Adam Kercheval

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit blogging

Who is Adam Kercheval? As far as he can tell, he's a Computer Science and Spanish double-major in the class of 2018, who is troubled by the fact that he's fascinated by way more than just command prompts and palabras. For the curious, those fascinations include but are certainly not limited to: the nuances of English grammar and usage; spiders of all shapes and sizes; films, especially camera angles, shot framing, and color palettes; jazz-funk (think mid-1970s Herbie Hancock); and gallium, his favorite element.

This blog will be an exploration of those things and many others. Hopefully some discussion of Tufts will be included as well.
