i am so relieved that my two papers are finally done and handed in. i don't have to live like a hermit in my room glued to my laptop anymore. i think i've spent easily more than 24h on both papers. it's been crazy. life, here i come again! (:

last week we had 3 rehearsals and 2 performances for Pirates of Penzance, a Gilbert and Sullivan musical. i'm on run crew, which means dong set changes and dangling a flag over the stage at the right cue. it's a really amazing musical cos there's 28 songs in it and the cast is fantastic. it's by the Stanford Savoyards, and it's not just students who are in it. they cast people from the community outside stanford in it too, and a significant number of them are alumni. it's the first time i've been up on the catwalk - that's the space above the stage where all the lights are - and the light loft, where the lights are controlled from and where the best view in the house is located. plus of course more cool people to meet!

last tues my first article appeared in the stanford daily, on ricker dining reopening for students.

i bought a pair of cream citizens of humanity jeans at a charity denim sale at a sorority house on saturday. so now i need a job to support my shopping habits. i'm trying to get paid for doing a psychological survey, but these things hv specific requirements. still, they pay well.
