I’m so sorry but I have to cancel today’s reading.  I’m leaving school early due to a medical emergency in my family.  Hopefully it will turn out to be nothing serious, but I have to go.
I will make a time that I’ll be on campus as soon as I can to return your portfolios to [...]

If there’s one subject that I never had an interest for its Philosophy. Baruch requires us to take it so I finally got around to it this winter intersession. You know what? Surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. The class I took was Logic, and one of the things that I’ve learned is how manipulative language [...]

This time I had no recommendations at all and I was standing in the bookstore wondering which book I should [...]

I’m going to take advantage of blog’s diary roots and vent here.  I’m pretty much devastated.  I applied for the Harman Writer in Residence class before the Fall 09 schedule was up on Blackboard and later found out that it conflicts with two marketing classes that I need to take if I plan to graduate on [...]

Yesterday we have some music lessons which I really enjoy. This different tone, energy, and speed express in one piece of music is fascinating. Lyrics and music together is an amazing enyojment.  You  can hear the music  and you can hear  [...]

1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.
2. Grandchildren are God’s reward for not killing your own children.
3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.
 4. Children [...]

Just a reminder that class meets today in the Engelman Recital Hall (theatre space in the basement of the VC).
