Giiiiigantor! Giiiiigantor! Giiiiiigaaaaaaaantor!

a good day. a really good day, in fact. i was about to say that in terms of schoolwork it was fabulously unproductive, and i was struck by how disturbing it is that i think of my days in these terms way too much, and more often than not it's also the first way i think about the day. damn high school conditioning and self-pressurizing atmosphere of berkeley. i wouldn't change it, but i'm still a little resentful.

i haven't said yeehaw in a while... i remember an informational survey from early last year in which i said that i hoped the year would hold numerous yeehaws. now what constitutes a yeehaw is difficult to articulate simply, it is a surprisingly exacting task in fact, and one that i will not venture to undertake at the moment. and damn it, i'd like to avoid haughty language for the evening, and to just enjoy where i am. so here it goes:
