my spacecoaster rocks kant’s behind

going to florida for 5 days a week and a half before finals was not a good idea. i don’t think i could be any less motivated to finish strongly. luckily for me, i’m having the easiest quarter of my stanford career, and maybe that will let me slide by without too much trouble.

orlando was sweet. i got in thursday morning at 6am. i was a little tired but i didn’t want to go to bed until that night or the jet lag would suck all weekend, so i went running. i hung out with chris nyffeler for a good bit, because he left friday morning for japan.

anyway there’s no use in just logging my days. here were some of the highlights: my brother’s graduation, hanging out with friends every day, seeing family, going rock climbing, and going to a my spacecoaster concert. the concert rocked so hard–it was a tiny little club, and probably no more than 15 or 20 people came to the show. so i was right up there with the band rocking out and screaming with john lamonica. a bunch of my friends came to the show with us, and we all hung out with the band beforehand. they’re thinking of coming to san francisco to play a show or two, and i hope they do.

i’m still waiting to hear on a job i applied for a week ago. it’s a web design job for a medical lab at stanford. i think the news on the job will be the deciding factor of whether i stay in california over the summer or not. surprisingly, i’m entirely ambivalent. being home made me realize what i would be missing out on if i never went back to florida over the summer. balance this with the cool prospect of living on my own in an apartment in california, and you can see why i wouldn’t care either way.

i’m at work now, so i should probably procrastinate by doing something more productive, like reading some of the 250 pages of kant i have left. if you’ve never read kant….well, pity me anyway.
