Murphys Law Gone Right

Well, I suppose this is my first time live-blogging.  I am currently watching USA vs Canada vie for the gold medal.   I have so dearly loved watching the Olympics, it will be sad tonight when they end. Throughout the last two weeks I have gone to Olympic parties, dressed up as a curler, had watching/studying [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Just so you know, this title has nothing to do with what I’m going to write about.  In fact, it isn’t that hard to live in the city, I’m just obsessed with this song.  If you haven’t, you should really search the songs that are in the CW’s Gossip Girl.  They have the best soundtrack. [...]

I have finished all my papers.  Now I only have 5 finals before I get to go home.  Unfortunately I won’t be going home until the 20th because the train schedule was very weird and I couldn’t find a train that would leave after 5 on the 19th.  In any case, I have two finals [...]

In fact, this statement is not true.  I will not be home for Christmas.  I won’t even be in the United States.  For Christmas, I will be traveling in Prague and for New Years, I will be in Vienna.  I really can’t wait to go!  If I could just skip over all the work that [...]
