as certain dark things are loved
Feb. 22nd, 2009 03:10 pmI know I've hit my stride with this essay for the government because I have both settled into a casual style and quoted Pablo Neruda in the last paragraph and a half.

Visited Lawrence University this weekend. Lesson learned: physics = lasers + ribidium. I swear, the stuff was everywhere. I eventually had to ask--okay, so what is so great about this ribidium? The answer made sense (alkali--it only has one electron in the outer valence shell--so it reacts easily, and the wavelength of light it's sensitive to is readily available), but still. Ribidium everywhere.
The physics people were cool, too.
Depending on where I get accepted, maybe I will go there.
Driving back, my father and I did not hit another deer. We are proud of this fact.

No writing news today, sadly. I need to organize my schedule so that I can get some writing done, but the workload from school is still formidable (don't let anyone tell you the second semester of senior year is easy; they're lying to you), and I'm usually drained by the time I'm done with all of that. Somehow, abandoning my schoolwork to concentrate on my writing doesn't seem like the greatest plan I've ever thought up.
