SPIRIT HIGH SCHOOLER.
“Think your senior quote in the yearbook was awesome? It wasn’t. Because Jessica Lee’s is the best thing ever. Angry Asian Man explains it:
Drawing on her knowledge of the periodic table, the graduating high school senior’s parting words of wisdom — published under her photo in the Garfield High School yearbook — appear to be a nerdy recitation of elements. But wait. Look a little closer, and you’ll see a coded message inspired by the lyrical stylings of none other than the Notorious B.I.G.:
“Flourine uranium carbon potassium bismuth technetiumhelium sulfur germanium thulium oxygen neon yttrium”Which, in case you were wondering, is Biggie-speak for:
(F) flourine (U) uranium (C) carbon (K) potassium (Bi) bismuth (Tc) technetium (He) helium (S) sulfur (Ge) germanium (Tm) thulium (O) oxygen (Ne) neon (Y) yttrium.”

WordPress Post - Page 23
Right before my Blog Every Day in April challenge and my Spring Break, I submitted a story to the Minetta Review, NYU’s literary and arts magazine. I found out a few weeks ago, and I was afraid to post about it until the issue was put together and published and out in case something happened, but the story that I submitted was accepted. You can read the story, and the full magazine, via the Issuu service at this link. My story starts on page 23 (Building Bridges), but definitely read through the whole magazine. There are some really amazing pieces in there, and I’m honored that my humble attempt was included among them.

When we're born we're all grey
But the thoughts we have
The words we choose
All the evidence we give
So colourless and flawless
Finaly we will become this colours
They can make a brave new worldColour Bandits

WordPress post - Feeding the foodie within me
I just signed up for an eight-week summer course entitled Sustainability of Food Systems: A Global Life Cycle Perspective through an awesome online course site called Coursera. (Special shout-out to Food (Policy) for Thought‘s awesome post about the course and alerting me to this awesome opportunity!) I have already started diving into the course material, and there are so many students from around the world that it looks like it’s shaping up to be a good course.
