I’m going to find a Salman Rushdie quote to post – I had an epic moment, a proclamation of self-existence, of self-sufficiency, of honesty, of anger, of frustration yesterday. It felt so damn freeing. I’m ready for life, ready to take responsibility.
But I’ve been pretty damn busy – problem set yesterday, midterm today, problem set tomorrow, midterm Thursday.
Deriving Black-Scholes for Put options this evening after I finish this midterm.

Some of the characters of the Oregon Country Fair:
I like a bit of regularity in my life sometimes, so having class Monday through Thursday 1-6pm has so far been pretty nice. I haven’t really had homework in a long time, thanks to HKU being more about notetaking, final papers, and finals. What with homework and all, my life is getting a good rhythm to it. (A rhythm that includes the Wire, and a lot of it.)
I’m not sure what else to write here for the moment (I’ve thirty minutes before class and am in a computer lab) – but I’ll be posting pictures from the Oregon Country Fair quite soon. David, Karyn, Ramon, and I went up to Eugene starting Thursday night, and drove back on Sunday. It was a fun, wholesome time and we even ended up getting a little swim in the Willamette. The Oregon Country Fair itself is a bit hard to describe (a renaissance fair taken over by hippies?), but the pictures should do it some justice.
I bought a Valby for my room along with bedding, both of which make the room about 100% more livable. I’m going to pick up my old receiver soon, so should be able to play my vinyl and relax on the Valby (I love that word) – I might even try to find some kind of (gasp, opulence) cushioned seat for reading and guests.
