News

Hey guys!!! How are you? I miss you all so much! It's been a while since last time I give you updates... (sorry Dr. Rushton and Susan, internship report is still under process... soon, I promise!) And now it's time!

As some of you may know, I had passed my deadline of looking for a job (due to my visa status) so I packed up my stuff and came home two weeks ago. It was a sad decision to leave the US, especially knowing that I won’t be able to see you guys again in a long long time. I wasn’t able to call you guys up individually cause my phone died on me in the very last couple days and everything happened too fast (and there’s too many stuffs to pack… oh man…) that I didn’t even have time to think through everything I should have done before I left. But I do think about all of you all the time, all the good times and hard times we’ve been through together. Thank you all for being great friends in the past two years and four months so I knew at all times that I was not alone.

Being home has been great. I’ve been eating a lot of good food (but I miss bagels, good cheese, good wine, and good beer) and meeting lots of families and friends. I’ve spent some time on the beach breathing the ocean air—yes, the weather has been like summer in the US! (but I miss the gorgeous white snow and the smell of air coming out from the old fashion heater). All have been great, but I miss my life in New York and in Bloomington. BUT, the greatest thing happened yesterday—I got a job offer from Cloud Gate Dance Company!!! I interviewed with them last Tuesday and have been holding on to my cell phone twenty four seven (literally); you all know how painful it is to wait for the phone call. Can’t describe the complicated feelings in my heart right now but I have to let you all know this great news! They’ve offered me a position in the production team and we’ll talk about the details of my responsibilities next week; maybe I’ll be able to be part of the touring team and go visit you guys soon! Keep your fingers cross for me!

I so much wish you are around to give me a hug. Miss you lots and lots. Write me emails at salina.yeh@gmail.com or call me at my Internet phone 917-652-3098 to leave message (address: No. 1-12 Hua-hsing Street, Hualien 970, Taiwan). Give me some updates of your life too, so I know all my friends in the continent on the other side of the world are doing great.
