Dan Gilbert!

I don't think I could love this man more if I tried.

So Claude Steele might be getting up in the years by the time I finally get around to grad school, but Dan Gilbert on the other hand, will not be, and I've liked him for even more years than I've liked stereotype threat.

Barring any really unfortunate financial situations and the complete self-destruction of my last Reed semester, I'll go to New York after graduation and work for him for a couple years. I cannot even begin to convey how deliriously happy this makes me, and once that wears off, I'm sure, how ( Read more... )
