Well the thing is, Science fiction, Harvard Summer School was a 4 week course. That means I had 8 weeks left to try out things I like and enjoy. As a chief editor of a newsletter for 2-3 years, I decided to apply for an internship at the Korea Press center to find out how journalism works in the real world. And it just happened to be that I got in. And about the biological research - just because my intended major is economics, does that mean I can’t be a science lover? Science has always been one of my strongest subjects, and yes, I participated in the genetic enginnering portion of the current ongoing research in the research lab. I worked there for 6 hours everyday, from 2pm to 8pm, after interning at the Korea Press Center from 8am to 1pm, which was around 5 hours. I do not understand why you have to assume so many things in a negative manner - that I simply checked my name off some list and things like that. I honestly think that you are looking at me in a bad light just because of my parents’ income and their “connections,” as you say, which I am not interested in and have no control over.
