1. I am still afraid of being alone in dark spaces
2. There is a herd of elephants living in the apartment above
3. I am a lot more lonely than I thought
4. I miss walking around in my underwear and a tank top.
5. I miss my sister, we are finally learning how to get along.
6. I need to stock my fridge with more than just the bare necessities.
I did my Modes reading; Pope's 2nd Epistle on Man...I almost died of boredom. Now I am staring at a 100 pages worth of Spinoza reading. Perhaps the LAC was a mistake, I'm not feeling it. I don't know if it's just insecurities cropping up because all these political texts are dense and I'm not getting it while everyone else is, or maybe it's my little cricket on the shoulder telling me I don't have what it takes for this kind of program
*pity party* Ha! Oh dear...enough. I love the LAC, I don't know what's wrong with me. I think I'm more than just a little overwhelmed with the job, school and being in a new place.
But on a great note...I made myself rigatoni with a marinara sauce, it was delicious! I've started hanging things on my walls, well in my room at least. I'll post some photos of the apartment once it starts looking a little less bare.
Listening to:
Josh Ritter- just a mix of my favorite songs by him.
Reading (trying to:)
Spinoza
Looking forward to:
Going home for Rosh Hashanah, going to shul and eating big meals with my family
don't feel like you aren't up to snuff in your class. i PROMISE everyone else is faking it--they don't have a clue what is going on. i recommend getting yourself a copy of a book called "the history of political philosophy" by leo strauss and joesph corpsey. it is the perfect companion book for reading any political treatise. rigatoni sounds so good to me right now. i am craving crabs today (when am i not craving carbs!)
ReplyDeletelove you! good luck with school!
I will definitely pick up a copy of that book once I swing by Indigo! I was thinking of our Isiah talk and I can't believe it's almost been a year!
