Last autumn, I began with a thank you, and that time has returned once more when I must express my gratitude to everyone. It has been such a fantastic year. I know that, in this class, we have had our ups and downs, our moments of brainy wit and our stuggles of dispair. But, all in all, don't you agree that it has been such a great learning ( Read more... )

I told you I'd continue my thoughts about that lecture ( Read more... )

That lecture today sure made me think. I felt bad because, as I was sitting there listening to his lecture, my eyes could be read that my mind was certainly elsewhere. I couldn't help it. Whatever that man's name was, he was a inspiration to my though processes ( Read more... )

Halleluhah!

Spring is here at last...but it's not like we can exactly complain about this past winter. It wasn't quite that blistery and frosty. Well, enjoy this little bit of reassurance:

by Matsuo Basho (1644 - 1694)
translated by Robert Hass

First day of spring--
I keep thinking about
the end of autumn.I'll analyze this ( Read more... )

Well, I had lunch yesterday with some of the girls and guys from my church. What fun and I think that I became the object of some of their laughter. We went to Moxy's on Yonge St., close to the corner of Yonge and Sheppard. I tend not visit that one, as every experience I've had there has not been overly plesant with regards to their service. I ( Read more... )

Arg! I have a paper due in two days and I stayed home to finish it. I know, I know, it's not good to skip school, but this paper could make or break my Drama grade. I feel bad for missing Prof. Kuin's lecture as he always makes me laugh and causes me to be more insightful than I usually am, but this was a necessary course of action for academic ( Read more... )

A friend wrote this...I'll analyze it later, but I thought it was one of the nicest, most well-structured poems I've read in awhile. Read, enjoy, reflect and I'll get back to this a little later. Take care!

Angel Now

So briefly I would see her ( Read more... )

I don't know about any of you, but I sure feel stressed. I was thinking and the one thing that I truly hate about February is that we don't have a statutory holiday. Did you know that the United States has something called "President's Day?" How fair is that? Most of the US doesn't even vote, then the ones who vote the "prez" in hate him, but even ( Read more... )

Nothing much to report, but a little something to think about:

Just Take a Vacation
by Ronald A. MacArthur

Are you tense ( Read more... )

I positively love this weather. Now, I will say that I do prefer the prettiness of Canadian winters with all that snow, and children making castles on their front lawns and going to bed with glistening flakes falling lightly outside my bedroom window. Sigh...I really do miss it. However, I can't complain as I have been without the usual winter ( Read more... )
