Hokay.

So here I am.

I? I’m a hapless MIT undergrad – let’s say I’m a junior. I think physics is just about totally awesome. Because, well, I don’t know. It just makes me happy. Sometimes I’ll leave a lecture or enter lab with a weird visceral joy – it’s like knowing a really good secret, like having a whole day alone, like sneezing, and it only comes from physics.

Luckily for us all, I’m a physics major. Thank you, MIT, you are so kind.

Now, because it is January and I don’t have classes, I have a serious buildup of unsaid words in the head. Also, I am a Youth of Today, and furthermore, I go to a school with “Technology” in its name, AND MOREOVER I am the Person of the Year on account of my techno-savvy-youth skillz. So I would be remiss, I think, if I did not make some effort to exercise those skillz while ridding myself of words. Which is to say, I think I’ll start a blog.

So, world, here’s a blog. Its ostensible purpose is to help me figure out how to be a damn good scientist without losing sight of the rest of the world. The theory goes, what I force into coherence I’ll consider more carefully, and remember better.

Got that?

Okay, good. Ready GO.
