i ordered some books from penguin directly. they came in bleh condition and i wasn’t happy at all. so naturally i emailed penguin asking if i could return them without replacement, and penguin sent me an email saying they would give back my money and that there was no need to return the books, i could destroy them.

what with the constant demand for work to be done and books to be read, and the frightening feeling that there’s never enough time in the day, and that no matter how well-prepared i am, i can’t keep up with the rest of the class, as well as the fact that i constantly have to keep myself from breaking down into tears from stress and feeling like a failure…i wonder why i’m...
damn, only the second day back and i already wish i was done. too much work.

– St. Anselm, Proslogion
i’m a little angry because i want to get my work done, but since my older sister and her bf are staying with us for a couple of days, getting some quiet/alone time in the house is impossible. my older sister is just a little rude, loud, and annoying enough that i’m finding it kind of hard to stay neutral about this whole thing.
i just want some time to finish the butt ton of greek...

Muse - Time is Running Out
it’s been a pretty stressful and tense break so far.
i want to be home already.
I’m so glad i’m at this school. I’m in the process of writing my first semester seminar paper on the Book of Job. It’s so difficult, but so awesome. It’s probably the first paper where I’ve gotten to 8 pages without adding in a bunch of bullshit. And I still have more I want to write!
When I was a kid, my mother gave me a glossed-over version of the story of...

I am actually incredibly saddened by the death of Steve Jobs. I can’t but help feel as if that with his passing, we have lost something truly awesome. He lived and died with dignity. In the end, I think that’s all that matters.
Rest in peace, Steve Jobs. Thank you for changing my life.

Oedipus Rex, lines 14-30
ἹΕΡΕΥΣ: ἀλλ᾽ ὦ κρατύνων Οἰδίπους χώρας ἐμῆς, ὁρᾷς μὲν ἡμᾶς ἡλίκοι προσήμεθα βωμοῖσι τοῖς σοῖς, οἱ μὲν οὐδέπω μακρὰν πτέσθαι σθένοντες, οἱ δὲ σὺν γήρᾳ βαρεῖς (ἱερεὺς ἐγὼ μὲν Ζηνός), οἱ δ᾽ ἒτ᾽ ᾐθέων λεκτοί. τὸ δ᾽ἂλλο φῦλον ἐξεστεμμένον ἀγοραῖσι θακεῖ, πρός τε Παλλάδος διπλοῖς ναοῖς, ἐπ᾽ Ἰσμηνοῦ τε μαντείᾳ σποδῷ. πόλις γάρ ὣσπερ καὐτος εἰσορᾷς, ἂγαν ἢδη σαλεύει, κἀνακουφίσαι κάρα βυθῶν ἒτ᾽ οὐχ οἳα τε...

Ten years ago, I was in the 4th grade and getting ready for school like any other morning. My dad used to watch the news in the morning for traffic reports and whatnot, but that morning was something different. I still remember quite vividly the video footage of the burning and collapsing World Trade Center towers. As I watched, I couldn’t understand why it was happening, nor could I wrap my...

So I spent 5 hours on greek homework today. What am I doing with my life.
τούτοις πεποιθώς εἶμι καὶ ξυστήσομαι ἀυτός. τίς ἄλλος μᾶλλον ἐνδικώτερος; ἄρχοντι τ’ἄρχων καὶ κασιγνήτῳ κάσις, ἐχθρὸς σύν ἐχθρῷ στήσομαι. φέρ’ ὡς τάχος κνημῖδας αἰσχμῆς καὶ πέτρων προβλήματα.

i’ve lost the motivation to keep working hard. five weeks is such a long time, architecture school must be freaking intense and soul-sucking (but in a good way, like st. john’s)
ANYWAY. today i got the chance to go inside Eric Owen Moss Architects, but i couldn’t take pictures of all the cool models they had inside their office, which is a shame.
i took photos of some of...

i can’t stop watching how i met your mother. it’s turning into a real problem
i’m caked with cancer dust and my lungs are filled with chemicals, but on monday, it’s all gonna be worth it. hopefully.
i feel like such a wimp for saying this, but it’s hard living by yourself in an unfamiliar setting. i don’t like eating at restaurants because it’ll inevitably be a meal for one. i was in a grocery store thinking about how much i miss my mom’s cooking when the song “all by myself” came on over the loudspeaker haha. i’ve made friends, but there’s this...
