2010!

o hai thar. yeah, apparently i really don't update this anymore. i really ought to, though. i've got a lot to say.

school has been good this semester, if not really weird. i'm taking environmental policy, atomic energy policy, gentrification, and methods of policy analysis. i'm also taking, on a pass/fail basis, media in a free society, and i'm receiving pass/fail credit for my internship in the development department at the tax foundation, too. i'm really enjoying my internship so far – i've done a lot and i'm constantly learning. i've even written a blog post for them, too, which you can read here.

classes are good, although much more difficult than what i got used to at the university of cape town. the academic calendar has also been thrown off due to the monstrosity known as the snowpocalypse. as a result of it, i now have to attend class on a saturday (may 1st). lame.

i've also been busy with my positions on the e-boards of liberty society and ΣAΛ, as well as working as a peer adviser at the study abroad office and as a wage slave at dsw.

right now, i'm pretty happy with my life, although i find myself missing south africa. a lot. it's a beautiful country with a rich culture, and i left some phenomenal friends behind there. money is pretty tight for me right now, though (i'm still paying off bills from last semester), so it looks like i won't be back in that neck of the woods any time soon.

spring break begins on the 12th for me. i'll be here, working.

i'll try to be better about updating this thing. in the mean time, i'll think of something more interesting to say.
