I am quite positive all owners of personal blogs go through this one phase, in which they wake up one day and decide that they have too much crap on their blogs. You can usually tell someone has hit this phase when their blog, once full of widgets and links and images, and moving bits […]

Fitter Happier
So the news is, I’ve found a job. Or rather, it has found me. Dropped onto my lap in the most unexpected way a week ago. I went asking about a volunteer opportunity, was invited to apply for an internship, and ended up being offered a full-time position. All in the span of 3 days. […]
Password
I don’t remember the password that I’ve been using for all my past password-protected posts, so the most recent one has a new password that I think will be easy enough for me to remember. So if you had a password before, there’s a new one. Email / Facebook message me or something, and as […]
First follower
I’m in the middle of doing research on the genocide in Rwanda, which is quite depressing, but I think it’s worth taking a few minutes to blog. I won’t get another chance to blog on a February 29, not till 4 years later! I haven’t got anything particularly profound or interesting to say, so I’ll […]
Oh what a circus
I saw my sociology professor at the Grill today. He asked if I had a good weekend. I said yes, I had a very good weekend. He went, “And by ‘good’, I’m assuming you mean ‘academically productive’?” “Of course. What else could I have meant?” And we laughed a laugh that showed we both knew how […]
A drink while you wait?
A few non-mundane things: 1. Very exciting news — I got tickets to a Radiohead concert in Kansas City! I’m watching Radiohead play live. Radiohead! In four weeks, my life will be a lot closer to being complete. I’ve spent many a night, playing Radiohead songs on repeat, wanting to leave behind the homework on my […]
I love basil, and other things
Ahhhhhhh my biological clock has been completely out of whack lately. I’ve been taking 4-hour evening naps after classes, then at midnight I’d have a dinner equivalent, then study for a few hours, and go back to bed at 5 AM. Then wake up at 7:30 AM, go to class, blablabla same thing all over […]
Going Native
Yahhh so I’m going on that fall break trip after all. So me not being able to go did not materialize into solid shit the way I thought it would. Life, you ain’t going all-out bad after all. Oh, and no, my sort of troubles are not ones involving classes (not failing any), males (none […]
Bag of Chips
WOOOOOO I’ll be staying with an American Indian tribe in October! We’ll be going to Cherokee Nation, to its headquarters in Oklahoma, for a week-long service trip. It’s the same organization that took me to Indiana to stay with the Amish last year. I admit, I hardly know anything about the Native American heritage and […]
First class
Tomorrow will be my first class at the Université de Nantes; it’s going to be a modern philosophy class. Philosophy in english is hard enough to understand. I remember trying to read Kant for one of my philosophy classes, and completely gave up. I ended up going to classes without doing ANY reading. I also […]
