Linear algebra is just so exciting……. Actually awake in class. (Taken with instagram)
An innovative initiative is taking place in the Philippines to bring sustainable lighting to homes in impoverished communities. Empty plastic bottles are installed in the roof, filled with water and bleach they refract sunlight. These “solar light bulbs” provide light equivalent to a 55watt light bulb.

I just do not have the drive anymore.. I don’t know.. I’ve been slacking and I really do not know how to get myself out of this whole. I dont know what else to say. sometimes I feel very very overwhelmed at everything. There does not seem to be enough minutes/hours in a day for anything.
This quarter needs to end. Probably the worst grades of my life this quarter. D=
I was talking a nap at my friend Kathy’s dorm because I had a two and a half gap in my schedule… I guess I had not had many dreams lately, well none that I remember at all. But like it says in the title, I had a dream about you. Odd, I guess.
I have not really thought about you in the longest time. Dont really remember the last time we really talked, even the last time i even saw you. Even after all this time, you still pop up in my mind. I tried not think about it all day, but the thoughts just kept reoccurring. Every class that I went to thereafter would result in the same thing..
I honestly wish things didnt happen the ways they did but I mean, what can I do? I just wish we still talked to some extent though. We aren’t even friends, I cant just ask you about how everything is going for you, how school is for you, and how LIFE is.
Living life without regrets is harder said than done, and as much as I try not to think about it, it always come back… I guess there isnt really anything I can do. Well thats all i really wanted to say…
Ivy League school janitor graduates with honors
For years, Gac Filipaj mopped floors, cleaned toilets and took out trash at Columbia University.A refugee from war-torn Yugoslavia, he eked out a living working for the Ivy League school. But Sunday was payback time: The 52-year-old janitor donned a cap and gown to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in classics.
As a Columbia employee, he didn’t have to pay for the classes he took. His favorite subject was the Roman philosopher and statesman Seneca, the janitor said during a break from his work at Lerner Hall, the student union building he cleans.
“I love Seneca’s letters because they’re written in the spirit in which I was educated in my family — not to look for fame and fortune, but to have a simple, honest, honorable life,” he said.
His graduation with honors capped a dozen years of studies, including readings in ancient Latin and Greek.
this is really nice
