I just got another job with the Environmental Studies department as a peer advisor. And by "just got," I mean my first day is today and I'm at work at this moment.

On va danser à poil dans les rêves de tous les garçons
Voler d'étoile en étoile sur le dos d'un dragon

It's so weird to think that I'm already done with my freshman year in college. Yesterday I was thinking about how I would be today if I ended up going to Wesleyan or Pitzer or any of the colleges I got into that aren't worth mentioning, but I think Santa Cruz was a good choice.
