I ate in the Caf four times last week. I went to an honors thesis presentation yesterday. I hiked to the cross this morning at some godforsaken hour, because I wanted to torture myself and also to see the sunrise. I actually like running on the track recently because I can gaze out at the baseball field and marvel at the clean, green lines. I stood outside the CCB last night … [Read more...] about Don’t Become Irrelevant
