Sick
On Friday I began to feel lightheaded around 1:00 or 1:30 pm, by 3:00 pm I had a headache, by 5:30 I felt weak, and by 7:00 I turned off the AC while driving because I was too cold. I was sick and I knew it. By the time Hannah returned home I had a full on fever of 101 degrees. I was dilirious and weak, but the fever broke by mid-morning on ( Read more... ) -
Refreshing
Last week I realized that I self-generating a lot of unneccessary stress in my life. For example, my apartment is a mess and I have been getting up a little later each day. When I come home at night I see clutter everywhere and when I get up in the morning I am rushing for no good reason ( Read more... ) -
Succint Thoughts on Pressing Issues of the Week
Cordoba House: Don't just allow it to proceed, embrace it. But then hold the leader accountable for promoting religious tolerance. If he really wants to promote religious tolerance, he should already be planning to expand his institution into Iran and Saudi Arabia ( Read more... ) -
On Weekends
I felt like I was living out a haiku poem this entire weekend. I miss my friends, my family, and I spent much of the weekend longing for a less complicated life. Super emo. -

This week has brought its fair share and then some of bad news. But last night was absolutely wonderful. Spent much of the evening drinking, joking, eating, and enjoying the summery weather on ND's roof with my friends. I could have fallen asleep up there ( Read more... ) -
Good Day!
JA came back to the office so I can go back to learning at a more comfortable pace. The past two weeks I have been frantically working in an attempt to keep up with everything. I failed in my attempt to be JA, but I learned a lot along the way and had many notable successes. I think I have a slight man-crush on him. and BS, but only because he ( Read more... ) -
On Work
The past two weeks I think I have been working about 12-13 hours per day because JA has been out of the office, which means I have been responsible for everything economic that comes across the desk. Even though I feel that I've learned as much or more while filling in than I have in the past two months, I still feel behind; I still have hundreds ( Read more... )
