So apparently this place still exists.
This semester has been one of those cripplingly busy ones where no matter what high-priority thing you're working on, you can't stop thinking about the other eighteen more important things that you should be doing and you end up so stressed out that nothing ends up getting accomplished.
Despite this, things have been good.
I have my very own apartment now. No more roommates. I clean up my own messes, get to drink all of the beer that I buy, eat all the food I make, and can spend the whole day in my underwear if I feel like it. Also I'm two blocks from campus. I'd live here forever if I wasn't hell-bent on leaving the city/state/country when I graduate in May. The plan at this point is to go to Japan for a year or two. This is pretty exciting.
I never got around to posting any pictures from India. Here are some of them:
For context and an additional 450 or so shots, go here
Also if you are good at photo editing and have a lot of time on your hands and want to make any of these look more awesome, let me know and I'll send you the .RAW files.
Here are some other things that have been happening:
Every year, student groups at NC State get together and participate in the "Shack-a-Thon", a Habitat for Humanity project where each group builds a shack in a 15x15 space on the brickyard out of scrap wood and proceeds to live in it 24 hours a day for a week while panhandling for donations. All of the money goes to Habitat and the group with the most money wins free wood the next year. WKNC decided to participate for the first time this year, and we came up with by far the most attention-grabbing dwelling in Shack-a-Thon history:
If you stepped on the big "eject" button at the bottom, the tape deck opened on a set of counterweighted pulleys to allow entrance
That headphone jack on the left was functional and tuned to 88.1, by the way.
We even got a guy to tag the back:
A few weeks ago I drove to Chicago. We spent the weekend drinking several of the best beers I've ever tasted
and I broke 2.5 years of vegetarianism to eat a kangaroo hot dog
and there were lots of cars and buildings and other Things
That about brings us up to date. I obviously don't really have time for the site any more. I haven't looked at any sets in months and I have no idea what's going on with the SGNC crowd. I love you all, but I think I'm going to cancel my subscription when it runs out in a week and a half. I'd love to keep in touch so please send me your contact information if I've hung out with you in the past. Also I am still on Facebook so if you want to know my secret identity, just send me a message and I'll add you.
Hope everybody has a good winter. Maybe I'll restart the subscription when I get to Japan and overload you with more crazy pictures.
