159 West 25th Street

So I'm done with high school finally, now here I am early on a Monday morning, off the Metro North train from Connecticut, now in my new office (more of a cubicle).

You know what's really difficult, sleeping while standing up. It's quite a challenge, I've never had to do it in the past, but there were so many people on that 7:20 train out of Cos Cob, that I had to stand. Some of the other businessmen we're sleeping just leaning against the walls. I figured if they could do it so could I... Well I can't. Hey it's harder than it seems. I was tired enough to doze off, but the second I got a little bit of sleep, I'd fall! Either my legs would buckle, or I'd literally tilt over. So the train ride was not fun, I'll have to work on grabbing one of those valuable seats, that way I can catch some shut-eye.

Got off at Grand Central Terminal, which if anyone has been there at those rush hour points, is like a human bee-hive, nothing really like it around. I escaped unharmed and walked the almost 20 blocks to the Admerasia office, where I'd start my first day.

So this VP, Sidney Yee, is in charge of my internship. He's pretty cool and to the point, took me to lunch at Monster Sushi, which is a sushi place (didn't see that coming did ya?) decorated with monster figurines (simple right?). Delicious food by the way, I completely recommend it.

Okay so what is Admerasia?! I had no idea before I was given a briefing, by Sidney, about what goes on. Admerasia is the #1 Asian American Advertising Agency in the United States. What the hopscotch does that mean? Basically this agency, gets clients who want to sell stuff (from cars to hardware) to the asian community in America, and creates a campaign for that. So they're targeting the 13 or so million asians, mainly in the three states of California, Texas and New York.

So I share an office with Dennis Clemente, I've got a window, a phone that isn't hooked up, a computer, an empty desk complete with empty drawers, a basket that's for paperwork but has none and a not too comfortable seat, but hey, I got more than I expected, I just can't wait to actually get started on some work. Till next time!
