Slipping behind bureaucracy.
I’ve taken to just contacting people, and completely disregarding bureaucracy.
For some reason, this has worked out for me. I’m on my last day of a fantastic internship, I was able to work my way out of a really bad study abroad program, and I find that I am able to get answers to questions—rather than wait times.
Now, while this does not work all the time, there is something...

New music?
Recently discovered I am a fan of the Ting Tings/MGMT.
