I’m the creator of Chiaroscuro, where I write about an array of topics, ranging from philosophy and psychology to fashion and food. Underlying all my interests is my passion for understanding people and how they live. I’m fascinated by the beauty and connections found in everyday life, and my goal is to highlight and share them in personal and meaningful ways.

several days ago, i had a white fluffy rug on my bathroom floor. it was getting a bit dirty, so I decided to throw it into the washer because the tag said it was machine wash safe. but when I took it out, it was dripping wet, and the color darkened into a unrecognizable…beige? that’s the best way I can put it. in any case, I threw it into the dryer, hoping that in an hour, it will go back being the white fluffy rug that I bought. but of course, it was still wet when I got it out of the dryer. I then spend the next THREE days drying this thing by air, and it’s still a strange beige color.

moral of the story? don’t machine wash your rugs, i guess.

weekly dynamic

it’s only the beginning, but time seems to be moving so fast I’m already wondering if it’s near the weekend, though not in the I-Can’t-Wait sense. but thankfully it’s only tuesday afternoon. which means, I still have more than half of the week left to finish the ever daunting and never ending amount of work I have ~ Tuesday afternoon

thursdays are brutal. today was particularly so. after a failed quick in corporate finance, i had to sit through two more classes, with a visit to the student health for half an hour in between. then there was the Kristof talk, which by the way, was amazing. i enjoyed it so much I didn’t even notice that i was starving until it was almost 10. i am always so burned out at the end of thursday that even though there is usually something that still needs to be done for friday. i guess this is what i get for taking 5.5 classes? I haven’t really felt this busy since, I dunno, freshman year? the only consolation out of all this is that i do find my classes interesting, though altogether demanding. i love what I’m doing, but I don’t like the feeling of racing against time constantly. but what can I do? this is the life I chose.

I’m so tired I can barely feel anything else.

labor day weekend

i like how my meeting with the pre-law dean was canceled due to the holiday, but my class isn’t. poo.

on another note, i went to southpoint, and fell in love with a couple of beautiful things:

my two fav. scents in one!
