Personal Update: Back at the school of J
by bewarenerd
It’s the fourth day of the year, and yet when I foolishly faced the cold this afternoon to go to school, the place was humming along regularly, people working and writing, eating at the cafe and smoking out on the front steps, ignoring the dead silence of the rest of the Columbia campus.
I spent the back half of December as a nomad along the East Coast. Christmas in Connecticut (oh my god, it’s a Lifetime holiday special!), second Christmas in West Virginia, a quick visit in DC, and a friend’s birthday and New Year’s outside Philly. Then another night and back to New York.
Things learned along the way:
Hedgesville, West Virginia: exactly as small as you think it is (still beautiful, though)
Possible conflict-of-interest or proof that econ wonks and journalists are made for each other?
This photo I took was plagarized by the director of the Malyasian National Dancesport council and then quickly taken down when a fellow Flickr-ite emailed him about it. Bizarre.
It was relaxing as a week and a half break could be, but honestly, with the exception of one major project, I had checked out. Now to get back into the momentum of life that I’m truly enjoying.
