Adventures on the streets of Abington

By Justin | June 27, 2007

The semi-regular jogging I’ve taken up lately has started to pay off. I’m feeling more energetic, the distance is already noticeably easier after only a few runs, and my legs are holding up better than expected. I’ve lost maybe a pound, and I think I’m looking a little better than I was just a week [...]

“You don’t want no drama…”

By Justin | June 22, 2007

Hmm.. It’s quite difficult to resist jumping into the fray over the iPhone drama at Wesleying. Especially in the face of such baiting! Ah! Must resist! Is Wesleyan not the utopia I thought it was? (lol. I guess my conception of Wes as a utopia deliberately excluded thought of such things at WesConfess, the ACB, [...]

Summer thunderstorms

By Justin | June 1, 2007

One of the best parts about being home during the summer is the traditional afternoon thunderstorm. Back in Middletown, we got maybe one or two thunderstorms a year, and they weren’t very big. But here, severe weather rolls in from the Berkshires all the time, and we get awesome thunderstorms with lightning and hail and [...]

The mercury’s rising, as are my spirits

By Justin | May 25, 2007

The temperature climbed to over 90º today, and it was bright and sunny all day long. It was glorious, and a sure sign that summer has arrived. I’m elated. Other than the arrival of the hot weather, not much happened today. I spent the better part of the day trying to get the cable internet [...]

A very trying day, now finished

By Justin | May 8, 2007

I was up until around 8:00 this morning finishing up lots of reading, web design, and a paper rewrite that I (obviously) left until the last possible moment. I put a bunch of Post-It Notes on my door urging anyone who walked by to knock very loudly if it was past 10:15. It worked. As [...]

Pseudo-stream of consciousness at 3:46 AM

By Justin | May 1, 2007

Saturday night (or more accurately, Sunday morning) has been a constant fixture in my mind. I can’t get it off my mind. I was trying so hard to focus on Jean Toomer and Ernest Hemingway today in American Lit, but it just wasn’t working. Speaking of American Lit, there was a girl sitting behind me [...]

Observations from the bed of Justin

By Justin | April 16, 2007

A faint beeping permeates the air around me. It’s a bit of a distraction, I’ll admit. A hallmate’s alarm? I cannot know for sure. I consider getting up to knock on the noisemaker’s door, because after all, it’s 5:16 AM. But the comfort of my bed precludes me from doing so, and I continue to [...]

Spring, accompanied by more photos

By Justin | March 27, 2007

Wow. So, it’s 69º outside and gorgeous. We had class outside Memorial Chapel today, and after that, I took a walk downtown to hit up the bank. No jacket needed! It was quite a lovely thing. I had contemplated a trip to Wadsworth Falls, but I’m slightly sick (as are all the guys from the [...]

Bizarre weather and canceled classes

By Justin | February 14, 2007

My first class today, RELI 212, was canceled, so I am going to nap until 1:00, which is when my next class meets. I don’t feel like going 26 hours without sleep today. It’s bad enough that I’m on hour 18 now after not having more than four consecutive hours of sleep since Saturday night. [...]

All-nighter #1 and the disappointment of bad forecasting

By Justin | February 14, 2007

I am pulling my first all-nighter of the semester to complete lots of reading and a response paper. Even if I go to sleep with all this unfinished, I’d still have to wake up in less than two hours, so it’s pretty much not even worth it. The thing that sucks is, I’m basically going [...]
