Catch-Up

I find that "What's happening?" is one of the hardest questions to answer. How do you summarize what you're up to in a few lines? When I talk to a friend for the first time in a couple weeks, I always enjoy synopsizing my life in a short IM message -- often, they're the most succinct descriptions. Here's one I just wrote: 

Life's good, but extraordinarily busy. Beginning to feel like you, always running around to things. Classes are a lot busier this semester, probably because I was in some creative writing classes last semester where the week-to-week workload was less. I've pulled more nights working 'til 1am in the last 2 weeks than I did all last semester. Classes are fun, though, and the politics lecture I'm in is endlessly fascinating. I'm less involved with the student newspaper this semester, since I'm starting to concentrate on online stuff more -- cryptography and net neutrality. Writing for Medium and trying hard to write decent-length pieces each week. Family all well; was out in SF in January which was a lot of fun. Unsure what my summer plans are as of yet, but looking forward to being home for spring break at least.
