"But must we really see Chicago in order to be educated?" asked Mr. Erskine plaintively. "I don't feel up to the journey."

"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful. It has been said that the great events of the world take place in the brain. It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also."

"I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvellous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it. When I leave town now I never tell my people where I am going. If I did, I would lose all my pleasure. It is a silly habit, I dare say, but somehow it seems to bring a great deal of romance into one's life. I suppose you think me awfully foolish about it?'"

Also predicting 5-10 foot snow drifts along the coast.

24+ inches of snow expected by this time tomorrow.

"Librarians laugh in the face of haystacks."

Basis is hard.

Better New Year's Resolution

New Year Resolution
This should be the year you devote yourself to maddening and glorious details. I encourage you to dive into the mysteries of intricacy as you master the thousand and one practical matters that will ultimately make your dreams come true. You might want to memorize the following quote from philosopher William James: "I am done with great things and big plans, great institutions and big success. I am for those tiny, invisible, loving human forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillaries."

Fashion resolutions:
"Goodbye to basics! We're going to dress even wackier in 2005, and you should too! Who needs another black skirt? Take it from us: The funnier you dress, the more fun you'll have."

Grades in.
Did not fail.
Thank you all for your support and understanding.

I am in need of

I am in need of some GLUE! Does anyone have some glue?

Will I be locked out of my student account after the 47th attempt of the day?

What is the number of times per hour a reasonable person (pushed almost to the edge of sanity) will check to see if grades have been posted????

Does NOONE use turn signals

Does NOONE use turn signals anymore?

It is time to google.

Oh - and before I head off to sleep, I thought I should mention "I love dry rub".

"I'm sleeping for a few hours right now, so you can leave a message or if you really need me, you can shout into the machine, and I'll wake up."

Raisins are UNNATURAL and almost as scary as clowns. I don't care what anyone else says - especially those of you in the North who do not agree with my assessment of this so called "fruit".
