I went in to visit and help out the Taylor AD team today, and I had come up with a sort of motivational speech for the occasion. I, however, was never actually called on to talk to them as a group, and thus, the speech ended up being unnecessary. Instead, it’ll reside here in my […]
Well, the end of the quarter has come, and almost all classes ended earlier today. The end of things can be bittersweet, but here, the emotion is mostly relief. With 10 week quarters, midterms begin as early as week 3 and last through week 10, meaning that most classes are more sprinting than marathoning. But […]
Every time I’ve double-posted so far, it’s been linking my other blog to a post here, usually when I write a particularly thoughtful post that I like enough to put in both places. In this case, however, I figured the topic is more academic than usual, so I put it in there and am linking […]
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 […]
