Murphys Law Gone Right

Well, as I write this post I am currently in the library.  I would like to be able to tell you that I completed all of my work far ahead of schedule, but sadly that’s not the case.  I do have 10 pages of a 15-20 page paper due Wednesday, so that’s a start (unless [...]

As intersession ends, I’m gearing up for my last semester at Hopkins.  While many of my classes are undecided, there is one that won’t change.  By taking the philosophy seminar, I will finally complete my major here at Hopkins.  I’m not planning on going to graduate school for philosophy so this could feasibly be the last class I [...]

Well, I am home. Sadly, I’m not done. After finishing a 12-15 page paper yesterday, I’ve moved on (just started) this 10-15 page one due…..Monday!  It’s been a rough finals period, but I think all of my hard work is paying off. Even with all work, I’ve still managed to have some fun.  Sadly, you can’t see the full [...]

Just wanted to write a short and mini-update since I will probably be living in a cave for the next two weeks.  Fall finals are upon us.   Unfortunately, I am typically blessed with the most horrendous final schedule.  I’m not saying that its worse than anyone elses, but just that out of all the [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!  It occurred to me that as I contemplated topics for this blog that I did not ever once write about my classes for the semester.  Well, considering that the semester is almost over and I’m on a mini-break for Thanksgiving, I might as well take advantage of my time off and write benevolent [...]

As I sit here in the library, not necessarily burning the midnight lamp (which is probably what they use to do at universities like Oxford way back when) but working late on a long paper on a very interesting subject, I decided I would reflect on my love of the library.  I’ll be honest, freshman year, I [...]

The classes for next semester are up on the website, and I realize I will miss some great courses that will be offered at Hopkins while I’m abroad. I will especially miss my philosophy classes and fellow philosophers that will graduate in the spring. Honestly, where else will others indulge me to postulate about the [...]

I’ll be honest, I was really drawing a blank in regards to what I wanted to write about for this week. Not because I didn’t have anything to say, in fact, it is quite the opposite.  A lot has happened in my life.  The problem lies in the fact that there is no particular connection between all of [...]

There is honestly something so romanticized about writing on a train. While I am only writing a blog, and not the Great American Novel, it still has a wonderful nature about it. If I ever become an author, maybe I will just schedule long train rides and write while on them. Trans-Siberian railroad anyone? Well, [...]

So, this week I was very busy and yet, this coming week I will be even more busy.  It’s very stressful when you have to work, go to class, do homework, look for apartments, and apply to internships all at once.  Not only did I do this, but I also went to court.  No, I [...]
