It’s sad.
Saturday.
I’m beyond nervous for Harvard. I mean I’m stoked for the whole thing in general and the whole Harvard aspect of it, but I’m just not sure how the kids are going to be. How I’m going to adapt. Where I’ll fit in. et cetera.
shmeeps. eeps. bobeeps.

How is the man so epic?
I haven't even met her AND I CAN TELL SHE'S...
My Beginning Fiction teacher at Harvard is abnormally nicer than I expected. I emailed her earlier with a Dear Ms. Eliezra Schaffzin, and in her response she said “call me Ellie”. WHAT. I KNOW.
I am beyond excited.
Man: Wow I think we are soulmates
Woman: Oh you think so?
Man: Oh I’m on the phone
Woman: Oh sorry.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

Whenever someone asks me what I want to do when I’m older, I say “I want to live in the city” When they say, “maybe you should think about that before you’re so sure about it”. I say “no, (shut up).”
This is one of the many reasons I WILL ETERNALLY LOVE AND ADORE NYC. the people.
YAY!

FUCKYEAHPHYSICS IS THE BEST FY TUMBLEOG (spelling?) EVER.
I am obsessed with the concept behind String Theory, but I haven’t taken theoretical physics, or for that matter any Physics class yet. I’m hoping I can find/talk to some crazy physicists this summer.

And The Gov't Internet Surcharge Begins
nerdology:
It was only a matter of time before the government started putting a tax on the Internet. It seems Louisiana is the first state to plunge into that dark and uncharted territory. The House just approved a 15 cent monthly “usage fee” on the Internet for the residents of LA. The effort will raise 2.4 million dollars to fight online crime.
I’m a big advocate of crime fighting as well...
