your essay moved me to watch first reformed, thank you.. have you seen ida by Pawel Pawlikowski? I just watched it because it apparently inspired first reformed, and I loved it. I'm intrigued now to read into transcedental style

Can't wait to watch the movie so I can read your thoughts on it. Also been thinking about Flannery O'Connor lately. A musician I like, Sufjan Stevens, made a song called A Good Man is Hard to Find ร la her short story. Read it in one of my English classes a year or so ago & still think about it. I didn't like it at the time, but the longer I carry it in my mind the fonder of it I become.

If you haven't listened to his music before, maybe you should listen to a song or two. He has a lot of allusions to Christianity in his work that quite frankly go above my head most of the time, & not like a halo, (more like a very fast bird, myself shaded under its wings for a moment).

@vashti, I love Sufjan and that album (Seven Swans, if I remember correctly?) and I'm glad you brought it up. RE: A Good Man is Hard to Find, I think O'Connor's writing has that effect - on the surface it seems ugly, brutal and arbitrary but whoever said medicine had to taste good? :)

Carrie & Lowell is beautiful. I love "All of Me Wants All of You" and I used to obsessively listen to "My Little Red Fox" from his newest album. What's your favorite song of Sufjan's?

Oh man, The Only Thing hands down, though I would say it's more sentimental & important to me rather than my favorite to listen to. I kinda go through phases & lately it's been For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti, Feel the Illinoise, & Drawn to the Blood ^^

Your most recent post is incredibly, incredibly real... It's hard to double fist both your "baseline tasks" (passing your classes, socializing) and achieve the real things you want to get out of life simultaneously. I find myself in a similar predicament... Wishing the best of luck to you

What's your favorite mathematical field? :) (Both the algebraic structure, and which area of math you like the most!)

Thanks for asking! My favourite field is combinatorics, although I have a knack for category theory. For structure I would say vector space. I know, not very original, but I'm always amazed how useful this concept is. :D

That's so cool, I would love to learn more about both! Right now I'm studying linear algebra, so I'd say that has caught my attention the most (I love your username, haha). As for a field, I like the integers modulo p, also because of how useful they are!

Me too! I struggle with my laziness a bit. Hope you get the most out of your studies. ^^ Your pun with "field" is prime. I chuckled..

I haven't watched Ida, thank you for bringing it up! I will probably watch it this weekend. And of course, thank you for reading my essay. I'm glad that it persuaded at least one person in the world to go and watch it.
