Life and Stuff
Spring semester is over. All A's. Social life exploding (at least by my standards) thanks to Facebook. No longer starving myself. Tried some new things. Wrote a lot. Spending my summer in classes.

If You've Got It
Most of you by now have probably heard about the earthquake that hit Haiti Tuesday. If, by chance, you haven't, you can check out the whole story as it developed here: http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/01/14/haiti.updates/index.html?hpt=T2 ( Read more... )
