Patience, love is coming 'round
Coffee makes me high, I've decided. I just got back from Duke, where I had a very large hot caffeinated beverage (French Vanilla roast). I slept in a tent all night with Bowen snoring next to me (not the most restful of conditions) yet when I hit the highway, a feeling of tremendous lightness and freedom hit me. It's the kind of day where it's a ( Read more... ) -
AXΩ
Okay, so I think I’ve calmed down enough to be able to write a coherent post about this week. In case you’ve been living under a rock on Mars, I went through rush and am now an Alpha Chi Omega (official Greek letters shown above).
It was a long week, and I began it in love with AOΠ, the sorority reputed to have the highest overall GPA. As an Honors ( Read more... ) -
Living in the Future
Don't worry, darling, now baby don't you fret
we're living in the future
and
none of this happened yet
--Bruce Springsteen
God knows if I know what those lyrics mean. It has a good melody, though.
So, to summarize what I'll write tomorrow about the common themes of the ecclesiastical texts (the authors I covered in the last post)
1. The primacy of ( Read more... ) -
Studying
Hear me out; you'll be glad to know this. And since I haven't made a post for a while, and I have a final tomorrow, this is a fine way, in my mind, to integrate separate causes and thus 'kill two birds with one stone.' And besides, history is downright marvelous sometimes.
Consider:
St. Columba, an Irish monk (of course he's Irish, no one else would ( Read more... ) -
And now for something completely different!
War and Peace modern casting!
Because I could hear multitudes of voices clamoring out for my opinion!
Pierre Bezukhov-a much older, much heavier Daniel Radcliffe. After he’s graduated from the Harry Potter films, he alone will have the quixotic combination of warmth and gravitas to pull it off. He would be gentle, kind, and almost (pardon the pun) ( Read more... ) -
Sing, Sing, Sing
Yes, a music post. Because I have nothing to focus on other than the terrifying prospect I failed my chem final. Anyone could have seen that coming, except me. I am just too stubborn sometimes. My grade will prove whether I am justified in my pig-headedness.
I am listening to Vivaldi's Gloria, the most compact, elegant and self-contained expression ( Read more... ) -
F.I.N.A.L.S. (and you know what that stands for)
This has been a really stressful week. The rest of this post is going to be me ranting, so choose carefully whether you have the time or energy for it. I started my Global project on Sunday: a bells-and-whistles Powerpoint attempting to explain what went wrong with Africa and whether or not it's the West's responsibility to fix it (since we kind of ( Read more... ) -
On Feeling the Urge to Write and Having Everything Turn Out to be Utter Crap
Just thought I'd try my hand at writing nineteenth-century-novel chapter titles. So, I realized that I hadn't updated in three weeks, and all I have written in three weeks are Lewis Dot Structures. Somehow the arrangement of valence electrons doesn't approximate Tolstoy. But at the same time, since I've come to college I've realized that my writing ( Read more... ) -
Unité
There are so many faces in the world, and all of them reveal so much more than their wearers suspect. The men, bowed with work in hard hats, have sun-lined, weary faces, yet somehow dignified, like exiled kings. The simplicity of some faces is startling. I saw a three-year-old boy, delighted in his mother's arms, as he discovered the buttons on his ( Read more... ) -
I was at the largest Republican rally in North Carolina--ask me how!
I just saw Sarah Palin speak ( Read more... )
