oh god finals death wtfomgbbq.
Seriously, rock salt crystal structure is two interpenetrating FCC lattices ararara seventeen plane groups studying for foffman arrr.

I realized while talking to Mallory that my default strategy while dealing with boys is "take no action."

It would make a sucky adventure game:
>You see a guy you think is kinda cute. Do you talk to him?
-Take no action.
(AWESOME!)

...but it generally keeps me out of potentially awkward situations. Also single and disease-free, both of which are excellent, except when the cluster sounds particularly desperate.

Sometimes I wonder if it would always keep me out of a mess. I also know that once a guy is persistent enough, "take no action" sets you up for solid fail. Still, this strategy mostly works.

I am probably paranoid and overanalytical, but I say this because I also realized last night at geek eat that of the three girls in our party of twenty, I was the only one (definitely) single. Less relevant stats include that there were as many non-bespectacled (I count because of contacts) people as girls. Despite dinner conversation about Kerberos, ttuttle's being on #cslounge, and gwillen's sad discovery that there was no wifi in the restaurant, the cs major proportion was lower, though, and I couldn't get a good picture of handedness. Often in a group that is a subset of DS, I am the only blue-eyed person, but KGB is white enough that this was not true. Why would I rather data mine than mingle?

I am still trying to gauge how much major matters at other colleges. Ours is particularly divided.

mmmrr not excited for foffman.

boys are scary but you should take action. trust me it works much better that way.

I tend to prefer observation to interaction, especially when I'm stressed. I have to agree with my roommate here that boys are sometimes worth taking risks for.

The nice thing about taking no action is that you avoid being hurt (as much). The nasty part about taking no action is that it sorta sucks.

My solution: ask someone who knows what the hell they're doing. Also, good luck on finals!
