Over the past two weeks, Everita Silina has been (intensively) teaching me about genocide. Everita Silina, a visiting professor from the New School, is one of the coolest people I’ve ever met. Over the next few days I will be processing everything I have learned. The facts are disturbing, but before I jump into exploring…

Plane down in the Hudson River

Today in my Genocide class, I open a new Internet window to the drudge report.

Love them anyway…

ANYWAY People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Love them anyway! If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway! If you are successful, you will win false friends and enemies. Succeed anyway! The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway! Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable….

Leaving for College

I leave for college tomorrow. How strange is that? I’m still getting used to the idea, but I don’t think it will hit me until I’m there and moved in. I will be a student at Gallatin, NYU’s small school of individualized study. Formerly known as the University Without Walls. Gallatin enrolls less than 1200…
