oh man all i did was eat! jook, dim sum, chinese desserts, chinese cafe snacks, boba drinks, the list goes on. i spent the whole week in various states of full. the only time i actually felt any type of hunger was in the morning when i woke up. bernard showed me around downtown, we went to all the huge chinese malls, went to read at a book store, went to steven's parent's house where his mom cooked a marvelous meal. she made almond dessert from scratch!!

we talked a lot about bschool stuff. career, internships, treks to other countries. it would nice to do a joint event with MIT. one funny thing is that all the students at MIT gained weight while all the students at Carnegie lost weight. it's cuz us carnegie people study harder! haha...actually bernard was the one studying all during vacation. but it was because carnegie finished all the homework and midterms before break. also bernard was in charge of planning the asia trek so he has a lot more work to do than i do. it was so kool to hang with him after not seeing him for 3 years. it woulda been kool if i had applied to MIT and been in the same class as bernard? actually i found out that MIT had a Biomedical Enterprise Program in which i would get a masters in health from harvard as well as an MBA from MIT. it would have been great on my resume to have that. however then i'd have compete with the 100 plus students in venture capital. over here i'm one of the few into VC. only about 20 students ...if that. Also as a result i got to be first student to talk to vc's that come over to speak to us and they remember me. so maybe it's better to be a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in a big pond. :)
