Most of you have probably seen this passed around all over the Internet, social networking, Facebook, etc. etc. (I'm behind on my informative posting), but: Paper Tigers: What happens to all the Asian-American overachievers when the test-taking ends? I have a number of follow-ups to this, but it's a lengthy article and I don't want to overburden ( Read more... )

Love the article. Typifies for me how I feel about being Asian, but I'm also a self-professed Twinkie, so I don't know if my opinion matters.

Everyone's opinions matter, it's just a matter of how they're voiced.

Welp, if you don't mind Craigslist, there's usually postings looking for roommates or renters. DC is indeed pretty expensive. When my sister lived there she roomed with two other girls in a house on Capitol Hill, a couple blocks behind the Shakespeare Library. I can't remember what her rent was, but I know she wasn't making a lot. And good luck with your internship! But DC in the summer, ick^^

Yeah, I'm checking Craigslist, but I was hoping I could swing it to be less than random :P Ah well. Such is life. I am not looking forward to DC in the summer, but it can't be much worse than Tokyo in the summer.

I mean, I think. Don't prove me wrong.

If it doesn't come in, report that shit as lost. We'll get you a new copy. :D (I don't know if I told you where my new job is, but... guess where my new job is.)

I saw!

How long am I supposed to wait before I report something lost, anyway?

3 days, at minimum. Shipping is supposed to be around 1-3 days, so if it doesn't come then, just report. Worst that'll happen is you'll get two copies if the other shows.

Okay good, that's what I thought. It was supposed to arrive on the 12th, so I waited to report it until yesterday.
