Corporate Conundrums: Philly Living: One Year in Retrospect
http://ks2syk2nv.blogspot.com/2010/09/philly-living-one-year-in-retrospect.html
We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection." -Anais Nin. Thursday, September 2, 2010. Philly Living: One Year in Retrospect. Yesterday was my one-year anniversary with Philadelphia. Mind-fucking-boggling. September 1st, 2009, I flew into PHL with two stuffed suitcases, a box holding TDH (my bike), and the shiny new face of a soon-to-be graduate student. I came in with the mindset that I'd be "out in 10 months," and used that as fuel to get me over the hurdles. Peace, Love and Philly!

We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection." -Anais Nin. Monday, October 4, 2010. A friend whom I recently inducted into biking said "bikers are very unfriendly, they always look so angry", and I couldn't believe that perception existed. From my experience, and this has kept up richly while biking on the trails around Philly, bikers are incredibly. And most recently, I was riding up the Schuylkill River Trail. After all these positive experiences, I can't help but think what my frie...

We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection." -Anais Nin. Saturday, September 5, 2009. A Moment to be Pennsive. Although not quite done with my first week in Philadelphia, I have done enough exploring in the past few days to give me a sense of what I've gotten myself into. I now feel I can give a rudimentary judgment of several aspects of my new life. I haven't tried one yet, but I am excited to. Ugh After 4 days of serious cleaning, and asking the facilities repair for an exterminat...

http://ks2syk2nv.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection." -Anais Nin. Sunday, July 18, 2010. Welcome to the Working World. The reason I was most excited about this position, and still am, is that it's real. I'm a person who loves routine, and although I'm guaranteed to get tired of it, for now I like having a regular pattern to my life. It's especially nice after 8 weeks of sleeping in and not using my brain at all. And a great way to meet your coworkers. 1 While this isn't good or bad, it's def...

After what has been a physically, mentally and emotionally trying three weeks, today I inadvertently found solace in a house of worship. Well not just a. Place of worship, but three distinct places. The first was completely spontaneous. While at Biketoberfest. After Biketoberfest, I went to a Diwali. Celebration by Penn's Hindu Student Council. Here I witnessed and participated in my first puja.
