Virgo: Two Indian mountain climbers recently got married in a place that symbolized the fearlessness they want to bring to their alliance. Along with the officiating priest, they hung 2,000 feet in the air, suspended from ropes between two mountains. I suggest you regard them as your metaphorical role models in the coming weeks, Virgo. You'll be getting unprecedented opportunities to enjoy adventures that involve collaboration, blending, and unification. Take imaginative advantage of those opportunities.

I'm taking a few hours to work on my senior sem before I head off to meet with Michael Dirda regarding my coursework so far. I feel placid, calm. 10 pages in 9 days. I can do this. I can most certainly do this.

Also, I'd like to share the best breakfast ever:

Take a bowl and mix together two finely sliced strawberries, 1 1/2 tbsp of cream cheese, and 3/4 tbsp of soft brown sugar. Toast a bagel and then rip it to chunks. Dip them in the mixture. Heavenly. And grapefruit... have I mentioned my love of grapefruit?

Off to shower and be clean before I settle down to work. I want to smell like springtime.

In closing, I leave you with a poem-- a part of Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet:
