saturation point

Posted in Life of a Student on November 29, 2005 | 4 Comments »

so, finals are next week. I have three exams – one in Rationalists, one in Justice in Global Perspective, and one in Philosophy of Mind – all scheduled for Monday. (I'm trying to get Rationalists moved – three is too much, and not allowed according to Dalhousie's regulations.) Then, I have a paper due on [...]

measure your life in love

On a happier note, I went to see RENT tonight. It was so wonderful. The acting and the music was fantastic – it makes me wish I had seen it in its early days off-Broadway. Much of the original cast from the play were in the movie, with a couple of dynamite additions. The story [...]

I'm also obsessed with KT [...]

baby baby baby

So I'm going to a baby shower later today for a friend whose baby is due next month. I hate these things. I am not particularly maternal, and I don't really want to have children myself. The thought of being pregnant disgusts me. When I see pregnant, unclothed bellies it makes me a bit sick [...]

Flanders Fields

Today is Remembrance Day in Canada, the day we give respect to those who fought and died in WWI. I never much liked Remembrance Day as a child. I don't know why. I hated going to the assemblies in the gym, hated listening to the stories of the war told by the Veterans. I [...]
