Geek of the Week

(An unconventionally sweet and awesome honor!)

Alexandria Nobiling

Once a madame of glam, now a Transcendentalist content with jam and Spam. Her transformation is quite incredible really; an intelligent young lass attached to her cell phone and hair straightener with a fancy for selfies and fetching fingernails initially worried about abandoning these advantageous artifacts for four twenty-four. Yet, the story ends dramatically...well, not really. The story ends without makeup, tangled blonde hair, in sweat pants and happy for a week long tech-break. With pages of written, reflective data on self through the eyes of Emerson, Thoreau, and McCandless do not be surprised if Miss Nobiling becomes anticonformity and antisociety -- dare say Katniss Everdeen, Tris Prior, Clarisse McClellan, or Lizzie Bennet -- and begins commonly citing philosophical verbiage regardless of situational appropriateness. So congrats Alexandria Nobiling, transcendental hoi polloi in heels and English Geek of the Week.
