We fenced Harvard last night. Two words: HOLY SHIT. Not only do they have better SAT scores and more arglye than me, but those ladies can fence. Basically, Tufts lost. In slightly more descriptive words, we got our asses handed to us. We won 3 out of 28 bouts, which is apparently the exact same score as last year. I guess the only two good ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I've updated. Thanksgiving was good; the break flew by. I got to see people who know me better than anyone at Tufts (yet), and that was nice.

The opening was classy. There was champagne, leather jackets, and a lot of pretentiously artsy conversation. Afterwords, we went for Vietnamese in China Town and ( Read more... )

I feel so fucking useless today even though the past couple of days have been a blur of work, and today probably won't be any different since I've been putting off this research paper for international relations, and it's finally caught up to me so now I'm writing about the causes (using some variation of hegemonic and/or security dilemma theory) ( Read more... )
