This is definitely one of those times, one of those moments that absolutely has to go into the “stupid but absurdly awesome ideas I did in college.” Or at least aided and abetted.
My friends, with a divided double dorm room, just created a Narnia wardrobe. I kid you not, my friends, Meg and Liz’s [...]

Fall break has begun! Reed campus was more silent this weekend than I have ever seen it. Of course, I went out these past few nights, so I haven’t been around any of the wild parties. If such things exist. I’d rather sleep, frankly.
But at any rate, our week-long vacation has started. It’s going to [...]

Oh, Reed library, how I love you. The quietest library I have ever, ever seen; it’s almost creepy sometimes. But it’s useful to complete work, if I don’t have my computer. I’ve been attempting to write my essay for this Saturday for the past week and it’s not. working. Herodotus needs to take a short walk [...]

I went to Seattle this past weekend to visit my siblings; it was definitely all I expected. We went to Pike Place Market on Saturday — I bought two posters from Golden Collectables. I still haven’t figured ouut how to get them to stay on my walls. I may be the only person that can’t [...]

I am sitting in the Dorothy Johanssen house (the DoJo, tutoring center, in case you’ve forgotten) awaiting one of my discples. She’s 15 minutes late and I’m wondering if I’ll still get paid for sitting here without any of my books or my computer. (Which was, by the way, a really stupid move, but *I* [...]
Public transport in Puerto Rico: taxis. And a small subway that goes around the capital and not much else; 100 miles away and extremely useless to the other 2.5 million people on the island.
Public transport in Portland: TRIMET, Amtrack, Light Rail, Greyhound… And there’s probably more, but I haven’t bothered looking them up yet. Are [...]

The glimmer and glamor of college is slowly fading, mostly because Economics and Calculus are breaking my brain. My brain is at that point where it’s begging for a break, especially since I have two tests in these subjects, one right after the other practically. The problem sets due tomorrow is still unfinished and mostly [...]

(Happy birthday, Ananya!)
I’m surprised at how much time I spend at a dorm that is not mine. This can’t be normal, but I have officially received the ’squatter’ nickname and, apparently, I’m an adopted dormie of the Fantasy dorm house. According to them, anyway; Chittick movie night still came first (and no, it was not [...]

Writing this essay has been the most painful thing I’ve ever done. I’m supposed to write 5 pages on why the Iliad ends with the burial of Hektor by Saturday. Five brilliant pages dripping in awesome. Hah! Fun stuff. This essay does not want to be written. I have about four paragraphs in single spaced, [...]

(On a brief note that has nothing to do with today’s post, my blog insists on changing to the next date at 8 PM. It is very weird and quite infuriating. If I write a blog post at 11:59 PM, I expect to be recognized for it!)
Everyone has days like this. (I assume.) Everyone has [...]
