My dorm, right in the heart of College Town.

I’ve just finished my first full week of classes at Cornell, and, other than having a nasty cold, things are going pretty well.

My schedule:

• German Detective Fiction.
• Upper Intermediate Chinese.
• History of the Modern Middle East.
• Cryptology.

For those who don’t already know, I’m a China and Asia-Pacific Studies Major, and will complete my minor in German Studies Minor next semester, making me the first person from Cornell to have a German Studies Minor.  Outside of classes, I’m a member of the Klezmer Ensemble, an office for the Jewish Student Organization, and the “Business Manager” for the Cornell Lunatic.  This is definitely gonna be one heck of a busy year.
