Summer

Of course, this logic book is the most exciting thing to happen in awhile, but there are a couple of other reasons why I'm looking forward to this summer more than any other since I entered the workforce at 14: going to North Carolina with Lillian, maybe a trip to DC with Nina, an exciting adventure at MoCCA in June, and I just got word that JJF, my favorite teacher in high school, would be delighted to have me help get things ready for the opening of her new school. Score.

To New York this past weekend with the House. I had a very nice time, particularly in light of the fact that I got to talk to Kate Marvin, a rare treat. We went to Chinatown and SoHo, then to NYU for Indian food. I had naan bread, coconut soup, and vegetable vindaloo so spicy it had me sweating.
"I recently realized that I raise my eyebrows a lot," said Kate at one point. This is an understatement- she raises her eyebrows constantly, to the point that last year Kanak and I nicknamed her miemao, which is Chinese for "eyebrow." I've been calling Kate Miemao ever since, and I would never tell her what it meant. I decided this was as good a time as any.
"Miemao means 'eyebrow,'" I told her.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"...You've been calling me Eyebrow for the past year?!"
"You see now why I never told you."

Here are some pictures of the trip:
