the Sam Jackson College Experience » summer http://www.samjackson.org/college all the exciting parts, none of the heavy debt burden Sun, 05 Sep 2010 21:05:47 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Finals Season, Spring 2009 http://www.samjackson.org/college/2009/05/02/finals-season-spring-2009/ http://www.samjackson.org/college/2009/05/02/finals-season-spring-2009/#comments Sat, 02 May 2009 20:13:26 +0000 Sam Jackson http://www.samjackson.org/college/?p=510 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
