Coldness

It's 42 degrees out right now but the weather site says it feels like 12 degrees. How is this possible? I have a feeling I'm going to be learning a lot about weather in the months to come. I've overheard a couple of New Yorkers express the early cold that we're experiencing. My windbreaker today wasn't a huge help in guarding against the cold.

Today was my long day. I almost spoke up in class but didn't. It's like I have to spend five weeks preparing. I'm going to try to get better. I spoke with one of the maintenance men in the Graduate Faculty building. His name is Cleophus. There was a flyer on the wall about going to Brazil for six months and working with the street kids. We talked for 10 minutes about that and the rest of South America. I also went to see Sergio the Sociology student adviser. I made an appointment for tomorrow. We'll see what happens there. My roommate is talking to her boyfriend right now. "Bitch ass" and "dumb ass" have come out of her mouth so far. She can't wait till he puts a ring on her finger.

Gray's friend Danielly is visiting from Italy. One of his favorite philosophers is Hegel. Where was he three weeks ago? And I wasn't too excited to hear Hegel's name so soon after my experience. I just turned my Dostoyevsky paper in today. I'm thinking a B+ again. I started Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. I'll have to present on that next Tuesday. And I hope to have my slavery paper finished two weeks from now. I'll keep you posted. Ok, I must sleep now.
