So, the last thing of any real consequence that's happened was the KTS (King's Theatrical Society) Fringe Festival. It involved quite a few student-written plays, of which about half were worth watching and half were pretty crappy. I know this because I made a conscious (and successful) effort to see every play. Because half the people who read ( Read more... )

hmmm... why do I always end up having a love-hate relationship with livejournal? Either it overly interests me or it nearly disgusts me. I suppose the days of lj eagerness are long gone, and now we merely flirt from time to time. ..Also, when I don't get comments on what I have to say, I tend to suspect that people really aren't paying ( Read more... )

I realized that in the end, I really don't care much for philosophy. Sure, I'll study it, and sure, I'll discuss it intelligently, but I don't ever want to force myself into trying to make a living from it. In six papers I have written so far, the furthest I have come from solid literature was the Bible, and even then I analyzed the passage as a ( Read more... )

I am ridiculously happy right now. I found out that I have schooled my first semester of FYP. I got a B+ overall grade, an A- on the midterm, two A-'s on the oral exam, and best of all, an A- on the proposition paper! I can't believe it, I thought it was a terrible paper... Still, no complaints. And combine that with a 96 on the Latin final, ( Read more... )

So, now I will write on the post-Christmas season, although in all technicality, it still is Christmas. I refrain from commenting (for the most part) on the material end of Christmas, but I shall reveal that I received some cool things and that I did not receive certain other cool things. I went to the National Cathedral, to the Smithsonian, and ( Read more... )

Merry (Happy) Christmas to all ( Read more... )

Oh dearest poets,
so poetic in your poetiness,
your poetosity,
and your poetifications.
you irritate me.
a lot.

This last week has been..busy. Monday was FYP midterm, which felt like it went well. That night I finally figured out what I was going to write about for my paper while chatting with my don while eating ginger snaps and drinking leftover port and coughing on the smoke that didn't go up the chimney. Tuesday was spend writing that paper, which ( Read more... )

So, we finished Dante yesterday. Tell me, is it a bad thing to be fully a Medievalist at heart? I stayed up until 2 am on monday, I think, or maybe tuesday, talking about Christianity and government, public vs private health care, and stuff like that. Oh, it was tuesday, i remember now. Yeah, so I think i really freaked out some people by ( Read more... )

kinda crappy. Lecture was on Medieval art, and you'd think that'd be cool, no? Especially when I recognize that Medieval art isn't my strong point. But no. It started off with the lecturer giving us handouts that had her entire lecture outline, combined with some comparatively useless information about architecture. Way to treat us like spoiled ( Read more... )
