Choosing courses is an overlooked art form.

In this post, I talk about exciting things that have happened to me over the past couple of weeks.

A list of the things I've been doing and thinking about this week, including Nazgul costumes, three lectures, and accidentally screwing up the basis of democracy.

What's the point of that extra application essay, and what should you write?

And of course, what did I find at the top of Black Butte mountain?--well... crazy aggressive chipmunks and a fellow Obie.

After a brief walk in the crisp night air during which I considered making pirate jokes, we arrived at the hospital.

Halloween, laughing at myself, adjusting to my new “ruggedness,” and lots of probable cavities.

I can deal with the fact that on my list of things I am excited about I included "classes" and "renewable energy sources" because I have come to grips with the fact that I am a huuuuuuuuuge nerd.

I had the good fortune of being in NYC last week when Ishmael Beah '04 and Professor Dan Chaon celebrated an evening of Oberlin mentorship.

I love the gym. I love sweating. I love running. I love lifting things. I love feeling my muscles quake.... Confession #12: I'm a gym rat.

Greetings, children of the night! Today's entry is a series of snapshots of my triumphant return to Oberlin, including lectures, geeky joy, and local apple cider.

Shishta-who? Shishta-where? Shishta-how? Shishta-wouk! (And many other tasty things.)
