Mycology

The genus Phallus, commonly known as stinkhorns, are a group of basidiomycetes which produce a foul-scented, phallus-shaped mushroom, from whence their name is derived. They belong to the family Phallaceae in the order Phallales. The best known species (and type species) is the common stinkhorn (Phallus impudicus). (Wikipedia)

The world is too much with us

I was reading for my British literature class and I came across this sonnet by Willam Wordsworth:

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;
For this, for every thing, we are out of tune;
It moves us not. -Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.

He is basically saying he'd rather be a pagan than be a fake, materialistic person who is divorced from God, nature, and true feeling.

I love it.

I love Cspan.

My country personality

My professor wrote the results of our research papers on the board: one A, two Bs, and six Ds. Vivian asked me what I got. I told her I got an A (Which I actually did, people). The girl sitting next to her said, "I KNEW IT!"

Since then, she keeps asking me to proofread her papers before she turns them in. I glady do it, but I keep trying to tell her that I've peaked and I'm not that great at writing papers. Michael insists that I am "being modest."

I was telling Alex about this craziness yesterday and she said, "Well, Lindsey, being an overachiever is your country personality."
