What even is my life these days.
Explored Eastern Europe and successfully brought everybody home not much worse for the wear, got a couple of internship offers for the summer, and am leaving tomorrow to go clamber around on some active volcanoes for a while. I'd say this was a pretty successful week. More details when I'm not about to faceplant into my keyboard from exhaustion, -

Onwards to adventure!
I'll be off wandering Europe and a bit of Africa for four months starting tomorrow. I've got a travel blog for school set up over here. Wish me luck, and I'll catch you guys on the flip side! -
A long-expected journey
Well, in two days I’ll be boarding a plane to Europe. The reality of the PGS trip hit me yesterday with an intensity not unlike that of the asteroid at the end of the Cretaceous period, and it occurred to me that I am so not ready for this ( Read more... ) -
Auld Lang Syne and such.
It's the last day of 2012, and it doesn't feel like it should be. This is the first time since I started keeping this blog that I haven't been in Charlotte for New Year's Eve, and I am trying but failing to not mope about it ( Read more... ) -
Still alive!

2027

My transhumanism kick has only intensified, and has also spread to most everyone else on Fourth High. We've been doing a lot of talking about the issues that the game addresses, and somehow decided to turn it into a ( Read more... ) -
Seems all that talk of robots and uranium actually got me somewhere after all.
So if things go as planned, I miiiiight wind up with a job over the summer curating articles for an international group of science writers with an amusingly SHIELD-like acronym for a name.
It’s a trial run and nothing’s set in stone yet, but oh my lord, this is totally a thing I can do. My first potential task is to review an advance copy of a ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I'm home for Thanksgiving but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm on break. I've got a project and a debate to present the Tuesday after I get back, a sprawling list of supplies to buy for studying abroad next semester, scholarship and internship essays to complete, a metric ton of Italian to catch up on, and relatives to entertain all week. Oh, yes ( Read more... ) -
I live!
I've been scarce for a while. Sorry about that -- now that midterms have passed and WriSoMiFu is occurring, I should, you know, actually be around LJ for a bit!
I've been doing quite a bit of creative stuff to ward off classwork stress: learning more complicated songs on guitar, knitting a scarf for my best friend before she goes off to China, re- ( Read more... )
