After I explained the concept of slash fiction:

k: “lesson of the day: if i ever have a question about gay porn phrases they teach at harvard call ryan”

I haven’t had much time to work on the playlist, but I did add a lot of the songs to 8Tracks. As far as I can tell, this is the easiest way for people to listen to it (once) without downloading the songs. I’ll post the finished playlist after finals (12/18).

Back to studying!

Pictorial.

I don’t just misspell it; I have repeatedly thought the correct word was “pictoral.” You would think that after the fourth time I would remember. I don’t.

A rumor has been going around campus the past few days that was finally confirmed today. HLS is getting rid of the much-feared mandatory 8% Low Pass!

Under the old system, the bottom 8% of students got an LP, the top 35% received an HP (High Pass), and everyone else got a Pass. Now, LPs are discretionary and don’t have to be given out at all. For someone like me, who is fine with all Passes, this eliminates a lot of lurking fear on the eve of exams.

Now I can watch the UT/Nebraska Big 12 Championship game, guilt free!
