After finishing my last final on Monday, which happened to be my only final, I was left at Pomona for about a week longer than I had originally planned. I'm finally at home now.
There are about three spibling left in my hall, who are leaving tomorrow. Blaisedell 2 Back is almost empty. It feels kind of weird.
At any rate, I've had a great semester. I really don't think I ...

Month: December 2012
Goodnight.
Last night, I sat with my flatmates in the hallway for the last time, our fingers interlocked and held above our heads under the dim light. We microwaved ice cream until it turned into soup and we baked two pizzas and we packed our bags and we made promises and plans. Then we woke up at 6:45 the next morning to see the first ones off. That will be me, tomorrow. Tonight, the...

The End of the World: Reflections
I’m currently flying on a plane from a layover in Phoenix to Kansas City to visit my relatives. It’s Wednesday. In Claremont, some of my peers are taking 2-5 p.m. finals, some of them have also already gone, some of them are writing essays, some of them may be studying, some of them are packing, some of them are reflecting on the past semester. Even though I’m not in Claremont,...

So here are some of my favorite moments to share with you all. (m...

Finals, Finals, Finals!
Wow, I can't believe I'm writing my final blog post of the semester. I'm really having trouble fathoming that I am 1/2 of the way through my sophomore year already. How did this happen!? It honestly feels like a month ago that I came here for orientation committee. I still remember completely my first day of classes, my first trip to the village, and my first meal of the ye...

A Study in Mania: Essay-Writing and the Need to Sleep
It is 8:00 a.m. The sun has risen, and the birds have begun chirping. I think the morning has come---or is it night---there comes a time that you wonder if it's late, or if it's early. I ask myself: Do I tell myself "good night," or "good morning"?

A Study in Mania: Computer Science and the Human Psyche
I submitted my final assignment of CS52 on Tuesday. It was an extraordinarily weird feeling. All those hours in the lab, all those long nights, all those dizzingly intelligent people… And now it’s over. (more…)
