Being a person who goes down to Pomona a lot, I have a really nice ability. I can say "Hey, you're going to Into the Woods, *right*? If you give me money I can get you tickets by tomorrow. Lots of people are going Friday evening." and have people start handing me money. It's great! Yesterday I bought 6 tickets, today I bought 8. That's 14 people I' ( Read more... )

And it's the best job ever! Apparently my job is to work with 6 insanely smart 5th graders (as in David Harris has been working with them, teaching them to program in C) and get math to be challenging, fun, and interesting. What does this mean? It means I get to teach them more along the general course of math progression that schools normally ( Read more... )

SCAMfest was last night, and was awesome! TONS of a capella music, and all of it awesome. There was a higher concentration of pop-type songs than I would have liked, especially seeing as I prefer really choral stuff to soloist + background singers.

Silly needing to use large fonts so that 幫 doesn't look like a black smudge.

Dangit, it's even worse than I thought.

Why does EVERY E80 section next semester need to have 8:00 am MWF?

Obviously three tools just isn't enough for me. Apparently I think I'm too good for tools. Because I concocted this crazy idea of building myself a phillips head screwdriver in addition to the required flathead one. At first it was just one of those wacky ideas. You know, like "I should learn to unicycle", or "we should do a cross-country hike", or ( Read more... )

Today was so incredibly unproductive. I meant to get lots of stuff done, but 1) the first problem on bio said "look at the book you don't have with you", 2) I didn't know how to do the first problem in physics, and 3) physics lab stuff happened got pushed off for short periods of time frequently. And then there was trick or cheese. So basically, my ( Read more... )

I'm bored, because I should do bio, but I really don't want to. So I'm going to bed. Goodnight.
