I feel that we spent just the right amount of time there to get a feel for the city, and get comfortable getting around there. However, if we stayed any longer it probably would have felt like too much for me. That map also makes me realize another thing; how much money I probably ended up spending!<BR/><BR/>-Jordan KamikawaWhitTrip2https://www.blogger.com/profile/07451701042197196550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170472909029204350.post-34469554963248079392009-01-22T19:57:00.000-08:002009-01-22T19:57:00.000-08:00Yong, Thank you so much for your thorough contribu...Yong, Thank you so much for your thorough contribution to the trip. As Danika said, I think the experiences both inside and outside the Jan Term "classroom" have helped shape what these few weeks have been. As students under the broad umbrella of communications disciplines, interacting and listening to the insights and advice of native New Yorkers, fellow classmates and meeting hosts have all contributed to our learning. I need to acknowledge I am grateful to all my classmates and New Yorkers for the time they've shared with us. Not only has the trip provided us with business input, a cross section of industry jobs and a look into the lives of our peers, but also given us a chance to genuflect on who we all are as 12 students and two "chaperons" living together. Thanks to each of you who've made this trip memorable.<BR/><BR/>-DerekWhitTrip2https://www.blogger.com/profile/07451701042197196550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170472909029204350.post-31466361522420955222009-01-22T19:29:00.001-08:002009-01-22T19:29:00.001-08:00I'm exhausted after looking at your map and the li...I'm exhausted after looking at your map and the list of "visited locations." Thanks for your contribution Yong. While I feel as though the meetings with media professionals shaped the way in which I think about myself as a potential journalist or other media personnel, it's also true that a number of other experiences during our time in New York contributed greatly to the overall impression of the city. I was able to draw from our excursions so much more than simple advice about where new media will take us in the next decade, etc.. While I find those tools beneficial, I'm thankful for resulting realizations about the general goodness of humanity and discovery of self though explorations of my/our own. I know now that 100% professionalism can only get you so far--and that once a certain point is reached, it becomes apparent the important lessons in life are ones that can be learned in the Empire State Building, on Staten Island, a Harlem church, or Brooklyn pizza parlor.<BR/><BR/>-Danika HeatherlyWhitTrip3https://www.blogger.com/profile/15068908540230158140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170472909029204350.post-70352782553815088172009-01-22T19:29:00.000-08:002009-01-22T19:29:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.WhitTrip3https://www.blogger.com/profile/15068908540230158140noreply@blogger.com
