Just checked out Marx's Capital Vol. I, along with two books on the Soviet Union. Also checked out a book on orbital mechanics and have an intro to spaceflight textbook coming from the state library. Feeling hella college today.

But sometimes it wasn’t all darkness. Sometimes it was Jazz Trek and playful hookups and smiles. We helped each other with calculus and heartbreak and smoked pot. We watched Little Miss Sunshine on a Wednesday night. The moon guarded us, smiling down, shaking her head gently, remembering when she was young and reckless.

And with such envy did the stars watch us, burning a million million miles away; they knew they could never live the life we did daily.

Young and free.

Wild and lovely.

"When you feel down or depersonalized or fragmented, like you're spinning your gears and there's a part missing, just take time to do something routine. Figure out what you want to do that puts that piece back. Read all the books in your favorite author's repertoire, in order. Listen to all the albums from your favorite artist. Watch every episode of...I don't know...Breaking Bad or something. Just do something that makes you feel whole again."

--Dean of Campus Life at Willamette University, David Douglass

Unwittingly taking the little information that I gave him about myself in our meeting today, simultaneously giving me perfect self-help advice, and immediately breaking my heart. I sat there silently for a few seconds and could only respond with, "Thank you."
