Writer's Block: Guarding the Terrorists
Given the complete illegality of the existence of Guantanamo, let alone the conditions the people held there are subjected to, I would morally object to being a prison guard.
Let's also consider the innocence of many of the people at Gitmo and the way in which they were deemed worthy of being there (ie the incentive system in Afghanistan). The ( Read more... ) -

Final Teach For America interview tomorrow.
I'm kind of freaking out. But kind of at peace. Here's hoping!

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, that dizzy-dancing way that you feel...
I ran 4.5 miles today. It felt so so good. I actually wanted to go longer (which is rare for me), but my Achille's tendon has been killing me lately. I think it's torn, like it was in London...and that only requires ice and elevation. As long as it doesn't rupture. That would suck. WebMD freaks me out.
The next couple of weeks will be exceedingly ( Read more... ) -

I need to wrap up a million loose ends this evening so I can fly to Barcelona tomorrow with my peace of mind intact. I just need to finish up a paper, write a journal response, jot down a few questions for a speaker that's coming to my Politics of Climate Change class, and ensure that I have all of my essentials packed into my backpack. I'm worried ( Read more... ) -
I like this quote.
"Entangled entities (particles or photons) are linked together because they were produced by some process that bound them together in a special way. For example, two photons emitted from the same atom as one of its electrons descends down two energy levels are entangled. (Energy levels are associated with the orbit of an electron in the atom.)

I love zodiac signs.
"The Aries woman is not the kind you can lead in circles. She wants to know where she is going and has some ideas on how to get there. In loving her, do not fall into a routine or rut. Respond to her romantic flair. Lend fuel to her desire for experimentation. This woman can be temperamental/headstrong/independent and she can exude a kind of ( Read more... ) -

How those furious affections followed you.
I feel like I'm laughing a lot more this semester than I ever did last semester. Maybe that's untrue. But it seems like it. I always end up staying up late with Anne or Phil (or both, as was the case last night) until the point that we laugh at everything. Anne and I were rolling on the floor of our room last night because Prince Ali from Aladdin ( Read more... ) -
Glow, glow, melt and flow, eviscerate your fragile frame.
I have had a fantastic day, which I honestly was not expecting. I met with Mindy and Dr.Berg today to discuss my possible minor of human rights, which I've been considering since last semester (Stephanie, I know you're proud). Human rights is not a current offering at JCU, but the honors program allows a design-your-own-major/minor. They are ( Read more... )
