Back in San Diego

Hello, it's been a while! I finished up my internship at WDI a couple weeks ago, and it was an amazing experience overall! I can't believe how much they spoiled us interns, and I made some great friends along the way. The Stanford Engineering Newsletter recently published an article about my experiences with Disney this summer, which you can click to enlarge it to a readable size:



Some highlights from the summer:

- Living on my own for the first time. I stayed in a little house 15 minutes from work, and also close to some great shopping/dining areas.
- Visiting Disneyland 7 times for free! We got to tour some of the rides at 4am and learn about how the park was designed.
- Meeting all the amazingly brilliant and kind people at Walt Disney Imagineering
- Getting into swing dancing! A surprisingly large number of people swing dance in Pasadena, and we had weekly outdoor swing dancing with a live band on Friday nights. So much fun!

Anyways I've been in San Diego these past two weeks, finishing up a paper from a class I took in Japan last quarter. On Sunday I'm driving back up to the Bay Area with my aunt, and I'll be hitting the ground running with taiko performances and schoolwork. I'm really looking forward to my last year at Stanford. Hopefully I'll have enough time to savor every minute even with the stresses of campus life.

Until next time!
