It wasn’t until I woke up at 7 AM this morning that I realize that I’ve basically been in a daze (haze?) all weekend starting from Thursday. And Mondays are exhausting for me, I basically have class from 9:30 AM til 4 PM in the afternoon (Latin from 9:30-10:20, Bio from 10:30-11:20, Bio lab from [...]

I thought college would motivate me enough to end my fixation on procrastination, but it hasn’t. My bio lab that’s due tomorrow is killing me right now…
The annual Halloween Party took place last night, but instead of being in Mary Lyon (a dorm), it was in Upper Tarble and Paces (upstairs and downstairs of the same building). [...]

So after a bizarre heat wave last week, the weather has finally cooled down into the low 60s, but with today being absolutely freezing in the mid-50s. It’s been gloomy and rainy since yesterday, and it will be for the rest of this week, but I’m still glad that fall has finally come and made [...]

Leo Steinberg, famous art critic and former UPenn Art History professor, spoke at Swarthmore today to a packed lecture hall. Going beyond the original amount of time he was going to speak for (and allowing Q&A afterwards as an added bonus), Steinberg discussed the problem of taking at face value what prominent scholars/historians/critics write and [...]

Back to school, back to Swarthmore. Instead of being well-rested and ready to go for classes, they were exhausting, but that’s to be expected. Eating meals with friends is such a nice part of the day that I had missed early during break.
And now it’s 10:30 and I still haven’t started [...]

Control: a biopic about Joy Division’s late singer Ian Curtis, who tragically committed suicide at the age of 23. This is director Anton Corbijn’s, of photography and music video fame, first attempt at a full-length feature. The film is based on the book Touching from a Distance by Curtis’ widowed wife Deborah and was shot on black [...]

After more than a month of not driving at Swarthmore, I have come to one conclusion while at home for fall break: driving is stressful. Well, maybe not the act of driving itself, since I pretty much drive with the same skill that I had before (except that blind spots freak the hell out of [...]

I first saw this film two years ago, during the fall of my junior year in high school. Our school’s book club (which was really more like a small group of people who enjoyed reading than a club) had been binging on some existential lit. and thus we thought it appropriate to watch Bergman’s classic [...]

Dorms: Mertz to the left, Alice Paul to the right (the modern looking building with construction in front)
Five days left of fall break…watching endless hours of mind-numbing television combined with reading 100 pages of Anna Karenina a day is getting sort of old. I may drive to Swat tomorrow or Thurdsay just to get away [...]

I meant to post this a few days ago, but never got around to it. It’s just a little something that Ann Coulter said lately, that I’m sure most people have already heard about, but that I’m posting anyways. Because maybe if I post it, it will become more tangible to me, and I can [...]
