She began attending Hampshire in 2004, but hasn't forgotten her roots LOL.

That Dream I Had Last Night
I just remembered that last night I dreamt about going to this Japanese restaurant and sitting at this big, exciting Hibachi table, and I was excited but nervous to watch the cook kill a shrimp, prepare it, and feed it to me before all it's biological processes had stopped. They say it tastes completely different that way. It's interesting how all any living organism ever does is fight to say alive, but the only way for that to happen is for it to kill other living organisms. I don't know how we're supposed to live with that once we reach a place where we can comprehend it. I guess someday everything will be dead so nothing will need to eat, and everything will be OK.

Division III
Vikki is currently working on her Div III, which deals with catalysis. Who knows?
