Got a haircut. I’m bald again. Will post pictures shortly. In the meanwhile, Sloan bidding ended today, and I completely forgot which classes I bid for, so I guess I’ll find out when I get back to school! And as a reminder of Sloan MBA-to-Undergrad relations, I present you with Paul’s insight:
Malina: It would be great if they were like, “I hear you’re such dorks… can I copy your homework?”
An update on this thread: Cameron took my loveseat to Sidney-Pacific and Eliseo, who is living in my Fall room this summer, will take care of my futon during the holiday.
I ended up resisting the urge to get those Bose headphones and got these Sony in-ear types instead, but in white, to match my iPod. (Many thanks to Froseph for the recommendation.) And I’m not really an expert on such matters, but they do have great bass response for such tiny earbuds, and the closed design does a pretty good job at blocking out outside noise at about 1/10 the cost of those bulky Bose headphones. Can’t ask for more than that.
And yes, I heard that they were making a reality TV series called Rock Star: INXS that would choose the next frontman for INXS. My impression was that they were still in pre-production for the series, and although it would be filmed in LA, it would be released for Australian TV in the near future. Check out the band website for updates, but last I heard, they were in final round auditions. Oh, and I think the drummer’s name is Jon Farriss.
Went out with Jenny Chen and her mom today for “lunch” and ended up spending the next 4 hours shopping for handbags like all good Shanghainese women. We did not, however, end up buying hundreds of dollars worth of Shiseido skincare, despite our paranoid Asian backgrounds, and my recently extreme shopping urges. And now I’m so tired… want to collapse. Should call Yanting first to see if she wants to do lunch tomorrow….
In 5 hours, I’ll be on a plane home once more, and lovely, lovely sleep will come my way. I’ve spent the last three nights shopping during the day and packing at night, and sleeping for a couple hours after daylight breaks. Tonight, I’ll finish what I’ve begun and tomorrow, I’ll be home again. A lovely three weeks in Shanghai spent with friends from IMSA, Applied, MIT, and of course, the city itself before I head off to Chicago for the rest of the summer.
The schedule:
Listening to:
Michael Hutchence – Michael Hutchence
08 – Don’t Save Me From Myself
Two finals down, three more to go. I swear I can make it… And still all this stuff for summer that I still need to settle. I’ve never felt so disorganized. But after Thursday, most of this will be over, just packing and the 24 hours in the air to worry about.
So, I’ve been thinking about buying some noise-cancelling headphones to reward myself for surviving this term. Mmmm, not going deaf during flight…. Sounds promising. Maybe those little Sony in-ear types, because I still don’t know if I can bring myself to wear those gigantic Bose headphones that are supposed to have beautiful sound. I know, I know, quality bass response, but I don’t know if I’m enough of a technophile to forgive myself for the fashion faux pas.
By the way, if anyone wants a futon or a loveseat for the summer, please let me know. I’ve got so much furniture to give away, it scares even myself.
Wow, did you know that Paris Hilton is dating someone named Paris Latsis. Apparently he’s the heir to some Greek shipping fortune.
She said that she hoped to marry Mr. Latsis and have children. “I want a big princess wedding,” she said, her voice again rising octaves.
I mean, I’m not sure how much I’d enjoy dating, marrying, or living with someone with the same first name. Especially if you’re the type of girl who likes to lose the maiden name after marriage. Wouldn’t that get incredibly confusing? I’m sure your children would understand after a while…. but if you have a puppy, man, the poor thing would have no idea.
Ugh, just finished my Macro paper, which is impressively long, but has unimpressively crappy correlation numbers. And there’s the final exams for the God-forsaken class this Thursday. Hopefully, I’ll study slowly and carefully, mysteriously leaving enough time to finish my Statistics problem set and my Analysis problem set, both due on Friday.
In the meanwhile, this whole housing thing is making me super stressed and depressed. You’d think it wouldn’t be so hard for me to find housing in the city where I pretended to spend 3 years, but apparently not… I have some strange choices to make in the near future, which all makes me wonder… Is this what growing up is all about?
