It's strangely cold outside. Zooey D. was right.

Hi.

I can't wait to start reading you.

I want to finish reading Kafka so I can move on to Skinner. Time management skills, don't fail me now. Seriously, don't.

I read the final chapter of Henry David Thoreau's WALDEN last month through an e-book download. Very interesting insights from Mr. Thoreau. Unfortunately, the ebook only featured the final chapter. I've been looking for a copy of WALDEN but I can't find any, what I did find was B.F. Skinner's WALDEN TWO. I shall read it after finishing my academic onuses (oh).

Here are some of my favorite lines from WALDEN's final chapter:

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest.


The fault finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is.


Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.


Superfluous wealth can buy superfluities only. Money is not required to buy one necessary of the soul.


It is not worth the while to go round the world to count the cats in Zanzibar.

That blue alarm clock was a gift from my dad, and behind it is a bottle of Cocoa Butter lotion. Strange world we live in.

Yes, that notebook is too nice.

Today's agenda: Study Japanese. Finish reading assignments. Do reports.

Today I'm reading about the different notions of development. The title of today's text is "The Transformation of Rural Society in the Third World." 

Today shall be a very interesting Wednesday.

Bye.
