First Night

So, I've finally created a blog-- something I said I would do weeks ago.

But now that I've finally got this space to write in, I'm at a bit of a loss for words...

I guess I should introduce myself first: I'm a 24-year old Ivy League graduate, trying to make his way through the world from the view of his tiny studio apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

I wanted a name that would capture my Asian American heritage, but also be somewhat fun and describe my feelings of aimlessness and eagerness to learn-- so one of my coolest friends in the world came up with "Yellow American Grasshopper".

I hope you all will enjoy reading this!!

Some random thoughts today:

• One of my best friends from high school is getting married on Saturday and I'm really excited for her--her fiancé is extremely cool! I've already gotten my suit pressed and I'm sure it's gonna be a great time, seeing everyone again. :)
• Thursday night's "Survivor" episode wasn't as horrible as I imagined it could be-- I was pleasantly surprised that the Asian males on the show were pretty well-built and everyone in that tribe was fluent in American English. The other tribes also seemed to have pretty decent representatives for their respective ethnicities, although the white guy who got exiled was pretty dumb; not only did the fool lie about knowingly stealing the chicken from the Asian team, but he was also the only one to refer to other contestants by their race! =P
• Work was pretty good this week. Things were busy, so I felt really productive. And one of my coworkers is going on vacation for a week and a half, so I get to keep a watch on his projects. Fun!

Anyway, I better get some beauty rest so that I can be fresh for Love's wedding.

Cheers!
