'Tis an Honor

Most esteemed dudes and ladies, it appears I have been blessed enough to be selected and featured in the highly prestigious and most laudable Kalamazoo College News and Events, but for a limited time only! Check it out before I quickly fade from the spotlight into anonymity and oblivion.

For more pictures from the aforementioned incident, check out this photo album!

I also have pictures of the coffee plantation we went to and pictures from our trip to Playa Conchal. If you are allergic to really stunning sunsets, I would skip the latter, and if you are predisposed to dislike long exposure pictures of a coffee husk furnace chock-full of chaotic swirling sparks, I would skip the former. (See what I did there? I enticed you by warning you! It's brilliant and has been used by graphic television shows for ages. You know when the show starts with something like this: "This show contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing, viewer discretion is advised," nobody's going to stop watching. In fact, if you were considering turning off the TV or surfing to a different channel, you're not anymore. You're going to watch that show until you see some action. And that is just one way TV controls you.)

Those are from a long time ago, though. Things have been pretty slow lately. I'm working on applying for REUs and writing buckets of essays. I start work for Clodomiro Picado soon, which is the institute where they made the antivenom that likely saved one of the following things: my finger, my arm, or my life. I guess I feel I owe them something, but they're not allowing me to go near anymore snakes.

I leave you with this poem, written by a ten year old survivor of anorexia, which she developed from watching a Nickelodeon show with a very skinny main character. I'll let you formulate your own opinions of anorexia in today's preteens, but who picked the gif at the top?
