random observation

I decided that instead of not saying anything about my life in detail
i could spat out stuff that I have yet thought through, most of my time in Dartmouth, I am just rushing from place to place, and haven't have enough time to reflect on things :

Art history department dinner- realized that the department which is located next to the Baker library is used to be the Museum ( studio art department used to be there after the museum is moved , then occupied by art history department)

The everchanging of Dartmouth is witnessed by most staff and faculty more than student
Talked to a Safety and Security officer who has been here since 1982. According to her, she knows the nasty details of the parents ( who are Dartmouth alums) of current students!
As people know, the legacy is really strong here, most dartmouth alum want to send their children back to Dartmouth

CEO of Ebay (who is a dartmouth alum) gave a talk:
his son is a 2009 Graduate of Dartmouth too, he married his wife who is one year older than him in Dartmouth, and ever since then coordinated with his wife for 25 years of how both their careers could fit with each other to start family, advance in corporate ladder etc. All networking starts with curiosity and authenticity of character

The first women editor of the Dartmouth newspaper is now the chief editor of International Herald Tribune , she came back to talk about international journalism, says that her main motivation to go after her career is the lifestyle that she wants ( being abroad) , rather than merely journalism ( cause its very low pay)

Network yourself into a job!!! that's what everybody advices, have curiosity with people !!
