So, as most people are getting off the blogging bandwagon, I'm finally joining. For a long time, I've wanted to keep a journal, but after a dozen or so failed attempts, I wasn't sure it would work out. Well, I started one again. And this time, it's for real. I decided I'd copy some parts of it on here, and maybe the desire to update this site would drive me to write more faithfully. Do I have anything so important to say that I think you all should read it? Not really. But we'll see how it goes.
I'm a student at Dartmouth College, majoring in Government (International Relations) with a minor in Environmental Studies. Academically, I'm interested in the implications of global climate change on U.S. national security. Not sure what's going on after graduation yet. Maybe you've heard - it's a tough job market right now... Currently, my greatest inspiration comes from the Oscar speeches of Glen Hansard: "Make art. Make art" and Markéta Irglová: "Fair play to those who dare to dream" after winning the 2008 award for Best Original Song, "Falling Slowly."
Then at about 8 I went over to Arun’s to watch the Rose Bowl before leaving with Kayla to go see the Birds with 2 of her other friends. It was one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. Is that terrible? Do I have no appreciation for the era? Does it matter? The scene with the little girl pounding her feet and fists on the ground with a bird poking her occasionally on the back of the head was absolute priceless cinema.
