Why does the moon keep following us?
One of the workers at the laser lab told me this today while I was waiting for the laser machine to finish cutting my project. I was cutting out crescent shaped moons out of plywood and he looked over and said, “Oh, is that a moon? I love moons.

...madness
there’s the midterm madness and the finals madness. and i’ve discovered that although there is much relief after all that madness is over, there is still the post-midterm/post-finals madness….where you clean up/take care/make up for everything you’ve neglected for the weeks prior to said madness.
