Dreams of Tardiness
I feel melancholy today. I had a strange night. Usually I sleep well...I might wake up in the middle of the night, but I fall back asleep pretty quickly. Last night I woke up around 2, and then couldn't sleep. Sometime after 5 I must have dozed off and had horrible dreams. I dreamed I was asked to be a bridesmaid in the wedding of one of my GEM ( Read more... ) -
The Night Sky and Jane Eyre
"Worn out with this torture of thought, I rose to my knees. Night was come, and her planets were risen: a safe, still night; too serene for the companionship of fear. We know that God is everywhere; but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us: and it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His ( Read more... ) -

(Untitled)
I haven't really written anything like this. I'm not sure what prompted me to do it now...Perhaps enough time has passed that the internal anger is ready to be put to paper in desire to prevent other young girls from getting swept into abusive relationships. So I guess I'm writing mostly to girls (although guys can also be the victim), to their ( Read more... ) -
Chapman Conference: Fundamental Properties of Magnetotails
Iceland was absolutely beautiful. It was exotic, and yet strangely felt like home. I think the latter may have resulted from the fact that it was “end of winter” season so there was brown grasses and sleeping trees; there was a large fjord and a harbor; there was snow; the clouds looked more like the clouds from home; and the people look more ( Read more... )
