Words of wisdom, from Thoreau

By Justin | May 12, 2008

Absolutely speaking, the more money, the less virtue; for money comes between a man and his objects, and obtains them for him; and it was certainly no great virtue to obtain it. It puts to rest many questions which he would otherwise be taxed to answer; while the only new question which it puts is [...]

As Reading Week ends, and Finals Week begins

By Justin | May 12, 2008

Already I’ve had to alter the schedule I worked out last night. But, I’ve made some progress. I turned in my ECON256 paper this afternoon, and about an hour ago, I finished my AMST200 paper. So, I’ve got two down, and two to go (less positively, I’ve got 10 pages down, and 23 to go). [...]

Academic Hell: Apocalypse Edition™

By Justin | May 11, 2008

April 11 began my Six Days of Hell: that period, earlier in the semester, when I had three huge papers due in six days. It was, up to that time, the densest period of academic work I had had to complete, in the shortest possible timeframe, ever. Yet, those six days are now looking like [...]

Brief news update: Reading Week

By Justin | May 10, 2008

I have two papers due Monday. I have an exam Monday. And I have another paper due Wednesday. I have yet to start any of these papers. This is not good. I think I was stung by something, on the back of my calf. Also, I am scared that the birthmark on my left forearm [...]

A recent trip to Wadsworth Falls

By Justin | May 1, 2008

This past weekend, I took Yelena to Wadsworth Falls. We waded around in the river under the falls, which was difficult due to all the seaweed-algae stuff on the rocks, that made the bed of the river look like a mix of sharp angles and thick, undulating strands of hair. I cut my foot open [...]

Lists, lists, lists

By Justin | May 1, 2008

I should be reading, but of course, I’m not. Instead, I’m going to compile a list of all the things that I’ve done lately: I killed a gigantic house centipede that was crawling around on my wall. It was the biggest one I’d ever seen, and frankly, I was a little bothered by having to [...]
