K squared gives us a visit

Today was the first day my alarm did its job. I set it up for 6:30 A.M., and it woke me up just then, I was so elated! Anyways, we all got up and met in the lobby to head for breakfast at around 7:30. The food is now starting to get old; I can really appreciate my home-cooked meal now. I’m tired of the simplicity, and limited daily selection of food in which the Appel dining hall has to offer. Truthfully the eggs are too fluffy and not enough flavor, the potatoes are fine, but every day is ridiculous, French toast and pancakes are dry and might as well not be food for flavor, but food to just fill hunger. Grapes were also good, but having them every day as well, leaves you with a bitter taste in your mouth, and even though I love sweets, I can’t continue to eat them every day. The hotelies always have to finish breakfast quickly because they have to be in class earlier than us Kramnick kids. As the days go on, it seems that the Hotel students and we Kramnick kids see less and less of each other. Hopefully we will be rekindled with our fellow ILC members soon.
We finished breakfast, and then headed to the lecture hall. Class begun at 9 A.M., and Prof. Kramnick began his lecture pertaining to the New Testament. He discussed the vertical and horizontal aspects of peoples love. The horizontal love refers to people showing love to people more, and this horizontal love occurs primarily in the New Testament. Vertical love refers to man’s love for God, and this reference is from the Old Testament primarily. In our study groups we came to the conclusion that horizontal love is a derivative (comes from) from vertical love, because in order to love others, you yourself have to experience the greatest love of all from God, the you can share love with other people. Also in the lecture Prof. Kramnick discussed that because of all the “contradictions” in the Bible, is why Christianity is so popular, and has been so successful. We had a surprising visit from our chaperone Mrs. Kaplan (Go team Kaplan), and our school board president, Mrs. Kronenberg listened in on the lecture and talked with us after the class for a little. They too joined us for our lecture from Judge Judy and left a little prematurely, but we were still glad to have their company.
After the intriguing lecture we all broke up into our separate groups, where the basic discussion was centralized around is it possible to truly love everyone, and at what point should you be the sacrifice for others. The discussion went really well because everyone has different opinions, and nearly everyone gives input and feedback. I like our T.A., he has great reasoning skills, always has insight, and though he’s not the most comical man, he’s brings life to the class.
After out sectional groups we went to lunch at Trillium. I’m so glad we got to have real food, and a change from the somber feeling of Appel. I had Chinese food that was extremely delicious. Us Kramnick kids all ate together, because the Hotel students had to leave and meet with their group members. We left lunch, and we went back to the lecture hall, to hear a lecture on what goes on in contemporary justice, for Judge Judy. Not the Judge Judy most of you are probably familiar with, but the Judge Judy that’s the judge for Ithaca.
When the lecture was over we got back to our dorms, and commenced to ponder how great our experience can be, as long as we press to the mark, and work harder each day!
