* Have been reading Fitche a lot in the past three days. His essay, Concerning the Scholar's Vocation, is a masterpiece. I don't think anything better can be written on the subject.
* Finished Dostoevsky's "A Gentle Creature". Beautiful...
* Wrote a three-page paper on Italian Neorealism. I like Iranian Neorealism much better though. It's more developed and poetic.
* Have been feeling a little empty lately. I just can't wait to get out of this place. But does it really have to do with the place? Would I be feeling better in Paris or New York? Probably, but that would just be for a while. It should come from within. One has to go within oneself and find that eternal place of truth and beauty. That's where I want to be but alas that there is a long way to go and I'm still at the starting point.
