April is unnecessarily cruel. It knows that all of us students are staggering under the weight of final projects, papers, presentations, and exams, so what does it do? Taunts us. With a succession of incredibly lovely days. Just try to nestle yourself in a corner of the library on a day that is sunny, hovering around mid-70s, with gentle refreshing ( Read more... )

Here's where I post stuff for LC!

Maisha's LC Real Life Blog

It's still a little bit under construction -- I need to pick up my camera and David needs to post my full bio, but that's where it is. However, for your convenience, I'll continue posting here, too.

Last weekend it was sunny enough that I got a sunburn. (An extremely mild one.) This weekend the forecast is snow.

And people say global warming is a myth. Fools.

Well, I survived the weekend. And I didn't even pull any all-nighters. I was in bed before 3am every night. An unforeseen consequence of forcing myself to do practically nothing but write ( Read more... )
