Thursdays are the most exquisite days.
Two French classes, then a class on spiritual texts with the most unique (poor, poor word to describe him) professor I’ve ever had, then a wonderful, loud, delicious, ridiculous, crowded, busy, joyous potluck with my co-op members and others.

I'm a pretty terrible student.
I appreciate certain unexpected/heartening “likes” on Facebook from people I haven’t heard from in a while…it makes me want to get in touch with the person again. I’m in the most complicated yet superficial and typical situation of my life. I’m trying to make myself more rational and civil-minded but it’s difficult. I’m mellow yet very...
