Why is it so bright out? I hate this time of year, except that school is coming to an end and I couldn't be happier, I am drained and in need of an extended break ( Read more... )

I should first warn everyone that I wrote the majority of this post Monday after the lecture, so there will be some discrepancies in my references to the day seeing as how I am posting this entry today and not Monday (as I had initially intended). Here it goes ( Read more... )

As I am sure you noticed, I was not in lecture Monday for reasons you also know. But I am glad to report that my car is now in working order.

The earliest Canadian authors were very aware of this, as they were of course immigrants from Britain and were in most cases awe ( Read more... )

This post isn't exactly related to this week's anchor poem, although I could argue that indirectly it is. However, I am not in the mood for arguing or even formality. I know, I am even shocking myself; however, it is late, I am lonely and fascinated by Sikhism. So, I am recommending that anyone interested in world religions view this documentary ( Read more... )
