I should be sleeping.

Hi, my name is Clara! I like to make music and bad jokes, but only occasionally. I nurture a somewhat random love of vicious aquatic creatures. Places I have lived and/or paid rent in include: Menlo Park, CA, Ithaca, NY, Washington, DC, New Orleans, LA, and (currently) Ann Arbor, MI. Check out my kpop blog for my random kpop observations: link

Today, we went foraging for edible plants around campus with Professor Carlton from Integrative Biology! Learned a lot about which places to wander on campus if I'm feeling hungry. Have a bunch of boomerangs of me eating stuff I literally plucked from the ground: (at UC Berkeley)

So my friend Isabelle was at SXSW and got to meet KARD, one of my favorite kpop groups! And she videochatted me into their meeting! They were very cool and it was so kind of them to do this for me. THANKS KARD! @bigmatthewww called me out for not going to their last SF show (I couldn't make it!), but said they'll come back just for me ❤️❤️❤️ (They also said Isabelle and I look alike lol.) I'm so happy and excited that I got to meet and chat with KARD digitally and I will definitely come through to their next San Francisco stop! ALSO Isabelle IS THE BEST. THANKS SO MUCH!! Suffice to say, I was extremely flustered. #NeverTooOldForKpop #kard @official_kard #mademyday❤️
