With that said, I still haven't finalized summer (and beyond) plans. Should have a solid picture by the end of April, so I apologize to those who've been waiting on responses from me for trips/events. I'm not purposely trying to be noncommittal - I hope to have good news for everyone soon.

Was chatting with a friend recently about old times in college and reflected on how funny and immature we were. It's fun to think back about how our priorities were so different back then. With that said, it's all part of growing up. And we sure enjoyed ourselves.
When people ask what I miss about being in the states, they usually ask about food or places. Honestly, I don't miss any of that. I do miss the people though. I'd like nothing more than to have some of my favorite people over for bbq to catch up on life.

My parents just had their 32nd wedding anniversary a few weeks ago. It's amazing.
When preparing for interviews, I know one of the questions companies want to ask me is why I've come to Asia: it's interesting that once upon a time my parents came to America for grad school and to find opportunity - how parallel it is that I've left the states for Asia to do the same thing some 35 years later. Cheers to them for the love and success!
They sent me a picture from their anniversary dinner and my mom was wearing Ugg boots haha. Always the stylish one in the Lee household.

And cheers to everyone else. Spring has officially arrived.
