Okay guys, so I remembered I’m supposed to be writing in this blog thing. Quick thoughts:

If you have not yet registered to vote in the election, you probably don’t have too long to do that. Seriously–vote. It’s important that we have a good leader the next four years. Don’t screw this up. (I mean, vote for whoever you want, but…seriously.)

If you are interested in the election from a strategic perspective, read FiveThirtyEight.com. It has a very in-depth mathematical analysis of all the poll results from this campaign, compiled by an accomplished sabermetrician. FiveThirtyEight analyzes the campaigns in terms of electoral math, unlike everywhere else, so it has great commentary about how the campaigns should actually win the election (i.e., get 270 electoral votes), not just get more of the popular vote.

My classes are going well, though they keep me pretty busy with four problem sets and a lab every week. I’m enjoying analysis more than algebra, which is a bit of a surprise. Mechanics is alright, though honestly it isn’t my cup of tea as far as physics goes. Computer science is, as expected, a bit underwhelming because it’s an intro course, but I have hopes for more advanced CS courses.

And…I’ll write more soon, I promise. Hopefully.

That’s crazy!

But I’m ready–I just finished organizing my desk. Thanks to some conversations with (a very bored) Nick, even my music library is organized by genre. (22 of them, no less!)
