I've never had such a conviction of my originalsinness and corruption as I've had now, when I've finally realized that I really am just dripping germs and dangerous stuff and getting it on every person I meet. It's kind of convicting.

I'm also seeing about integrating MSU. --or at least MSU christians.
I'm about to go buy note books. Anybody want to come?
I'm excited about this semester, even though I was really sad when I realized that I wouldn't get to take any more classes later.
Remind me to apply for graduation.

I had a great time in St. Louis, visiting old friends and getting to hang out with Jane and the Barlows (if I wasn't such a lazy person, I'd make a link).

it's one of those autumnal rainy days that's just kinda nasty but is also on the flipside, really fun to walk in (especially if you're having a great conversation with someone nice) or sleep in. I might do both.

Thief
That day, fairy tales began with, “once

people, on some bright mornings, simply flew.

His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Jupitor Hammon’s poems seem to deal only with religion, but a closer examination of his work reveals that he too would like to be free. But religion and slavery are inextricably meshed. For some, religion was their only means to endure the horrors of slavery.

maybe that's what i have such a hard time telling myself that i need to study.
it also helps that my teacher and i think the same way and his tests are just really easy for me. but still.
i should have studied more. but maybe not, because emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16037379112299455434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702141.post-1077601323640230502004-02-23T21:42:00.000-08:002004-02-23T21:44:47.200-08:00color me disgusted:

I have five this semester.
two on MWF, three on TTH.
My english classes are on mondays...
I have African american lit first. This class would be pretty interesting if my teacher didn't talk the whole time. but he never asks us questions or anything. he just stands up there and talks. he was one of my favorite teachers the last time i had him, but this timeemilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16037379112299455434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702141.post-1075410823857919442004-01-29T13:13:00.000-08:002004-01-29T13:15:54.436-08:00"At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed.

Here is the poem:
What makes me smile my
happy "bite my lip" smile and
gaze distractedly into space
what makes me feel plannings of
happyness in the wrinkle of my eyes and
the fat apples of my cheerful cheeks
what makes me sigh happy sighy
intakes of breath of
patient impatience?

the horizon seems ever distant yet closing in
with no relief
while blue sky, green tree and red old main bricks
can bring a smile it doesn't stay and my droopy
mouth makes me a stranger
tasks seem meaningless, papers useless,
reports a different language, blue under my
eyes instead of in them.emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16037379112299455434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702141.post-1063719310883347802003-09-16T06:33:00.000-07:002003-09-16T06:35:10.810-07:00we have our first flag football game today--Tri Rho against RUF! (I'm on the PPP team...i'm excited...i love me some flag football. it'll be sad to not be wearing an orange jersey, but this will eliminate a lot of griping if we leave the RUF teams to be social and make our own competitive team. so, go Rhos!

yeah, we dogs didn't acquit ourselves too well against the ducks. they scored 28 points IN THE FIRST QUARTER! we came back and the final score was 42-34, which isn't that terrible, but that first quarter...man! We need to work on being faster, on our offensive line, and on our tackling.

is it to minister to its members or is it to change the world through its members?
is that in the WCF somewhere?
it's time to get ready for church or i'd post more about that later--my church in jackson is thinking about moving-seriously considering it but they have made a serious commitment to the somewhat needy neighborhood that they are in...it kinda upsets me.emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16037379112299455434noreply@blogger.com
