So there's this thing
Somehow I got named to this honors society, the Andrew Carnegie Society. It came with some benefits and as far as I know is a direct result of my qpa *shrugs ( Read more... ) -
Happy Halloween!
Herr Vogel is my goddamn HERO. He decided that instead of dressing up in an elaborate costume for Halloween, he'd dress up as a German physics professor. So he taught the entire lecture (only twenty minutes before the quiz) in fluent German--and everyone in the class understood at least most of what he was trying to teach. :DDD -

Soapbox
I'd like to make one thing perfectly, inescapably clear. I am not, and never will be, a computer science major. The next person to call me a CS major, say I should be, or predict smugly that one day I will follow in Wes's footsteps is really asking for a punch in the face ( Read more... ) -

When this circle of ribs keeps working on its own
I hate this time of year. I've been enjoying the slack time and the hanging out with people I don't ordinarily spend time with--but then I look up and someone else is gone, the KGB meeting is half-empty, graduation is creeping up. I need to start finding best friends I can keep for more than a year (but I should count my blessings). I should stop ( Read more... ) -
Silver lining?
Looks like I'll be in Pittsburgh this summer after all. Guess I don't need to worry about finding a subletter any more. This puts a bit of a damper on my planned awesome Friday. Cuz I needed one before my planned workful weekend.
