I felt the spirit of Pargalı Ibrahim Pasha possess me during my midterm exam on the Ottoman Empire. It was such a well-oiled machine.

Staring out the window as my professor lectures at length about dependent-marking languages. Sunlight scatters pleasantly on the wooden tables...

Disaster in today's history seminar as professor's question about communism devolves into "communism is a smokescreen for opportunists to seize power," "the Soviets did colonialism on Germany," and "communism divides the nation into two camps instead of us all being Americans"

There was only one sympathizer arguing against the rest of the class. I'll let you guess whom it was.

It's so nice to read that he came to love Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, since I think that his performance of BWV 846 (youtube.com/watch?v=Chtx59VP…) is one of the loveliest pieces of music I know

Anyone crying over Limoges' town hall which "survived two world wars," regardless of any assumed class character of the protests, is functionally indistinguishable from Edmund Burke.

People are so gross! They leave little mucus trails of their fixations and desires all over the place, yet demand respect.

They keep calling my apartment a "male living space." That's okay! I'll keep watching my University Challenge.

Everyone wants to be funny, cute, or whatever other bullshit instead of studious and competent. It just makes me sick.
