"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the cat.
"I don't much care where-" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the cat.

It's the early part of the internship recruiting season for us, and it's interesting to meet different people from all kinds of job functions and industries. It really is a test to see that I'm serious about my original plans - and while I've briefly thought twice about them on a few occasions, ultimately I take a step back and remember the big picture. After all, I'm crazy enough to leave a job to come here at a time when a lot of people are currently looking for one.
Besides the people (family, friends, RAPTORS!), the two things I'm starting to miss about the states are american football, and my car. I found a site to watch the NFL streaming, but the problem is that chargers games are on at 4am Monday morning here: I've been sleeping late or waking early! And while I think it's pretty awesome and quite convenient to be in buses, subways and cabs all the time, I do miss climbing into the ride and taking the wheel.
Story time: I brought some Reese's peanut butter cups (thanks to TINA WOO's care package <3!) into the common lounge the other day, and three of my classmates; from Spain, Italy, and Madagascar; gave me these looks I couldn't believe - they'd never had a Reese's before. I passed a cup out to each of them and watched as they carefully pulled away the orange wrapper and peeled off the black liner. The result of the small bite they each took was pure unscripted pre-school joy. I didn't hear another word out of them until they each finished their Reese's cups.
