Yesterday, I moved my boxes – all fourteen of them, containing everything I own – from the Calvert Street house to the Saint Paul house. I also put my rent and security deposit in the envelope with everyone else’s, and signed the lease. Now they’re going to have to work really hard to kick me out.

To celebrate, I joined three other students from my program at Trivia Night at the Wharf Rat in Fells Point. The WriSem team achieved victory, in the form of a refillable growler of Oliver ale, brewed on site. The only answer I knew was the name of the crystals that power the Enterprise* in Star Trek. And they knew it without me.

I did, however, provide moral support, and I won a tie-breaker in the second round with the aid of some skills I acquired from the ABF Drumz section of the LSJUMB. Once in the Band, always in the Band.
