A Nightmare To Remember
I had to have been less than seven at the time, though I don’t recall exactly what age I was. All I remember is that I was quite young — maybe four or five years old.
I had just woken up, and the house was flooded. Water surrounded me, and I felt scared. The water was [...]
Truth Versus Privacy
I received an e-mail from my father recently. He said that he has been enjoying reading my online diary. He hasn’t seen much of me ever since he moved to Miami, but I think the presence of my journal online is of some comfort to him. It makes the distance not quite so distant. (The [...]
Winter Nights (Or Is It Fall?)
Yesterday, I took a trip to Bellingrath Gardens.
It was cold, but not very. I easily got away with weaing only a short-sleeved shirt, and only thought about the cold whenever a particularly harsh wind blew by. However, everyone else there was wearing layers upon layers of jackets…
I used to be like them, you know. It [...]
Am I Becoming Normal?
Wow… What a productive day I’ve had thus far…
I took my literature class exam at nine am this morning, and I have my calculus exam this afternoon at two pm. But this is of no real importance compared to what else happened today.
You see, as of today, I have a legal tag on my car, [...]
Why I Listen To Music
Why I Listen To Music
I had twenty-two hours of sleep last night.
I have three more final exams, but I’m not worried about them. At least not compared to how I was worried about my theology final; thank God I got that out of the way.
Anyway, at this point, I’m supposedly studying for my finals tomorrow. [...]
On The Relevance Of Minutiae
Ugh — I hate my theology class.
I mean, my professor, Father Harmless, is a wonderful teacher. I have learned quite a bit in his class (though not all that I’ve learned is the same as what he intended as the most important to be taught). And I really don’t mind the idea of learning the [...]
What FOD Means To Me
{{note: FOD stands for ‘Free Open Diary’, where this entry was originally posted.}}
Last night, P and I went for a long walk across the golf course grounds. It was dark, and combined with my tinted glasses, it was tough to see things. But it was enjoyable nonetheless.
I think what made it most interesting was the [...]
C++ Final Exam
This morning, I woke up at 2:20 pm. Ordinarily, this is no big deal, but today I had a C++ programming final exam that started at two o’clock, so of course I was worried from the moment I first looked at a clock.
I jumped, got in the shower for a total of perhaps thirty seconds, [...]
The Virtueless Girl
“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” -Socrates
A tear rolls down my cheek as I look at her. She, like so many others, is ignorant of the fact that I am watching her. But her ignorance does not stop there. She lacks so many qualities: intelligence, beauty, persistence… And yet she strikes [...]
A Lack Of Confidence
Well, final exams have finally arrived.
Strangely, I don’t feel confident that I will do well, despite the cognizant knowledge that of course I will. After all, I always do well in my classwork, except when I don’t put in my best effort. I imagine I will pass every test with flying colors, and yet still [...]
