  • Summer 2020: Cleveland

    I’m now 3 days short of having waited an entire year since my last post. I debated whether or not to wait the extra few days to make it to a year or not, but decided it’s almost better to wait just shy of one. A lot has changed in my life since then so…

  • Summer Accomodations

    In my last post I talked about how I came to be living where I am this summer. Now this was mostly to justify how much I pay for my current situation…. When I was talking with my current landlord, they wanted me to realize a few key facts about the place. I would be…

  • Silicon Valley Housing Search

    Let me set the scene. I had known since about December that there was a high likelihood of me working in Silicon Valley this summer. Now the astute among you may realize that means that December is when I should have started looking for a place to stay. I however didn’t. I was able to…

  • One Again, I’m Back: Part II

    Okay so I’m really starting to see a pattern now. During the summer while on internship, I have lots of free time and write a lot on here. Then during the school year I barely have enough time to eat so I don’t. Now this strategy is great and all except that the block where…

  • Soylent, The Beverage for the Modern World

    Soylent! For people who don’t need solid food I first encountered soylent a few years ago probably on reddit or something. The basic idea of it is a nutritionally complete beverage that, although it isn’t recommended officially, can be consumed exclusively and safely. I’ve always been curious to try it but I’ve been afraid of…

  • Finally Made it to Houston

    How did I ever get to Houston? So first things first. Last time I left off, I was sitting in a Starbucks in Indianapolis waiting for a friend to pick me up. Slightly far from Houston…. I guess right there is as good a time as any to pick back up. So, after my laptop…

  • Car Broke Down Going Home

    Okay so this is technically the second time for my car I drive a 2003 Toyota Prius that has been through its fair share. The very first time something bad happened to me in it was some time in junior year. I was driving home from school one day and a large warning light came…

  • Midterms are Finally (Almost) Over

    Midterms are a not so great part of college So last time that I left off, I just returned from a spring break bender vacation to Ireland with the marching band. Since then, my life has consisted mostly of doing homework and studying for midterms. Since I live inconveniently far from campus, if I don’t want…

  • Once Again, I’m Back.

    So it’s been about a year… “Back again” I have to say, I think I’ve been doing pretty well for myself. I took up running, got accepted into college, went there, joined the marching band, completed a semester, got a job, and all sorts of other neat things. From an outside perspective, I guess you…

  • I’m Back. And It’s About Time.

    So What Happened? I’ve been thinking back and forth whether or not I, when I get back into doing this, should address the fact that it’s been about four months since my last activity. The easy thing to do is just not do it. But I’m a little less lazy than that. Not much less,…
