This is a wild day. Now the wind is blowing quite strongly. This morning I woke up to a very quiet campus. I walked outside to go to breakfast and found my dry, redbrick campus turned into a winter wonderland, glittering and glistening with a thick coating of ice. I took pictures. I got a shot of a lamppost next to a bunch of crystallized tree branches and was reminded of Narnia. Later in the morning, moments before I decided to walk into the fishbowl (a glass room used as a study hall), a massive tree was uprooted between my dorm and the other building. The entire tree simply fell over, split off all its major branches, and crashed into the Francis Scott Key Auditorium. But all’s well. No one was injured.
All classes were cancelled today. A bunch of seniors told me they’ve never had a day of school cancelled here before now. Weird. Anyway, praise God for the blessings He has given me and the extra time I have to relax and read and write to get ahead of my schoolwork instead of falling behind.
I assume other parts of the Northeast have been impacted by this storm, but our Internet was down all of last night and this morning. Only now am I able to blog and receive emails again, but it’s very slow.
I’ve been doing a good bit of writing. Later tonight I’ll post my Freshman Essay proposal and some of documents I’ve written recently for mathematics. It’s difficult for me to judge how interesting the latter will be for those of you who haven’t been actively reading Euclid’s Elements or Aristotle’s Categories or Nicomachus’s Introduction to Arithmetic. I don’t write that to flaunt or be showy about the old crusty books I read, but simply to advertise the original texts, whence my investigations arise, if anyone is provoked to do their own reading.
Hopefully, I’ll post again tonight after I finish my reading for tomorrow.
