Calculation of Times


This fountain pen is gorgeous. It is made by Pelikan, and is called "Calculation of Times." Wow: what a great name. Also, the nib comes in a broad size, which suits me fine. I love the design both on the barrel and on the nib, and the theme -- time -- is inherently interesting to me. Does anyone have one I could try?

Sailor 1911


Ooo: I would love to try out this Sailor 1911 (or Professional Gear, or whatever this pen is called). I like wide nibs that let out a large amount of ink, and I bet this pen would be perfect.

Graduate School

I am now in the middle of applying to graduate schools. Everything is going well, but I hope to be done soon.
