– Adrienne Rich, “Final Notations”
She died yesterday at age 82. One of the first female poets whose work really resounded with me, and still one of my favorites.

Run of Play: 78 Minutes →
runofplay:
Here’s my new Grantland piece about Muamba. I wrote most of this on Tuesday, and since then, a sort of Muamba backlash has emerged, made up of people who think we’re talking too much about Muamba, or feeling too much about Muamba, or talking and feeling about Muamba in the wrong ways. This was…
I know I rave about the Run of Play all the time, but if you’re going to read...

I'm starting to think that buying my grandmother...
Grandmother: I know your grandfather always asks if you've met any nice boys lately, so he can warn them not to date you.
Me: Yeah. I've noticed.
Grandmother: Well, I've found you a nice boy! And your grandfather would approve.
Me: ...Really? Who?
Grandmother: Prince Harry! Yesterday I watched a video of him dancing on a beach in Jamaica, because he's doing a tour of all the British territories. And you know, that nice Kate Middleton girl played field hockey all through college.
Me: Okay, Grandma. Okay.
Grandmother: Just think about it.

I guess this is what happens when I vow to give up sweets entirely and run/elliptical 5x a week (which, amazingly, has actually happened for the last two weeks)
but I lost two pounds this week, and our spring season hasn’t even started

I’m an idiot for doing this, but I just spent the better part of an hour on College Confidential looking at RD acceptance threads and am now panicking about my chances of getting into Brown.
(On the bright side, a ton of people were waitlisted or outright rejected at WashU, which I suppose makes sense—but I didn’t even think about it until I saw the numbers. A lot of...
