This week was a crescendo. The week began pleasantly enough; the fog on Monday was nice and gave an ambience of soothing calm to the campus. Here are some pictures:
The weekend was what was brutal for me. Saturday ended with some fun, in that the power went out and that led to the gathering of some six of us in my room for conversation while the hall went mad in a nocturnal flashlight frenzy. However, this was also an impediment for the colossal amount of work (mostly CC reading -- The Long Loneliness by Dorothy Day) which I knew awaited me, and which consequently occupied my day on Sunday. After lunch, the only breaks I allowed for myself from my intensive work time in the library were for supper and the Calmus Ensemble, an a capella vocal quintet from Leipzig, Germany, which was AMAZING. I bought a CD and had the ensemble members sign it. Then it was back to the grind, and I ended up leaving for my room when the library closed at 1:00 and continuing my work in my dorm room. I only slept 3 and a half hours, and so I enter the last week of school before spring break...
