The Word: Missing Out

Tonight is Stephen Colbert’s debut at Cornell. His two shows are both sold out and I, the person who should be his campaign manager, am missing out. Because I am in DC, which I am enjoying very much (since from this post you can’t tell), Jen Lin has agreed to take my ticket, which means, [...]

A Weekend Without Homework (The First and the Last)

This past weekend was an exception from the ordinary. For two-and-a-half days I enjoyed a weekend without any homework (finished the relatively little I had on Thursday night). I took this opportunity to relax by going out for brunch on Saturday morning at a Korean restaurant called Mandu with a couple of friends and a [...]

Now that this is off my chest… In their most recent issue, the Washington Monthly magazine published a ranking of the top colleges in America. This [...]

There’s a Top Chef in DC

At Cornell I had the luxury of eating lunch and dinner at any one of 20+ dining halls and food courts. I could go when I’d want and where I’d want. I could ask for food ranging from sushi to spaghetti to French dip and once in a blue moon some sirloin steak would be [...]

Missing the Line

Matt’s blog enlightened me to the fact that I missed doing my time in the line for season hockey tickets. At least now I won’t have an opportunity to have them revoked for cursing like last year. I guess that’s one of the downsides of studying “abroad” during the fall semester, that and not seeing Stephen Colbert.

Republican PBS Debate

I was going to explain the trouncing Cornell put on Georgetown at Georgetown’s own homecoming football game and all the plays that resulted in a 45-7 Cornell win this past Saturday, but saw that I had talked about the Giants’ spectacular performance against Washington (don’t get that confused with the even more stellar performance last [...]
