The virulent affliction that is higher education has arrived. I feel the sickness within my very blood! Demons to be exorcised! Terrible terror... terrorizing terribly in every terrifyingly terrifying... terribleness... errm, okay, perhaps it is not quite that calamitous and pestilential (and other superfluous synonyms). In actuality, it was not an ( Read more... )

Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind. Seals and Croft sung it the best in that song. But, seasons come, and seasons go. And this summer is nearly at its end for me. These are the last days before the leaves begin to change and fall. The long weekends of doing a lot of nothing and nothing of anything have their ( Read more... )

3) Sammy, yet not too much.

I’ve gone to the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s summer camp since the age of six, since 1994. That makes fourteen years. In all, 84 days. Almost three months of my life.

I had the last of my finals today, which was in biology (on Monday I had another biology exam and on Tuesday it was Child Development). But last night I experienced one of those twilight zone moments, well not so otherworldly, more so oddly humorous. It made me laugh for a good five minutes!

Today I had to deliver a final exam, which I did at home and then filled in those wee little bubbles with a #2 pencil,* to my Social Psychology class. My dad drove me to the school-place to drop the test form with question that took my blood, sweat, and tears to answer.** By the Wheel of Fate, my professor had just stepped out of her SUV, and ( Read more... )

Wow. Wolf's Rain, this anime is one of the best I have ever seen. I feel so much for the characters! I was getting misty-eyed when a tragic event happened near the show's end. If anyone loves anime or even likes anime--gosh, if you even have a penchant for good storytelling, see it!

Here's a synopsis: In a post-apocalyptic future where humans live ( Read more... )

An odd thought occured to me when watching The Lion King's The Circle of Life on YouTube. In Hebrew. It was very phlegmy, except splendid. Well, remember the part when Simba is held to the sky with rays of sunlight pouring down from the heavens?
