After an extended Spring Break filled with traveling I am back home and back in school. From Rhode Island to Jamaica I traveled well over 3432 miles by land, sea, and air. That’s about 1/7th the circumference of the world. A very neat week and a half.

Based on very little fact or reason I am going to propose and assert the law of very short layovers. It goes as follows: layovers which are an hour or under in length cause the probability of your first outgoing flight to be late and subsequently for annoying problems to arise. Problems […]

Phew, that was a heck of a week! Finally, 2pm Thursday my Spring Break begins with a trip up to Brown University for their PhD recruitment weekend. I’m looking forward to seeing what Providence is like and getting to know more about their Computer Science Department. I’ve heard only good things. […]

Free wireless internet access in a plane??? Are you kidding me? Lufthansa rocks. Well, except for these seats being jammed. If only my battery weren’t so short lived on this laptop…
I made the journey to Gastonia last night to see the latest Star Wars debut at midnight with Rich. I really enjoyed it. All of […]

On Saturday I traveled to Charlotte in the early afternoon to visit my sister at the Aveda school. She cut my hair and did an amazing job. Despite saying she doesn’t enjoy cutting hair as much as she does doing makeup, I feel like if she sticks with it for a little longer she’ll straight […]

Today I made a $50.00 investment in four pairs of socks for the Europe trip and beyond. Call me crazy, I would too had I never worn Thorlos socks. Simply put, they are the most amazing things I’ve ever had on my feet.
The first two pair are lightweight, lambs wool level 1 socks. The other […]
