Em Lewin:
So, Joel told me you're gonna go to Columbia for grad school. James Brennan:
Yeah. Em Lewin:
Wow. I'm at NYU right now. James Brennan:
Oh really? Oh, That's cool. Maybe I'll run into you on the streets of NYC. Em Lewin:
What are you studying? Em Lewin:
Journalism. I want to be, like, a travel essayist. But I want to report on the real state of the world. You know, like Charles Dickens, for example, wrote what you might call travel books but he visited prisons and mental asylums. Em Lewin:
That's cool. James Brennan:
Is it? Em Lewin:
Yeah. James Brennan:
Okay. Em Lewin:
No, it is. But why do you have to go to grad school for that? James Brennan:
No, that's a valid question. But actually journalism is kind of like this old boys' network still. You need the right connections. It's very Ivy League, very exclusive. Stupid. I think my mother would rather I intern as some Fortune 500 company or something like that. Em Lewin:
Fuck that, right? James Brennan:
Yeah
