Thanksgiving in DC wasn’t that bad, after all. Sure, it could have been nice to be home and what not, but I got by. Last Sunday was a somewhat larger UCLA Alumni Thanksgiving in DC, but on Thursday, a smaller group of us met up and feasted. I’d especially like to thank Lauren for putting [...]

A parody of television, my life has become. I have realized, only after two days at work, that I have suddenly fell into that trap known as “The Office” where the most mundane things become highlights in your day and time moves quite slow.

As lame as it sounds, I feel as if a new chapter of my life has begun as my adventure in Washington, DC has now officially started. I started work today, back with the United States Conference of Mayors, this time taking the helm as “Desktop Manager”. My responsibilities are to essentially ensure that IT [...]
