yeah, stormwatching is a whole lot of fun. crew is actually one of the maybe 3 intercollegiate sports St. John's participates in, the other two being fencing and croquet. so in spring i'll be competing against other colleges. speaking of weather, the river we go out to row was completely covered in fog this morning. nothing but haze all around, we were completely blind. we'd be rowing and trees would pop out of nowhere 20 ft away, or a bridge would pop, very cool. the thing is you can't even tell what direction your going. the joke was that we all had died and were rowing to Valhalla, and then of course we all start singing the "immigrant song" by Zeppelin. all the while we had no idea where we were. ;D ;D
i recently saw the russian movie, Andrei Rublev, which is about this Andrei Rublev, who is a saint in the greek-orthodox church and was reknown for his paintings of icons. the movie was 3 and half hours long, but it really gave me a different view of icons. now i've always been raised to think that any idols that were placed before before God and worshiped as an idol were bad, going back to the 2nd commandment. but the question is what do these icons represent? the devotion that stems from these icons is very admirable. i went with a freind last week, didn't go this week. they have a study group on church history and church fathers which i really want to go to now, maybe next week. hopefully.
Long weekend this weekend, get to go home, whopeee, kinda homesick and i do miss my mothers cooking, there is no comparison.. ;D

its only music, only jukebox music'
i am slowly going insane, slowly but surely approaching the end. its been an exceptionally hard week and last night was even harder. i'm really confused or maybe i'm just selfish, or just scared.
Hello you, hello me, hello people we used to be Isn't it strange, we never changed We've been through it all yet we're still the same And I know it's a miracle, we still go, and for all we know We might still have a way to go
Hello me, hello you, you say you want out Want to start anew, throw in your hand Break up the band, start a new life, be a new man But for all we know, we might still have a way to go Before you go, there's something you ought to know
There's a guy in my block, he lives for rock He plays records day and night And when he feels down, he puts some rock 'n' roll on And it makes him feel alright And when he feels the world is closing in He turns his stereo way up high
He just spends his life, living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy He just spends his life, living on the edge of reality
Look at me, look at you You say you've got nothing left to prove The King is dead, rock is done You might be through but I've just begun I don't know, I feel free and I won't let go Before you go, there's something you ought to know
Dan is a fan and he lives for our music It's the only thing that gets him by He's watched us grow and he's seen all our shows He's seen us low and he's seen us high Oh, but you and me keep thinking That the world's just passing us by
Dont' want to spend my life, living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy Don't want to spend my life living on the edge of reality
i'm tired of the fantasy, we're going to make this work, because we can. this is a bridge that must be crossed, and i'll wait for you.

ha, greek was a whole lotta fun today, i mean other then doing greek participles, which are a lot of fun , i learned that a group of owls is called a parliament. thats pretty exciting. oh yeah last did midnight melee... incredible experience, everybody hates me cause i use the shield but their just scared of me getting close and dealing out the damage from close. haha so much fun, i died so many times. its such a great concept, people wacking each other with giant foam stcks that happen to look like two-handed swords, battle-axes, longswords... Can't wait to go home, really excited about that, its been a long month and a half. hopefully saturday i can go with liz to Baltimore art exhibit and then spend the day with her in DC on tuesday. still kind of confused concerning this matter but i think things are looking up, maybe. i hope so.

started snowing last night, walking through town at 2 o'clock, staying up till 4 just talking and seeing the ground just covered in white snow. the way the street lamps iluminated the streets with the snow swirling around it, surrounded by the night. just really pretty. 'Watching the snow swirl around your hair and around your feet And I'm thinking to myself she surely looks a treat' snowball fight in the dishpit while listening to the beatles... snowball fight outside. seems like it has gotten very christmasy the last 2 days, everyone is happy and in a good mood waiting for break. playing plenty of risk and just having a good time. right now everything is good. except for the two papers due monday anyways off to dinner. *i seem to say 'just' a lot. oh yeah interesting fact of the day, male deers are called harts. 'as the deer panteth for water'; 'as the hart panteth for water' works out pretty good doesn't it?

haven't been here for a while, don't know exactly why i came.. beautiful day today tho, they shouldn't have windows in the classrooms on days like these. makes me want to play soccer and not be stuck in a classroom. so what to do? relationship came and went, so of course i'm listening to 'Blood on Tracks' over and over again. freshmen essay should be a lot of fun, and crew season starts soon, maybe those things will "help me get my feet back on the ground." anyways, Pascal awaits.
