Hello everyone. I am at last done with my final papers and am happily back at home leisurely unpacking and taking my dog for walks. I will give a detailed rundown of my coursework soon, and will go into more detail about next year. For now, something more important:
I will be working at Google SF this summer and need HOUSING! So far the best things I have seen have turned out to be too expensive or Nigerian scammers. If you or someone you know has an apartment of variable size they would be interested in renting out to responsible, nice, clean Google interns this summer for 10 weeks June – Aug, please let me know! Just comment or e-mail and I’ll send my phone number and more information. Here’s a craigslist posting: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/sbw/1167252301.html reposted below as well.
Thank you if you have any leads! Lunch of me for anyone whose help leads to an apartment : )

Greetings everyone. As I’m sure has already been obvious, I haven’t been posting much recently. Thank you if you’re still checking in and reading; I suggest sticking to RSS or e-mail updates so you don’t get frustrated waiting for irregular updates. I am hopeful that I will be better able to blog about my time with Google this summer, as opposed to last, as there will be fewer confidentiality issues and maybe I can talk more about the fun things that I will be doing or, at the very least, all the fun food I’ll be eating.
Right now I am busy being swamped with finals, as followers of my banal Twitter will be well aware. Feel free to follow me @samjackson if you are looking for more fast-paced updates about my everyday trials and tribulations here at Yale or wherever I may be. I just finished one 20 page paper about Female Bisexuality and Sexual Fluidity for my Chromosomes and Behavior / Sexual Behavior class, I’m currently working on a 20 page paper about Racial Drafting and Cross-Racial Ownership Claims for Mixed Individuals, which is due Monday, and then I also have to complete a ~15 page art-crime paper. I have already had my last Chinese tests and Oral Exam, and will be doing a cute Chinese skit with some classmates on Tuesday.
After that, it’s home free, mostly, and I’ll probably be out of New Haven on May 7 or 8. If you’re in Boston from then until June 5, let me know and I would be happy to meet up and hang out. I will be leaving for California probably around June 6, and will be there until August 15 or thereabouts. After that I am home for a short while before goign away to Peking University for a study abroad semester! You can read more about the Yale-PKU program if you are interested, and I will be posting more about that soon — at last a subject that is fresh and exciting to blog about!
Just wanted to check in, say hello, and again remind everyone that I am happy to take questions and will write back promptly if you comment or send an e-mail. Always happy to have my Yale experience inform the searching / decisions / idle musings of others.
Lots of love,
Sam
I'm currently a junior at Yale University and I've been blogging about college admissions and higher education marketing trends since I began my college application process in 2005. I now also write about my experience here at Yale. I just got back from studying abroad at Peking University this past Fall 2009 in Beijing, China!
