Who am I?

Where did I go?

These last few months ago I stopped... being. I stopped taking pleasure in the things I love, and pursuing the things I was interested with any fervor.

Monday I issued a petty comment, yesterday I borrowed money, today I sat in the back of the classroom.

This week a girl I don't remember said that I hate her and have actively done so since highschool. High School where I met her maybe once and I have nothing but good to say of my memories of her.

What is happening to me? I don't like where this is going.

Trouble on the Horizon

So our government has decided, for a reason that truly escapes me, to cut the funding for a large majority of our college. Cleaning staff, teachers, regular staff, programs... everything is being effected in some sense. The official walk out is on wed, a day I don't even have day classes, so in my place if anyone wants to protest feel free to hop on the bus and head down to the parliament buildings.

This funding cut will leave teachers and staff out on the streets. Our nursing program, one of the largest on the island, is being cut in half. Whole buildings are being left unattended as janitors and repair men are being let go. At the moment, one man is now responsible for cleaning two whole buildings.

I'm not going to tell you this is outrageous - you are intelligent people (I know this because you are reading my blog, thus you must be intelligent :)

I love this song. It's always interesting when I go online and find something new and nerdy that I can relate to.

Sometimes I imagine a world where nerdy references are apparent in average everyday songs, like Online or Don't laugh at me. It's funny that the most often played nerdy songs on the radio are country songs. :)

This is just amazing

A rough elaboration of Italian Poetry.

Our class was given an iambic pentameter to translate for Italian. And by translate I mean find words in english that correspond well with the Italian words... no actual translation. Here is my deciphering:

Irregular Translation.

Here the graceless sing and scold the sparrow,

for his puling song fractured graceless day.

Quarreled fools who preserve a guarded state,

and shame by voice that strewn and weaned lost heart.

So tempt not maid who ‘pears deft to repair

when counters to comply do arm and mount.

Secure a sensible and once made guide.

No commune colors eyes incoming rows.

So prove to me the armor dealt’s disarm’d,

apart of vice from cloaking add courage.

By shade and grime and sophists use of verse,

for all my part, no life and honors rate.

Fear reared and made seats into quarreled state.

A voice when armed, no monsters pure lark knows.
