Recent observation

I value making and doing things, the general category of creation. The counterpoint to this is that I *enjoy* reading and learning things much more. There's a bit more to it than that, I realize, as I try to write it down, but it's one fundamental contradiction in my head at the moment.

Having a concrete way of thinking about this may help me handle the contrast between my List 'o Crazy Schemes and what I actually spend my time on. In particular, I have a feeling I'll feel less guilty that I'd rather read than make wacky things, and may quite possibly get more done when I *do* have the energy for it.

For the Mudd folk

I'm 90% sure I'm going to alumni weekend this year - it's officially my 5 year anniversary, and it would be nice to see folks from my year who I haven't seen much of in the meanwhile.

Is anyone else planning on going?

If there were a day or two of hanging out before/after (in the spirit of the Paso trip - playing board games, eating tasty food and doing amusing things), would people be interested?
