Dear Blogosphere,

Here are some of the awesome fabrics I found at the Crate and Barrel Outlet in Berkeley! Aren't they fab?

Oh, and I noticed someone 'meh'ed the post about not having a computer for the first half of finals week. Haha, that's cool.

Tolerance, Altruism, Compassion, Empathy

Many people are posting definitions of words... well, one word... today. So I thought I'd share a couple of definitions of words that are particularly salient to me:

TOLERANCE: the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.

ALTRUISM: the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.

COMPASSION: sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.

EMPATHY: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.


Those are some beautiful words.
