-Timeline: very late Sunday evening 101010.I see: a pile of unread photocopies due this week; plus I’m taking public policy classes, so the pile is huge.I hear:  Hole.I smell: Ange au Démon (don’t ask).I feel: hopeful.-“So what did you do this summer?” seems to be the popular question lately. Well, one thing I didn’t do was write on this blog, so here’s my shot at a comeback with the new blog rules in place, trying to answer that question.-I was working in my internship.

In a nutshell: I really hope spring is better. I only had lecture classes (as opposed to discussions) and I really found them less interesting than I expected.

-Timeline: Saturday eveningI see: perfectly clear skiesI hear:  BeyoncéI smell: chicken and curry (yum…)I feel: a LOT of pain.-Let me summarize my spring quarter: I’m taking six classes (yes, SIX classes) and I have a different group for each one of them.
