...started doing CityStep as a junior and it was kind of like my rebirth at Harvard in a lot of ways...It just reminded me how much joy kids have--how being with kids just centers your life because you remember how there used to be more important things than exams. I mean, I go work with 10- and 11-year-olds twice a week, and they have their issues, but they don't know this world, so it helps me keep my sanity...
...running around like a chicken with its head cut off and not doing the academic work that I should have been doing. I was also waiting to start a meeting to help plan the Driskell/Burton campaign for U.C. President and vice president....We were painting a big banner, playing Bob Marley. We were trying to figure out how to involve people in the campaign and attract them to our message. 'Let's put up a big Kool-Aid man outside of the Science Center and hand out lemonade,' you know, just little things to make people's days better...

I played basketball, volleyball and track and did rodeo in the summers. It was normal...
...archaeologist since I was in first grade when I read a book on Cleopatra and the pharaoh's tombs in Egypt and just thought it was the coolest thing. I only looked at schools that had a lot of archaeology classes. I love being outside. It's sort of like a blue-collar job that you have to be educated for. It combines both worlds--like a construction worker with a degree. It's a hard day's labor, but at the same time learning about people who lived a long time ago and recreating stories about people from literally...
