blog & collective

Moving to WordPress, that clandestine lover of mine. Maybe that’ll inspire more frequent posting. Or maybe that’ll just inspire insanity. Not sure why I do these things to myself.

More bullet points! Lately:

• 23 unit quarter… out of possible 20 units. What? Yes. 4 classes, 1 lab, 1 research position, and 1 TA job. No units or pay for TAing this quarter, but such is life.
• Periodic contemplation of social suicide. Group studying needs to be phased out of my life plan.
• Taking a fiction writing class forces me to read and forces me to write. This is a good thing.
• Mediocre short story for my genomics seminar (Pandora’s Box, unedited on Parting Pigeons) won the 2008-09 Stanford Introductory Seminars Excellence Award. I plan to be socially inept at the awards luncheon in approximately three weeks.
• As always when busy, I am once again taking up projects in earnest. Extempore, Kethadros conversion to WordPress, short stories, Banjocats…

In other news, a majority of the friends I live with are going abroad next quarter. It saddens me to see them go, so all that can be done is party it up while they’re still here. Hence, OH THE PALOMANATEE, the manatee-themed nautical no-pants party this Saturday, at which I have committed myself as the 3rd party ship-placer of BEERTLESHIP.

I will now proceed to sleep for 6.5 hours then take a midterm. That is all.

(FYI, Parting Pigeons has been updated regularly AND has an RSS feed. Handy, I know.)
