Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die...

In memory of my Lola

I'm such a dolt. I was playing soccer tonight (as I usually do on tuesday nights), and was playing goalie (yet again). I decided to hang on the crossbar for a little bit just to stretch. Now I know that the indoor goals are really short, but then again, so am I, so I have to jump to be able to get a grip on the top of the bar. I don't know what I was doing, but on my way up, I hit the bar on my way up and proceded to jam my pinky finger on my right hand. And it's really sore. I'm such an idiot.

In other non-embarrasing news, there is a full lunar eclipse tomorrow night at 9:14pm. Go watch and revel in the moonlight! PSF is also hosting a trip to the Loj this friday to saturday. It's for anyone and everyone, and we're not doing churchy stuff, so come join us! Oh, and save the date: Next thursday, Nov 4, the Tufts Chorale and Chamber will be holding an American Folk Concert in Goddard Chapel at 8pm. Stop by as a break from studying. We have some awsome soloists. :)

As stupid and lame as the movie might look, I really enjoyed watching The Perfect Score, a movie that came out earlier this year. It basically documents a group of six kids who try to steal the answers to the SATs (more commonly know as the Suck Ass Test). While not the most intelligent movie, it had its "awwww" parts and its hilarious parts. I'd recommend watching it if you're bored and feel like taking it easy. Then again, it only cost me a dollar and four cents to rent the movie, so maybe I'm not being as harsh, but Kerry and Julie really liked it to. :) Watch it and make your own judgement.

You know, a lot of people would think these questions are difficult... not me.
- No?
No. These questions all have answers.

For the sixth night in a row I'm watching the Yankees v. RedSox game. And I don't even like baseball. I just get very territorial and very competitve. Now I know that I do not live in New York City, or even New York state, but I only live 10 minutes away. That's a heck of a lot closer than a lot of other people that live in NY state. Anyway, NJ doesn't have a baseball team, so I need someone to root for. NJ and NY do share some sports teams, like the MetroStars, The Giants (who play in NJ), and now The Nets are being moved to NY. Haha, but only in New York would you need to bring police out onto the field in full riot gear. Yeah baby... Gotta love the big apple.

New Jersey is the greatest state in the country. Before I set foot on the campus three and a half years ago, I wasn't aware of this fact. I was also unaware anybody would have disdain for a place he or she has barely spent any time in. Soon, though, I learned all about the "real" New Jersey: the disgusting armpit of America, packed with landfills and highways, with Newark Airport in between.

And apparently everybody from the state is a big jerk.

I beg to differ. We've got the best beaches, the best food, the best girls and plenty of famous people representing Jersey proudly.

Dude. I have serious issues. I don't know why I always happen upon these problems at night when all I can do is lie in my bed and ponder about it until I fall alseep. Thinking + Night = Bad.

Cute movie to watch: The Very Thought of You

I'm such a dork.

I really relish in it though. I did a psych experiment today (as part of my 6 required hours for psy 1) about Probability and Reasoning. It was basically a bunch of probablility questions. Being the math geek that I am, I actually did computations and what not. I actually asked the girl running the experiment if she had the answers to the questions. And I was actually sad because she didn't have the answers. Oh well. My geekiness will live on.

You're an interesting species, an interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams... and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable... is each other. ~Contact

leave it to oprah to have a good quote...

"Tomorrow is not promised, nor is today. So I choose to celebrate every day I'm alive by being present in it. Living in the present means letting go of the past and not waiting for the future."
