Protension: the online journal of Tom Elgin

…to quote Less Than Jake.
Hopefully it’s a crash in the fun sense like when you’re snowboarding and fall into a huge drift and laugh it off and just have the minor inconvenience of having to crawl/swim your way out of the loose snow, which is good exercise anyway. As opposed to into a tree and breaking ligaments and limbs and having to go through physical therapy for a year before you can walk again.

I posted this to my events page but they’re kind of hard to get to so I’m reposting to the journal itself.

Gonna be in Claremont for the summer doing math research (assuming I get funding. fingers crossed.) and figuring out how to get into graduate school. Oh and figuring out 06-07 plans too. Possible projects are:

• fundamentally redesigning the mechanisms by which we govern ourselves
• improving lives
• saving lives
• learning Spanish

I have to do all of those, because if I skip any one of them I’ll regret it. This could be a challenge.

And there’s still time…
Wait for me. There’s so much more of life for us to see…
Wait for me. I only hope that you’ll remember me.
