-najm
when will you be in ga? let me know...i'm only there for a week but maybe it's the same time...let me know k.
Hey Baj. Well I haven't booked my ticket yet, but alls I know is I gotta be hooked up with a place to live in Boston come August 1 or I'm toast. So, yeah, about two weeks prior, I should be a homeless bum on the East Coast, trying to make sense out of everyone's awful accents. So the 20th or theres abouts is possible, though cutting it a bit close. Hmm... Ve shal seeee.
Hey salaam,
SO guess what, I turned down the offer in DC. I was supposed to join on August 20th - but my father has gotten really ill in the past few months, so I have decided to figure out what I am gonna do with my degree in Jersey. Most likely start my own firm w/some friends who are graduating. Any adviiice?
Owl are you going to Haaaaavad? If you do, you have to speak in that accent, or freakin else.
Owl is goin to MIT. Cuz some nice folks there thought they could learn me science journalism with their special fellowship. So do I still gotta sound Bostonian stupid, or can I stick with my normal stupid?
MIT nice! mashallah se. Science journalism - what a niche market. MIT rejected me when i applied for undergrad by the way, so I hate them.
owl's gonna be back in the country! YAY
what is science journalism, though?
ayan, sending you and your family many duas, buddy. hope all's well with your father's health.
os - eager to hear the horror stories about your first stint with pregnant women! wait, or is this your second?
naj - hope the transfer goes smoothly! and awww, how shweet about seeing yr fiancee soon. tell her she's on my list since she never writes anymore. also, looks like they might be coming up in august? you gonna be around?
wy - what a pity it didn't work out, but i'A, we'll do an east coast thing! :) i'm sure LD has a few tricks to teach ZP.
owl - congrats on the fancy pants learnin' yr gonna be getting! oh man, if you are in boston, you have to eat at wagamama's! seriously. for me. *dies*
ay - aw, man! sorry to hear about your father and pray that he gets well soon. also sorry to hear that you are keeping up your person non grata persona and not coming to dc! phooey! as for advice - hire a good secretary/billing agent! that's the worst part of having your own firm - collecting money from the clients!
yz - you got yr tix yet or what?! (interroschedule!)
So Baj, when we on for? I wrote you at kukamangaboots. You got it?
Yaz, as Ayan guessed, science journalism is about as niche as you can get with journalism specializations. It's about breaking down science issues for media coverage - how to turn what Dexter does into valid news for Homer Simpson. You gotta understand all the jargon, know how to process data, and do your own science-based investigative journalism.
In short - science journalism is SERIOUS nerd-dom.
*dons glasses*
