Two weeks ago, I gave my practice presentation on the research I had done for the RBA below. The day after that, I went into San Francisco with my sister to a Ben Folds concert. I happen to be a big Ben Folds fan, but until then, I had never seen him live. Which is […]
(If you’re curious, I just posted my RBA from my writing class in my other blog. It’s long, but potentially interesting) Thanks to the work of our wonderful residential assistants (RAs), my current dorm plans a lot of fun events, including laser tag, a 49ers game, and more. This Friday evening, we went ice skating. […]
(Here’s my RBA for my writing class, the Rhetoric of Research. Unfortunately, I didn’t work through it as much as I had wanted and am not entirely confident in the depth of my research and the validity of my thesis, but I’m not horribly embarrassed of it, so read if you care. Any comments are […]
When I need to get work done, I sit in the chair I’m sitting in now and go for it. True, my room and computer do provide many potential distractions, but I have all of my comforts here as well. I could go to the library, but I feel like I work well enough here. […]
During my last semester senior year in high school, my classmates and I began playing weekly Ultimate Frisbee games, and for as much fun as I was having, I realized that a significant hindrance to my effectiveness (beyond poor tossing skills, which was common to almost all of us) was general poor fitness. With quick […]
Excuse my silence; I’ve been having a blast. My schedule has come down thick, but I can now pick two more classes that were locked last year for requirements. And so, I’m currently in math class so far beyond my understanding that not only can I not answer homework questions, I don’t even know how […]
I often like to give bad, ridiculous advice because the results are often hilarious. Or maybe because I’m misanthropic and like to see people give me dirty looks. Regardless, one of my favorites was to yell, “Push and shove!” whenever a large group of people were pushing through a doorway or trying to get down […]
I happen to be in a highly distracted, yet entertained mood after watching the legendary Cane Toads documentary once shown in my high school biology classes. My sister had told me funny stuff about it, and upon finally viewing it, I can vouch it’s certainly as good as reports. Recommended on a day you’re in […]
Yesterday morning, I IMed George during the day about potentially going to see “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” that evening. We had mentioned it previously, but even I, attendee of opening day Star Wars three times (including one midnight), didn’t feel the obligation to go. I’m not sure many people knew about it, but yes, […]
Once every two years, my desire to be anywhere other than in front of a TV evaporates. I tough out the repetitive, vapid commercials in that desire to watch sports I would never even consider watching otherwise. It’s been awhile since Turin, but I remember sitting in my living room at home, watching NBC late […]
