Mor(t)ality

Have you ever contemplated the single letter difference between morality and mortality? They're both subjects quite interesting to ponder.

Before I go to sleep every night, both of these ideas percolate in my mind for no real reason. They just do.

I'd like to think objective standards of right and wrong exist, and I'd like to believe that everyone can see and abide by them. But more and more, I'm believing that truth is indeed fragmented and subjective.

Morality, likewise, is perplexing. It's disturbing to me, even though I see the cycle of life in motion each day. Somebody's somebody is being born. Somebody's somebody is dying.

Actually, this is an ongoing discussion in my mind that is only enhanced by the capstone course I'm taking. You know, maybe the capstone is useful after all. It's entitled law and literature, but it really extends way beyond that realm. We examine the fictions of representation and the artifice of law.

At the moment, I'm convinced that the past does not exist, but I know that this point of view is unsustainable. At some point, we must come to terms to reach some sort of agreement of reality, I think.

things I am excited about today

1. Issue 3 of the Bucknellian! Much love!
2. Choice Dance Party
3. Studying all weekend!
4. Fun notes from friends!
5. The chai tea latte I'm going to get myself after I'm done with tomorrow's math homework.

thoughts

You know, I had forgotten how much fun it was to blog...

But anyway, recently I've realized the importance of good posture. It's becoming an issue ever increasing in importance since I realized that poor posture often makes a person look terrible in photos.

And a picture is worth a thousand words...oh, and everyone sees them on Facebook. You can hide nothing from the Internet.

Oh, and my back hurts. So, note to self: sit up/stand up straight.

Ok I'm back.

I tried to blog last week, but then I ended up staying up until just around 4 a.m. because of the newspaper. I got really distracted.

So I'm going to complete a two-minute blog. Clocking in...now.

So, life at BU is quite stressful, what with my three jobs and my non-paid job at the newspaper. We're going to rectify that next year. I do assure you.

I have virtually no free time, aside from right now when I just finished re-reading some more texts on the nature of law and history for my seminar. The seminar is very long and dull when no one participates. Last week I was completely incoherent due to lack of sleep, but now I'm ready for it. I might even take a nap after dinner to prepare myself for the very long night ahead at the newspaper.

This week I had three interviews with potential employers. I think they went well, and I'm glad I went through the process. It's a learning experience. We all must start somewhere.

Yesterday I also attended a reception to introduce post-baccalaureate fellowships. I think I'm going to apply to them because...really, if you're not in it, then you can't win it. So here it goes.

Other than that, I'm very tired, very busy. Story of my life. End.

Probably bye for a while

I lost touch with blogging.

很忙

我忙得要命!没有空.

I love when the sun comes out.

The other day I was in a Joseph Gordon-Levitt mood, so I watched 10 Things I Hate About You. Still so good.

Hm, what else?

I haven't charged my phone in a few days. Either my new phone has an extraordinary battery life, or I just have no one to talk to. I hope it's the former.

I'm hungry.
