    The Nerd Handbook

    My favorite lines, all of which happen to apply to me:

    • He sees the world as a system which, given enough time and effort, is completely knowable. This is a fragile illusion that your nerd has adopted, but it’s a pleasant one that gets your nerd through the day.
    • Humor is an intellectual puzzle, “How can this particular set of esoteric trivia be constructed to maximize hilarity as quickly as possible?” Your nerd listens hard to recognize humor potential and when he hears it, he furiously scours his mind to find relevant content from his experience so he can get the funny out as quickly as possible.
    • How does a nerd watch TV? Probably one of two ways. First, there’s watching TV with you where the two of you sit and watch one show. Then there’s how he watches by himself when he watches three shows at once. It looks insane. You walk into the room and you’re watching your nerd jump between channels every five minutes.

    I Wish

    I wish for world peace and the end of hate and poverty.

    I wish for futuristic new technology to be real.

    I wish the dining hall food tasted better.

    I wish all my work would get done.

    I wish time could just stop.

    I wish I could do more.

    I wish for a pony.

    I wish for her.

    I wish.

    What it means to be a Cardinal

    I have never been so pumped for a football game as I do right now. With last week’s UNBELIEVABLE win against USC 55-21, Stanford proves that we aren’t just great at academics but in sports as well. With so much school pride going around lately I am so glad to be here, much happier than my high school which had negative school pride at best. This Saturday is the Big Game, where we face off with Cal Berkeley to get back the Axe, the unofficial trophy that defines our rivalry. I absolutely love how excited everyone is and I’m going to stop rambling and let the pictures tell the rest :)
