I am here for Networking

About Me

I am a senior in college, theoretically in pursuit of a B.A. in English from UC Berkeley. "What the hell are you going to do with that?" you might ask. You wouldn't be the first. The answer? Probably nothing. Teach? Go into publishing? Go back to school to get the pre-med requirements so I can be a doctor? We'll see. I live in my dreams. I want to do so very many things, but have yet to do but a small few of them. In time, I hope, that will change.More than that, well, you'll just have to talk to me or read my blogs to find out.

Point B, or, Don’t Read This, It’s Emo

So where was I?

I am pointedly ignoring the fact that the problem I sent my computer to HP to fix is apparently unfixed in order to write this blog. In a way, writing this is helping distract me from the fact that I ...
