Stuff I like.

I was just now suddenly overwhelmed with the desire to share with you the things that have made my life more joyous lately:

I am currently drinking Peach Ginger Black Tea with a spoonful of sugar; it is delicious. Coffee is so rich and overwhelming after awhile and I feel that it makes me either too hyper or angsty as I come off the caffeine high. Black tea is a good alternative.

Today I sat on Landis Green for an hour, enjoying tea and a piece of Lindt chocolate in the breezy, sunny, 60 degree weather. I overheard interesting conversations and managed to get all of my Hebrew homework done. I felt very accomplished and very refreshed.

I bought Yael Naim's "New Soul" CD about a week and half ago and its all I've listened to since. She sings in Hebrew, French, and English and her musical style is very soothing, calm, and understated. Also, I understand a bit of what she says in Hebrew, which makes me terribly excited.

We're reading Feuerbach in my Critics of Religion class. Man, that guy is intriguing. Everything he critiques about nineteenth century protestant Christianity forces me to really think and reconsider what I believe. There are definitely some loopholes in his arguments, but I've really enjoyed analyzing his concepts within his book, "Essence of Christianity."

I love naps, starting this week. Falling asleep midmorning when the sun gently peaks through dorm windows and drifting off for a few minutes is wonderfully refreshing.

My yellow keds literally go with everything.

Homework efficiency relieves a lot of stress. I am ahead of schedule this week, getting in the groove of things.
