Dear Tumblr (and other social media websites),
Farewell till March 1, 2011.
I will miss you, but I guess that is the point of our vacation from one another. I will learn how to spend my roughly 1 hour a day doing something better for me, like reading Ayn Rand or swimming or talking to people face to face.
Hopefully when we reunite, I will not rush back into your wanton arms too quickly and we will meet again, both a little more patient...

Santa Barbara: Sweeping Homelessness Off the... →
This is one of the most disgusting public policy initiatives I have ever seen.
What could $50,000 do for the homeless of Santa Barbara instead of relocating the public benches? What if you gave this money to an innovative entrepreneurial company to hire these people, give job training, creating a sustainably relevant business model?
What if you faced the fact you had a problem, Santa...

Life of an intern-student
I constantly have a pair of trousers and dress shoes in my back pack, a jar of peanut butter and a piece of fruit for quick consumption and protein, and at least three books.
And a toothbrush.

I become more and more like my parents every day.
I just looked at my coffee cup and decided not to clean it. The stains are obviously just flavor.
My father would absolutely agree.

Mamihlapinatapai
Mamihlapinatapai, a most succinct word.
It describes a look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start. This could perhaps be translated more succinctly as “eye-contact implying ‘after you…’”. A more literal approximation is “ending up mutually at a loss...

Morning Miracle
After many gurgling and clunking noises last night, my mac works completely again this morning!
I was mostly aggravated because the four finger swipe wasn’t working and it became a challenge to navigate through piles of PDFs.
Goodnight, Moon.
It is obviously time to go to bed when it takes five minutes of staring at the screen to determine the phrase “a cappella” is what you were looking for.

The Glory of Snow
I was struck today by the down-trodden spirit of so many students walking across the oval. Trudging through snow is just defeating the purpose of the snow.
Using an umbrella so the snow doesn’t kiss your soft skin? If you do that, how are snowflakes supposed to stick to your eye lashes?
Winter is the best because it is white, pure, insulating, and forcing of rest.
And if you are one of...

And it's only 10:00 AM
Drank three cups of tea, met my adviser, changed my major, possibly moved my graduation date up, found a new study spot, finished my homework till Monday…
Fantastic day, at just 10 am.
