We each wrote our hopes and dreams on sky latterns, which were then lit, causing them to float into the air. Of course my greatest ambition is "愛" - to live for love. For me, love is such a tricky yet magical emotion. To love your family, your friends, your career, and perhaps one day, to find that one true love in your life.

Post-grad life.

The summer where you blow every penny you have scrupulously saved over the past four years from your minimum wage campus job. The last summer of living in reckless abandon, before the reality of the "real world" consumes you, before the chains of adulthood shackle you.

Last day in New York

I call today the day of excessive food and shopping.

The first real day exploring New York is like walking into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory - so many things to explore and sights to see yet so little time.

The first time I went to New York with the Suzanne Middle School Challenger Band and Orchestra, I stayed at the Hilton Hotel on Avenue of the Americas. The hotel was teeming with pandemonium caused by the arrival of hundreds of eight-graders.
