acorn?

as my first semester of graduate school comes to an end, i look back and reflect on....nothing, actually, i was so ridiculously busy the whole damn time with 2 jobs and school that the last couple of months of just scurried by without me looking up to notice. like squirrels.

so instead, let's talk about squirrels. they're more interesting that grad students anyways, but probably more savvy. i bet squirrels are secretly (or maybe not so secretly) planning on taking over planet earth and we're just sitting around like lab mice producing results for them. squirrels are clever that way, they're everywhere and yet so conspicous that no one really pays them any attention - which is probably what they want. i think the following article made me aware of the secret underworld of squirrel mafia...save yourself before it's TOO LATE!!!
