Oh, Omar…
On Friday I had an interesting run-in with my apartment-mate, Omar. But for this to be appropriately appreciated, some background needs to be established. Omar has been having a little problem getting up and going to class. After about the first two weeks, his daily attendance began petering out until he was regularly missing Plant,…

What a Weekend!
For many people, a title like this would begin a sordid tale of a crazy Halloween party involving alcohol, beautiful women, and memorable behavior. However, in case you didn’t already realize I was a geek, my crazy weekend story involves the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire (see the title link), carving pumpkins, Olney Field of Screams, and…

Today has been rough, and there’s still a lot more ahead. It started with Developmental Bio, after which I went jogging around the loop for Jogging class, as opposed to the track. The day was just too beautiful to not enjoy for at least a little portion of it. After that I had to hurry…

However, any remaining grace I may have felt for the class evaporated faster than isopropyl alcohol when my partner Amir and I began the activity. So much…

Cherries and Fire Alarms
I was doing physics homework before I got distracted popping cherries, into my mouth. Such succulent fruits! Neat adventure this morning: The very moment I stepped into the shower, the fire alarm in my apartment went off, immediately transforming what should have been a very enjoyable time into a moment of awkward. I debated continuing…

Winter Break
After several months away battling such foes as “Assignments” and “Exams”, I have once again returned to the home of my immediate kin. Painstakingly my computer, Tess, has been reconstructed in yet another transient home. Currently, I am surrounded by those belongings deemed necessary for my survival during the upcoming month. Up next: Christmas, New…
