Light at the end of the laberinto

"Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone, and the only one who seeks out another."

--Octavio Paz, El laberinto de la soledad

Comprehensive exams tomorrow. I just want to finish and then maybe get like a piece of paper that says I did that... although at this point I'd settle for some kind of wristband.

In the past month I have read something like 13 books besides homework. I have probably added three times as many to my list of stuff I want to read-- I love my field of study.
