- Went with my class of five to my Hindi teacher's house, allegedly for a make up class, but actually to eat her incredible cooking, play with her beautiful baby girl and see the inside of an Indian house. Mission accomplished, pictures en route.
- I finally finished and highly recommend Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. Now reading Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter (my heavy read) and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon (my light read and the reason I'm being so matter-of-fact in this post - I just set it down moments ago).
- I've started to learn guitar with my friend Tyler's assistance. I'm going to teach him and some other friends a bit of capoeira in exchange.
- Yoga, frequent biking and going to the gym has me in a constant endorphin-soaked state, doing wonders for my productivity, mood and general outlook.
- I've made a conscious decision to become proficient in Hindi, after which I will return to French and do the same. This will probably take a few years but is infinitely more likely to happen with those goals in mind.
- I sat in on a fascinating lecture in the Philosophy department (where a three-day seminar is going on) concerning the validity of testimony as a legitimate source of knowledge. I'll elaborate later because I think it's well worth sharing.
I hope you all enjoyed that as much as I did. Oh, the joys of novel formatting.
