A happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin to one and all!
I’m still feeling slightly frazzled from final projects (one concerning a game-theoretic analysis of Greece and the EU, one concerning Brown University’s Asian student body, one concerning school impact on Homewood civic engagement and the last concerning the developments of Chinatowns on the East and West Coasts), and need to begin preparing soon for exams, as well as getting a visa for another China visit. To me have been now imparted several skills, including how to make maps with ArcGIS 10 and how to design a research proposal; as well as several old skills being further honed, such as how to scramble and slam out multiple papers during the last couple of weeks of term. And I am rereading Utopia. Such is graduate school; wouldn’t really have it any other way.
Most Holy Theotokos
It is very meet and right to call thee blessed,
Who didst bring forth God,
Ever blessed and most pure
And the Mother of our God.
More honourable than the cherubim,
And more glorious than the seraphim,
Who without spot didst bear the Eternal Word,
Thee, very Mother of God,
We laud and magnify!

Holy Apostle Matthew
Pray to God for me, O Holy Apostle Matthew, well-pleasing to God, for I eagerly betake myself to thee, who art the speedy helper and intercessor for my soul.

Ss. Cyril and Methodius, our fathers among the Saints
