I dressed up today exactly like myself as a freshman (the somewhat Sontag-like Look involves clog boots, jeans, dark sunglasses, a Danish messenger bag and a thick turtleneck). Given that I also wore a jacket I bought with an early TA check the first day of class this semester, I consider that my plan to … More Fashion, nationality…

This year I realized that that had only been the second King holiday. This is holiday 26, and time does pass quickly. ♦ I woke up and … More …stayed on freedom…
