welcome

being at stanford is a surreal and often intimidating experience. i often find myself comparing myself to my classmates, trying to figure out how i got in: maybe they needed a token utahn, a blonde, a history major; but all of these are already taken by people who are blonder, more historically savvy and more utah-esque than i am. regardless, somehow i am here and am starting to really love this place. i can't believe i am blogging!
