"Nothing is certain but death and taxes"
It is an exceedingly pleasant and sunny spring day outside, but April has definitely demonstrated the truth of those words.
36 days left.
I wonder if I could have done my senior thesis differently. And I think not. I tried my best, I know I did. But perhaps it was the effort that was wrong. I think eventually I will learn. I am trying.

Days left: 52
Slowly the countdown continues. I want to make a list of things I would like to do before graduation. I am going to miss Yale.
A few words of wisdom from a wise man. No matter what your politics, you can respect these fundamental truths. Originally these were numbered, but it tends to have the effect of ordering or ranking by importance, even if it's an organizational thing and not intended to do so. So I have removed the numbers.
"The Wisdom of the Heart"
from the 14th Dalai Lama
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate (1989)
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
Sleep is the best meditation.
Spend some time alone every day.
We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.
The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis.
