As soon as we sat down, I was struck by the overwhelming need to pull out my thermo textbook and continue working.
Add/Dropping into a good situation
September 19, 2010
By Tuesday, I came to the realization that the combined course load was, to use a technical Oberlinian term, a shit-ton of work. A shit-ton, by the way, is a highly accurate and precise unit measuring the overwhelmingness of a given task (roughly equivalent to 17.5 shitloads, or 0.86 metric shit-tonnes).
Add/Drop Fun, As Usual
September 12, 2010

Maybe indie music fans.
Semester Review, Part I: With Doodles
May 8, 2010
I gave my first impressions of my classes at the beginning of the semester, but I never really came back and described them more fully. So now I'm going to give a more detailed view of what I've been up to.
Something about the chem/biochem department
May 1, 2010
Now, I even dream about research. And I mean that quite literally.
Creative Writing, Hopes, and Dreams.
April 26, 2010
Applications for 300-level creative writing classes are coming up, and I am biting my fingernails. So rather than work on my actual application, here is a look at the gruff world of major-choosing, plus a declaration of love for my professors.
The classes for which I registered
