Ridin' Dirty with Danny:

Danny and me went to Windy Hill and Half Moon Bay.

The Cali beaches have cliffs and rocks right up to the water. Danny and me did a little nighttime rock climbing around the shore front. Unfortunately, as we realized on the way back, the tide was coming in. So, we got a little wet.

SWEAT

Went to SWEAT trip: camping in Cali mountains for three days with some classmates at elevations from 6-9 thousand ft.

Got to sleep with lots of med school girls. Unfortunately, they were safe in their own bags--usually.

Washed the car today.

Just another day in Hollywood

Thursday, Aug 17th, was a very ordinary day for me. I am in beautiful, sunny California and, believe it or not, trying to find a way to make my own movies with models as the stars. So, to me, today at Stanford felt like just another day in Hollywood.

Not an atmosphere of scholarship

Today at Stanford was a pretty typical end of summer day for me. I have been at Stanford since June 23rd. I moved here early to start working in a research lab. However, at this point, I have decided that the lab I have worked in this summer is probably not the one for me.

So today I continued looking into different research groups. Despite being rather serious these days about what I am looking for in a lab and project for my PhD work, the truth is that one of the first things I noticed after arriving at Stanford is that Stanford does not have an atmosphere of scholarship.

Coming from UChicago, I am used to an atmosphere of scholarship feeling like a looming, ominous burden directing me to work and study all the time. But here at Stanford, I think there is an atmosphere of athletism and prettiness.

About Me

Hi.

My name is Brandon-Luke Labron Seagle. But most people call me Brandon, which I like because I think "Brandon-Luke" sounds a little up-a-dee. Though, some people who know me and want to make fun of my name call me "Brandon hyphen Luke." I prefer both Brandon and Brandon hyphen Luke to Brandon-Luke. My middle name is Labron, after some old relative I never met. Seagle is like eagle but with an S in front. Yet people rarely spell it correctly when I am asked my name.
