One Day Left
The problem set is done… my granddad is awesome. Not only did he previously teach Calculus at Covenant for the last 15 years (around there), he also lives three minutes away from the college. I went over to their house this morning with Bets and he helped me with a lot of the problems I […]

Can I Say Prayer?
My eyes are hurting from staring at the computer screen… I spent three hours writing a Business Management paper that’s due Friday. Two pages, single spaced, 11 point font… and it took me three hours. Wow.
Now I get to freak out about Finite Mathematics. I have to hand in 12 problems tomorrow (and I’ve only done […]

Bowling and Thoughts
I went bowling tonight with a bunch of people — bowled a 121 my first game and a 133 the second. I was pretty impressed, I’m not going to lie. I think it was the highest cumulative score that I’ve bowled in two games. It was good to get off the mountain for a while.
The […]

Late Nights and Poor Attempts
It’s late, and I have to hand in a sonnet for class tomorrow. The following is the fruit of my labor from the last several hours of pondering, phone calls, and tedious writing… I know, I know. You don’t have to tell me. I’m the new John Donne or possibly even Shakespeare. It’s that good…

Surrounded Yet Alone
It’s hard feeling alone. I have never understood the feeling of being so alone when you’re surrounded by people… even your own friends. Yet I’m all too familiar with that feeling.
I was talking with a good friend of mine tonight. He’s been feeling a lot of what I’ve been feeling lately - loneliness. I was […]

John Donne
I have to write a sonnet for CHOW 2 for Friday… does anyone know how to write a sonnet in iambic pentameter with a rhyming scheme of abba, cddc, efef, and finally gg? We’re studying some of John Donne’s poetry, and the guy was a genius (at least as far as writing sonnets is concerned). To […]

While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I’m a sucker for good guitar or piano music. I’ve played the piano for a long time, and I’m still trying to work on guitar… but this youtube video is one of my favorite little pieces. Jake Shimabukuro plays this song “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” by George Harrison.

Ice Day
Classes were canceled all day today due to freezing rain. I woke up around 9:30 this morning, and checked my emails and heard that there were no classes… I looked outside in disbelief. We had about 2 inches of snow a couple days ago and only got classes canceled until 10:00 a.m. Today there is NO […]

Falling in Love
It’s been an encouraging day. I woke up feeling cold, tired, and sick… you know those nights when you fall asleep on your arms (yes, both of them), and then they pretty much become dead weight? That definitely happened to both of my arms twice during the night. And when my alarm finally went off […]
