Last week, I ordered a MacBook Pro from the Stanford Bookstore. With educational discounts, I got a monster of a notebook and an iPod nano (which I’ve yet to play with). Just because I feel like boasting, here’s a rundown of the specs: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7500 (2.2 Ghz)2 GB DDR2 RAM @ […]
How I Beat High School
I like to think I “beat” high school. I can look back on those four years and feel proud of what I accomplished, and I’m going to the college I want to go to, the one I thought was too good for me.Based on that, here’s what I think I did to be successful, however […]
Wondering about Wonders
On the bus to Project Graduation, I got into a discussion about the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. As we tried to discuss the various wonders, we soon realized that we couldn’t actually remember all seven (we forgot the Temple of Artemis).

I’m on hold for a little until I can either find enough inspiration to write something amazing or I finish test-writing so I can get back to this.

Therefore, my mom decided to switch our family provider, with a throw-in of new phones.Out of the box, mine looked pretty cool. It flips open—my last phone was just a bar—allowing me to emulate the cinematic phone pick-up. It feels thinner and […]
Mostly satisfied, but really just want to move on. It’s confusing to write about writing, especially when it ended up as a stream-of-conscious. This morning, I plopped into my chair, eager to begin my writing practice. I had an amazing thread: students hate writing because they’re forced to write on topics they don’t care about. […]
I think this is substantial enough. I’ll just be working to tighten the writing and add to the fluency. This morning, I plopped into my chair, eager to begin my writing practice. I had an amazing thread: students hate writing because they’re forced to write on topics they don’t care about. With a blank screen […]
