Today in class a student gave a presentation and told the class that it was mathematically prooven, that today was the worst day of the year. I laughed it off, and thought it was just a good excuse to fuck up ones presentation. He was right. Two awful things happened today. They left me feeling…

This weekend was awesome. A. W. E. S. hey look something shiny… In all honestly I don’t think it could have gone any better than it did. Friday night playing drinking games to March of the Penguins not only made me feel dirty but also alive all at once. Plus it was a chance for…
