And back at Colgate ( Read more... )

One week and two days left until I leave for Colgate, and I need to start packing - I just dug some chili-pepper lights out of the attic for my dorm room, sweet ( Read more... )

Ahh, thus begins my final week crunch. I'm not too worried about my finals this week, but I've been pushing a 12 page paper farther and farther back and I really need to do this one justice. For the grade but mostly for my own satisfaction. McVaugh asked us to find a movie and weave it into the course material for Modernity, so I chose Rosencrantz ( Read more... )

Hmm, lets see ( Read more... )

Two things happened today:

1) Lab was canceled = 5 more hours back in my life
2) I found two tables for the SMuTCo show = 8 hours back in my life (I was going to drive to Long Island tomorrow)

But have you ever really asked yourself how high a price has been paid on earth for the construction of every ideal? How much reality had to be constantly vilified and misunderstood, how many lies had to be ( Read more... )

I feel that if I ingest enough coffee and tea at frequent enough periods, my body will make it through tomorrow's (today's?) classes and carry me into the weekend without crashing. Oh Coop coffee, how I cherish thee...

Friday:
Nietzsche at 8:20am. Oof.

Much love,

Link applications are due Friday which is scaring me exponentially more than it should. I know Freshman usually don't get chosen, but the idea of staying on with Britcom (hopefully britcom) has become increasingly appealing all year. I keep staying up way too late doing work and getting minimal sleep. I finally persuaded myself to take a nap today ( Read more... )
