Awards

I received quite a few awards during my 4 years at Wagner, counting all the certificates & plates that still can be found inside the closet, it turns out 11. Among them. the ones I like most were ones from my own bio department, the reason is simple, they came with checks, $$$$$ really make me happy!! ( sound so material !)

This one is not from my department, no check, just honor!

Wagnerian

It was fun to read my school paper "Wagnerian", but the truth is although I was a member of the writting staff, here is the article I don't even remember writing it.

My article is the lower one, titled "ISA is making a comeback".

One thing I regret still....

The other day, I was going through some personal stuffs and found letters and pics from Gianmarco who was a language center student from Italy. We became very good friends at school. We kept in touch, I even visited him in his hometown in Italy one summer.

He was a very interesting and extremely good looking guy, he was so popular at school, I really mean POPULAR! I remember when we go back to our dorms on 14th floor, we need to take elevator, and guess what happens, a lots girls would just wait in front of elevator and wanted to ride the elevator with him ( so they can get closer to him), he was like a big star with fans all over the campus.

The reason I want to mention him here is because I screw up big time and lose our friendship. (What I did was another story...) This is probably the only thing back in the college time that I still regret until now.

I don't think he will ever has the chance to read this post, but I feel deeply inside, really sorry for him.

Gianmarco, please forgive me.

he sent me this picture of his vacation in Santorini, Greece.

Here is one of his letters.

Here is a part of a long letter he wrote. Way back then, No emails, everything was hand written, now looking at them, they are really memorable with human touch.

Evelyn, the lady who changed my life

Evelyn, the ELS student advisor, she was very friendly and helpful to me, make long story short, I feel that without her influence and assistance, I wouldn't have stayed in Wagner college for my undergraduate study. She is a very important person in my life. Thank you Evelyn !!

Why I create this blog

noreply@blogspirit.com (Victor Tsai) — Wed, 30 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0800

This is not technically a blog per se, it is more like a memoir place for me, it serves two purposes; one is to keep everything related to my time at Wagner college digitally; another good reason is easier for my lost friends to find me through the internet. More stuff will be added soon.
