Things are not going well in the life of Mary. First of all, I'm going to run out of health insurance on the 12th. Great. So, finagling a way to make sure I have enough medicine to last a while. I'll get school insurance in the spring, but it's probably not that great. Speaking of medicine, it has caused me to gain 20lbs. very quickly. I think I've plateaued, but I'm not positive. Anyway, a lot of my clothes weren't fitting, but on Thursday, I was late for class because I couldn't find a single pair of jeans that fit, except my brother's. Fantastic. So, I had to go out and buy new pants. Today, I cleaned up my room and put all the clothes that don't fit anymore in a RubberMaid bin, one of those really big ones. It's full.

Plus, it's exam week. I think no further explanation is needed.

I visited a friend this past weekend. Got away from, school. It was good. But now I am back, and everything is not good again.

I'm just really stressed and anxious.

I wish I had a puppy or a kitty. Or at least a fish.

Anyway, that is all. I'm going to take a nap.


P.S: Seeing as I'm needing a new wardrobe, y'all could click that little paypal button! Yayyy. That would be awesome. I already had one donation! Thank you!

I'm writing an article for Catholic World Report magazine on the three Benedictine colleges profiled in the recently released Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College. While I have already been in contact with administrators and faculty members, I also wanted to seek student perspectives for the article, and thus seek your comments on the following questions:

1. In your judgment, how do the academic atmosphere and student life at Belmont Abbey College differ from that of other colleges and universities -- and particularly Catholic colleges and universities -- with which you may be familiar?

2. Has your time at the college made you more appreciative of the teachings of the Church, and if so, how?

3. How has your time at the college affected your spiritual life?

You (and any other Belmont Abbey College students) are welcome to offer comments for the article and send them to ziegleriti at yahoo.com.

I regret deeply that I am under a tight deadline and request that any comments be sent by Sunday, December 23.

With much gratitude for any assistance you may be able to offer.

Respectfully yours,

Jeff Ziegler

Gosh, sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing anymore. Sometimes I feel like I'm falling apart. Sometimes, I wonder if I did the right thing. I think I did. I'm sure I did. Right?

Dear Frog-- What can I say but: I told you so? I don't mean to sound so harsh, but from the beginning, I figured I was destined to "fuck up," as I so put it. And, well, I fucked it all up. I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you, but so it goes. It is in my nature. Did I not tell you this before? Perhaps, someday there will be one whom I will not sting. I will change my very nature to help this person cross the stream. Oh, but dear Frog, I feel now that I cannot say that I wish I hadn't messed everything up. As wonderful as our times were together, I feel I would have stung you eventually. As you nurse your wounds, know I will always remember you. I hope that one day you can forgive me. Scorpion _______________________________________ The Scorpion and the Frog A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Becaus...

LONGAVILLE: You swore to that Berowne, and the rest! BEROWNE. By yea and nay, sir, then I swore in jest. What is the end of study, let me know. KING. Why, that to know which else we should not know. BEROWNE. Things hid and barr'd, you mean, from common sense? KING. Ay, that is study's god-like recompense. BEROWNE. As thus: to study where I well may dine, When I to feast expressly am forbid; Or study where to meet some mistress fine, When mistresses from common sense are hid; KING. These be the stops that hinder study quite, And train our intellects to vain delight. BEROWNE. Why, all delights are vain; KING: I've seen for days that you've got The ways that must be checked In you I never can detect The slightest signs of intellect Your mad on dances, think of the chances you neglect You never seem inclined to use your mind You're just a fella who Has got his brains in his dancing shoes Take a lesson from me BEROWNE: I'd rather Charleston LONGAVILLE and DUMAINE: Do...
