…surfing the internet, taking random quizzes:
85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don’t get scores that high! Good show, old chap!
To distract you from the lack of content, here is another picture of me from my childhood, this time from my 3rd birthday, I believe:
I have been studying for the gmat recently (which explains the dearth of posts), so I’ve been getting good use out of my trusty mechanical pencil. It’s an unassuming cheap, rubberized grip pencil, and I love it. I love that I don’t have to carry a pencil sharpener. I love that I can retract the lead so I don’t find stray pencil marks. I love that the lead tracts and retracts with a satisfying click. It’s a simple pencil and it makes me happy.
So it was with much sadness recently when my pencil both ran out of lead and eraser. I’ve been scrabbling by, writing on an angle to not push to too-short lead back into the body, repositioning the eraser in minute amounts so it doesn’t fall out. Yesterday was extremely sad when both of these methods failed and I had to borrow a sub-standard generic mechanical pencil with the twist top. It’s really jarring to do math with a different pencil, it’s wrong somehow.
Today I went to Walgreens and bought some lead. They didn’t have the eraser refills. I then went to Utrecht across the street and bought the eraser, and some lead (it was cheaper than Walgreens! Hooray for a tiny bargain!). Now my pencil is refilled and is happy. I am happy. The math? Still not happy.

666) I don’t like the feel of newspaper
g) I look like I wear eyeshadow, but it’s really the skin coloring over my eyes.
In other news, I was visiting my bestie this weekend, and she promised to give me her Addi Turbos. Sadly, they had a hat on them (she gave up knitting when it hurt her wrists). So I finished it for her Will. Here is me modeling it. Thanks for the addis, veronique!
