me playing hockey at The Shark Tank! Enjoy. Yes, I had to represent and wear their practice jersey.
So it's been a while again. Sigh. I don't know why I wait so long to blog, but life's been pretty exciting. Thank you Rob for reminding me this site exists. Anyway... where did I leave off? Since my efforts of tracking down Gerard Butler were in vain, I have spent more of my time playing hockey and going out with friends.
I celebrated Diwali for the first time with some Stanford Business Students,
celebrated my Grandpa's 94th birthday.
dressed up as a hockey player at work for Halloween,
went to Oregon for a conference,
Made a wish on November 11th at 11:11...
Got a haircut,
Made a double layer pumpkin cheesecake for my family on Thanksgiving (then for my coworkers).
Wow, I'm pretty good at timing my blogs out. It's been a month and a day since my last post, and honestly I've been too lazy to even open this blog to write. All I've done was travel and travel and some more travel since then. Right after the last post, I hopped back on a plane and went to Dartmouth for the first time, which, to me, was very exciting, until my traveling experience was the most horrendous situation - everything that could have gone wrong did.
This is how my day was supposed to be:
6am wake up (bad enough)
8am flight to Denver
Transfer in Denver to Boston
Transfer in Boston to Hanover, NH
Arrive at hotel at 8pm EST.
This is how my day ended up..
6am wake up
8am flight to Denver CANCELLED
Shuttle from San Jose to San Francisco
Flight from San Francisco to Boston
MISSED flight from Boston to Hanover
News of Steve Jobs passing away and a shooting near my brother's school - way to put an even greater damper on my day...sigh.
Take 3 hour shuttle from Boston to Hanover
Arrive at hotel at midnight EST.
So I traveled for 16 hours that day... at least I got paid double overtime! One of the perks of my job? Paid to sit in airports, plus overtime and all expenses included. So while I'm complaining, I really shouldn't. It just made me tired, that's all.
After the horrible day of traveling, everything went uphill from there. I was happy to see that Dartmouth has very similar characteristics to Smith, and since Smith is always so far out of the way for me to visit, Dartmouth was great for reminiscing. Hanover is a quaint town, even smaller than Northampton, with a downtown located right off of Dartmouth's "lawn".
I stayed at the Hanover Inn, which was smack between the "lawn" and downtown. Albeit it's perfect location, the hotel should be on the tv show "Most Haunted". For $369/night, I felt as though you should have PAID me to stay there. Since Dartmouth is "my" school, I have to visit once a year and you can be sure that I will never stay there again.
The career fair went off without a hitch, and I was proud of myself for being able to manage our 3 reps, and set up our booth all by myself.
