Day 18 6-25-10

So love is out...like pollen covering BYU-Idaho's campus. Since everyone is so romantically inclined, this photo reminds me of one of Lord Byron's poems (who was just as hooked on romance and fickle with love as so many of these single students are)...the fact that they're sleeping and no more "a-roving" warms the cockles of my corny, pun-loving heart.

So we'll go no more a-roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart still be as loving,
And the moon still be as bright.

For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul outwears the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,
And love itself have rest.

Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,
Yet we'll go no more a-roving
By the light of the moon

Oh I wonder...

Upon Julia's Clothes

Whenas in silks my Julia goes
Then, then, methinks, how sweetly flows
The liquefaction of her clothes.

Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
That brave vibration each way free,

Oh, how that glittering taketh me!

-Robert Herrick (1591-1674) 

 

Oh I  wonder...

Day 16

I visit taught this girl last year, I think only once. I couldn't exactly remember her name so I didn't call out to get her attention. I've always been eager to give, but so often I don't.

Oh I wonder...

Day 15 Do not go gently into that good night/ Rage, rage against the dying of the light

Pandy found out today before she came to model for my portraiture project that her grandmother has cancer. There are so many things that have brought her down this semester.

Oh I wonder...

Day 13 Though I see through the glass darkly...

My roommate Caro has been having some troubles in her life lately. I've heard what's going on between her and her friend, they don't understand each other.

Oh I wonder...

Day 11

We won are Softball game 7-6. In the last inning we were down by four with two outs, but we came back to win it in the end!!

Oh I wonder...

I'm so sorry Bradley!!

Yesterday I left Bradley at the photo lab for about 2 hours. I got home from Institute and he wasn't in my bag--imagine my worries. If he wasn't in my bag, the only alternative was that he had some how been taken from my bag--IE: stolen. However he was in the lab, and as an apology I took a picture just of him...I'm sorry Bradley , please forgive me :(

Oh I wonder...

Today I Woke Up Worried About A Photo Assignment

Most of my day went to this one assignment I did not look forward to. I spent hours working on it, but in the end I was dissatisfied with it and decided to start fresh with a whole new approach. Try 2 went much better, and I really enjoyed working on it--it's going to turn out well. There's a pattern to everything in life, even though it seems foreign ...best stated by Dylan Thomas "out of confusion, as the way is, and the wonder that man knows out of the chaos will come bliss, that then is loveliness" ...I love that poem.

Oh I wonder...

I had to...

Today for FHE we played Battle of the Sexes. We had various events doing gender specific activities with boys vs girls :tie-a-tie relay, nail polish race, shaving balloons, and that egg in a spoon race only the guy had to wear heels we bought at the DI and the girl had to wear the guys shoes. We lost that game, but the ladies won overall :).

Oh I wonder...

Saturday...I moved...the apt office was closed...I was unable to get on the internet and post

Saturday morning Pandy and I went to JB's for a roommate breakfast...I'll miss her

 Oh I wonder...

Oncoming Traffic

Today the fire alarm went off at ballroom dancing (that seems to be happening a lot this year...fire alarms). Since my phone isn't working I went to go see my friend Sam at his apartment just by the Kirkham. I saw this girl on the way back...kind of like me right now, about to go out in the street of life. Alone with cars coming in both directions--not in a depressing way, after all there are crosswalks and headlights (both figuratively and literally) and though it may still be dangerous, it's worth the endeavor with full confidence.

Oh I wonder...

Rising to the occasion

I have never played on a softball team, but somehow I ended up on a ward intramural team. I hit the ball when I was at bat...I rarely have felt more accomplished.

Oh I wonder...

Ya'll

This is my twin, not really, but it feels like he is sometimes. I ran into him today at the Spori while getting a band-aid from the art office, then we went to the gallery downstairs to look at the quilts on display. He really liked this one resembling a fingerprint and just lounged there looking at it while I sat opposite of him taking pictures.

Oh I wonder...

Storm's coming in

Oftentimes in Rexburg it will seem like a huge storm is eminent, but then it simply passes. Clouds pile up on the horizon, winds gust, and birds fly everywhere, but then only a few drops fall and the system moves on.

Oh I wonder...
