Yesterday was my last day of classes, and I think it’s time to indulge in the old cliche of, “Damn, that went faster than I expected!” I have one-eighth of college almost officially out of the way, sans the three finals I hope to finish before Wednesday next week. Grades don’t come up in polite [...]
ETA: Google circa 2001. No Twitter, no Wikipedia. How ephemeral will these cybercultural landmarks turn out to be in the future?
It’s currently 3:30pm and I am sitting in my computer science class feeling rather unengaged while the computer says, “Tick, tock, tick, tock, BOOM” for a demonstration of conditionals in Python. Introduction to Computing is [...]
I miss Leila both more and less than I thought I would.
When the head of Students for Obama sends you an email saying that the meeting is at 5:30 along with the Young Democrats, and the schedule of events posted throughout the Student Union says it’s at 6:30, listen to the email.
The fact that the [...]
I moved into Bryn Mawr today. The quad is, ah, “cozy” — but everyone I’m rooming with seems nice and I’m hoping to get over my shyness eventually because I think there’s a lot of potential for me to be happier here than I ever was in high school. There was lots of free food [...]
1. I eventually stumble out of bed and make my way to the Great Downstairs, where I’m greeted by this rhythmically groaning lump blanketed on the couch. It turns out that it’s my dad, who somewhat foolishly ate some rancid white fish salad that had been sitting in his car for a day last night. [...]
I’m feeling lazy, this means that you’re not getting anything close to a cohesive entry.
My semester is winding down to a close, and I’m really very happy about that. I think. At least, it’ll be good to think I have free time to pursue the books I want to read and do the creative things [...]
There’s this guy who lives in my room. I don’t have much longer with this guy, honestly, (out May 9th whooo) so I thought I would get a nice, formulaic, Bitchin’ About My Roommate post out before the windows closes once and for all.
My first impression of the guy was that he seemed, well, [...]
Ahem. If I might be so arrogant as to quote myself:
Don’t you hate when your vocabulary is truncated by your inability to confidently pronounce words and phrases you toss about with wild abandon in your writing? There’s nothing that sticks quite so fiercely in the craw of a pedantic logophile than fumbling the pronunciation of [...]
It would appear that the readers of Valamity are far too astute to be put over by what was possibly the most blatant April Fools’ joke of all time. High fives all around!
Okay, so I had a long paragraph about being all inundated in the college application process for the past few months that detailed [...]
I’m a nervous guy.
Today, I got my American History paper back at the beginning of class. Once I found the correct pile, anyway. I already knew that I had gotten a 93 on the thing, and I was somewhat disappointed but not surprised as such because I didn’t put that much effort into it. [...]
