My Heart is Melting

Of all the momentous things that have happened to me… For some reason, despite the too many arguments I’ve had recently, I’ve had some silver linings in the clouds. My friend wanted to visit me this weekend, and for unfortunate reasons, it doesn’t look like it’ll happen.

However, she texted “Aww poop. And hanging out with you would’ve been enough.” That’s just about one of the sweetest things I’ve heard in a long time.

I miss you terribly!! We are somehow always separated by distance, but that doesn’t mean our bond is severed in any way!!! I am so grateful to be your friend for all these years and for many more years to come.

What a beautiful week.

I am so surprised by this week. In the number of people I’ve talked to, in the quality of conversations we’ve had, in the amount of fun I’ve had. Wow, this has been an amazing week. All the little things really do add up.


The only downside?? I forgot to do an online quiz that was due tonight. Oops!


With only three more weeks left of the quarter, time to make it really count!

By the way Poly, I know I have a lot of units. Thanks for telling me that I have 234.5. Just let me take the classes I need to graduate! I know you don’t want me to take up space, and I know my time at Poly is ending…. sooo classes please?

This machine allows anyone to work for minimum wage for as long as they like. Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds, for a total of $7.25 per hour. This corresponds to minimum wage for a person in New York. This piece is brilliant on multiple levels, particularly as social commentary. Without a doubt, most people who started operating the machine for fun would quickly grow disheartened and stop when realizing just how little they’re earning by turning this mindless crank. A person would then conceivably realize that this is what nearly two million people in the United States do every day…at much harder jobs than turning a crank. This turns the piece into a simple, yet effective argument for raising the minimum wage.

Well said! People who don’t earn minimum hourly wages would voluntary stop, while others toil the day and night away just to pay for a meager living.

Sound Advice

Talked to two professors today. So sweet to talk to them about stuff besides school :)

It’s okay to graduate late. It’s rare that you’ll have so much free time to enjoy yourself once you enter the working world. Take fun classes even if it doesn’t count: it’ll help enrich your life.

Wandering in the Woods, Oer-Wout

I wanna go there.

When you find this, I’ll be there

Letting a little bit out.

I think I know why school isn’t my thing. I love the learning process, but I never remember anything! It’s not like I didn’t study for it. _________ escapes my brain so fast! There are few things that stick, but I’m not sure what ties them together.


Working might be my calling.


Dad, I’m not sure if graduate school is where my mind is at. Am I thinking with my heart or my brain?


Or am I missing a chunk of the puzzle?

Designing for Hope

Being asked to design something from scratch is so scary. Especially when other people are depending on it. Will it turn out okay? What are they expecting? So many questions, so few answers.

It’s only been my second day on the job, and it’s already giving much more than I asked for :’)

What Traveling Around the World Looks Like in 1 Minute 

 Rick, Tim and Andrew, three ordinary guys, decided to take a trip of a lifetime: 11 countries in 44 days. 18 flights and 38,000 miles later they have three 1-minute videos showing what life is like around the world.

They recorded everything off two cameras and ended up with over a terabyte of footage which they cut, mixed and matched into an awesomely seamless blend of every notable place they’ve been.

They broke down their trip into three parts: Move, whichshows them walking around, Eat, which shows the delectable food they ate, and Learn, which shows all the amazing things they did.

Two - One - None

Choosing between two things that seem to be polar opposites is so hard. Win one, lose the other. And it’s not a fair game where winning both is possible.

Or is it?
