Greetings

you have no idea how many drafts of this post I have. I didn't know quite what to say, and to be honest, I've been to busy to sit down and properly post.

however, today I had my first meltdown in Philly.

There's a lot of things going on, personal, financial, and scholastic, and while I'm quite used to being stressed, almost nothing gets me more upset then when I have questions and the people in charge cant/wont help me.

Um, hello, sorry to inconvenience you, but this is MY LIFE HERE so can you stop being a douche and talk to me? Or, better yet, can I talk to you without going through 500 burning loops of death via the automated telephone service?

School is tough man. 3 hours of class everyday. But that's not even the part that's rough, it's the homework. The first day, it took me like 12 hours to complete the assignment, yesterday, I didn't even finish the homework. Its 3 hours of class and something like 8 hrs** of homework. That's like, my whole day.

**8 hrs, but I havent done this in 2 years so my Greek is so ridiculously bad. I feel like a failure in this class, and I'm desperately trying to jog my memory to get Greek back. But as it is, an 8 hour assignment takes me something like 12 hours. No freaking joke.

That doesn't leave a lot of time for very much else. I've only really had time to explore things within like a mile radius (hey I don't have a car!) so I'm hoping to get out this weekend to see something of the city beyond west philly.

And no, I haven't yet had a Philly cheesesteak.

Also, its HUMID here. blistering heat/humidity is probably the biggest adjustment here. I feel like I'm in the freaking PI. Gross stickiness, bleh.

Um... what else? The campus is beautiful. I feel like I'm going to an actual school now. All brick and wooden doors and just overall tree-ness makes me happy.

Now if I could stop getting lost...

ALright this took me too long to type up. Must study. Study or die.

"I bless the Lord who counsels me; even at night my heart exhorts me. I keep the Lord always before me; with the Lord at my right, I shall never be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad, my soul rejoices; my body also dwells secure, For you will not abandon me to Sheol, nor let your faithful servant see the pit.
You will show me the path to life, abounding joy in your presence, the delights at your right hand forever." Psalm 16: 7-11.

Beloved

oι φιλoι,

I has been my sincerest wish that I could offer your something more—something more eloquent, something more profound, something more than these words on paper— but I was entirely at a loss. Forgive my lack of grace.

When I think of moving of Philadelphia my heart clenches in my chest. I am overcome with remorse. I grow considerable more despondent as the days go by and my departure looms near. I have loved everything about San Diego. But as much as this place—and its wind, sand, and stars, have irrevocably marked me, so much more have you, dear friend.

For you are the very colors of my life.

And so the thought that we must part—for a time as yet undefined, breaks my heart more than I can say. I regret not being able to bear witness to the greatness that is your life.

You should know that I am nothing without you.

And you shall remain irreplaceable in my life. No matter where I venture, or whom I may meet, nothing and no one can replace the memories I have with you, my friends.

I am fully aware of how lucky I have been to have thus known you. And I want to let you know how proud I am of you and what you’ve done in your life. You will continue to do great things.

Let’s continue on.

I will end this simply.

Thank you. A thousand times, thank you.

Be well. Be happy.

Live Beautifully.

Until we meet again~~

Bringing it Back

So I've noticed (or rather) it's been pointed out to me, that on my Tumblr I don't actually blog. I spam my tumblr with images, and videos but don't really say anything. To be fair, I think my tumblr is all at once, an instantaeonous visual representation of the things I find interesting at any given moment, but at the same time, superficially so.

Thus, I'm bringing this blog back.

And to celebrate, a picture haha:



I'm jealous.

He must know what he does to me...

She had found her own to fall with, her own to fall for.
