NEFFA
NEFFA happened. I went. It was good.
This year was notable for Not Seeing People. There were a lot of people who I wanted to see but only saw for about half a second. For example, it took until 5:30 on Saturday for me to see chlomar, I never did get to dance with meanfreepath, and I didn't get to see or dance with Will K. until late Saturday.
I'd been a little worried about a biostats midterm that was happening on Monday morning, so I studied some while sitting on the bleachers. It was particularly nice during the waltz session (which led to some much-appreciated "big-picture" realizations about the material). Now that the test has passed, I think I did very well and am glad that I took the time to study.
For the sake of remembering and humor, here are some of my favorite quotes from this year:
"I'm on it like chicken on a raft!"
"This isn't an advanced medley. It's just Lisa Greenleaf going insane."
"Blues zwiefachers, someone needs to start doing them."
"Then you get all Bayesian on its ass."
"The Swarthmore sticks have spikes." (regarding Morris sticks)
