Caleb Brewster's signature, an evolution 1778-1780

We start off reasonable and professional, in a letter to Benjamin Tallmadge dated October 22, 1778:

Caleb Brewster Lieut

That's good, you know, pretty solid. Clean, neat, mindful of his military position. Then a bizarre and exciting change of pace in a letter to Benjamin Tallmadge dated February 26, 1779.

I am with respect yours [etc.?] Caleb Brewster

Source, Library of Congress, https://www.loc.gov/resource/mgw4.056_0281_0284/?sp=4&st=image

Incredible. Diva. I'm amazed he found stable ground to write this on and enough time to compose two pages. The "B" should be framed and taught in calligraphy classes. In the same letter, he writes a "g" so effusive it bisects New York in the row below to land on "at".

Was it too much? Did he fly too close to the sun? Has he since grown more secure in his correspondence or is this him at his most confident? Either way, 18 months later we see a more subdued return to form in a letter to Benjamin Tallmadge dated August 18, 1780.

With respect your friend and Humble Servant Caleb Brewster

Source: Library of Congress, https://www.loc.gov/resource/mgw4.069_0709_0710/?sp=1

No flourishes, short lines-- in fact, a total lack of swoops throughout the entire letter. But he's become a friend! Aww. I wish I knew what Maj. Tallmadge had written in return.

Other things I have found out while doodling on the themes of Chapter 18 of Wind and Water and researching tangents,

Caleb and Ben owned land together (?!?!), purchased August 5, 1784: "The Middle of the Island Farm" in Brookhaven Twp. and four lots in Nocamack. (The source given, that I can't access, is this: Page 251 Loyalism in New York during the American Revolution by Alex C Flick PhD. Columbia Univ. Press, London 1901. Accessed Meehan-411 16 Jan 2020.)

Caleb's father's name was Benjamin, likely the reason his son was also called Benjamin (another son was named Daniel, for his grandfather). His first daughter was named after his mother, Sarah.

He had three half-sisters from his father's first or second wife? (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Brewster-1687) Except the birth dates make it seem like Caleb was somehow born between the last two? Someone messed up the geneology there, or we're talking bigamy.

Hi! You seem to be the JTTW expert and I was wondering if you could clarify something for me; If I understand correctly, Wujing ate 9 of Tripitaka’s previous incarnations, right? If so, shouldn’t he be super-powered by all of them? After all, the reason the demons want to eat him is because Tripitaka cultivated power in his previous lives, which will give them immortality and power. Didn’t that apply to the previous monks?

The 13th-century oral JTTW openly states that Sha Wujing's antecedent has continually eaten Tripitaka:

Deep Sand said: "I am the one who devoured you twice before, monk. Slung from my neck are all your dry bones!" (Wivell, 1994, p. 1190). 深沙云：「項下是和尚兩度被我吃你，袋得枯骨在此。」

And since Tripitaka is the tenth reincarnation of Master Golden Cicada and Sha claims to have eaten nine previous scripture pilgrims (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 1, p. 210), it's reasonable to assume that Sha has eaten the monk's past nine lives. However, to my knowledge, JTTW never openly states that the Buddhist master had made previous attempts in his past lives to travel to India, or that he had been eaten by Sha in the process (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).

It's important to remember that Tripitaka, better known as Xuanzang (玄奘, 602-664), is not the only Chinese monk who has traveled to India for scriptures. Another famous scripture pilgrim is Faxian (法顯, 337- c. 422). So, the novel could be referring to other such monks.

But if we were to view the aforementioned nine monks as Tripitaka's past lives, I think the reason why Sha Wujing isn't empowered by their flesh is because their compounding life-long austerities only results in the tenth and final reincarnation being holy.

Fun Fact: The "Deep Sands" demon mentioned above is actually a vilified version of a spirit said to have originally helped Xuanzang in his 7th-century biography. This figure came to be worshiped as Jinja Taishō (深沙大將, “General of the Deep Sands”), a minor protector deity in Japanese Buddhism. One 11th-century Japanese source claims that the General manifested before Faxian in a wrathful form. Most importantly, the skulls around his neck are said to be those of demons, not monks (Dudbridge, 1970, p. 20)!

what do u think about mark lee's feeling after getting caught in columbia univ? is he really meet his gf?

cards: the high priestess, ace of cups rx, king of swords

this was actually a lot juicier than what I had expected… lmao. so- I just answered another question regarding this, here: X my initial impression remains the same BUT… I wouldn't put it past his "gf" or romantic interest being somehow related to the University or being friends with the people he was there hanging out with. I kinda feel like he wanted her to see him there, to get a reaction out of her (good or bad, I can't tell). also, in his mind, Mark had a reason to be there beyond personal matters, so he doesn't really care if people saw him.

(Disclaimer: All is alleged and for entertainment purposes only. Based on current energies.)

Im sorrrry. I thought you read about mark lee getting caught on NY. So, fans said that his trip to NY isn't write on his schedule. That is why many fans surprised met mark on arrival gate while waiting for Jeno from Milan. Then, a video from twitter showed that a fan met mark in columbia univ. Kind of suspicious. He claimed that he met teacher hyung there. But others believe that his gf is in columbiaa

If this wasn’t in his schedule, he didn’t want people to know about this

If he met his with girlfriend it’s none of our business. If he went there for work but it wasn’t in his public schedule it’s none of our business. Even if he went there just to party like an animal and get drunk it’s none of our business.

It would be suspicious if your partner went to another city for a few days without telling you. Not a kpop idol.

I won’t do a reading on something that a celebrity would like to hide from the public.

How would you (I don’t mean just you, I mean all kpop stans) feel if you were to walk in his shoes? If I were him I’d be frustrated and helpless that I can’t even go and see someone in peace. And if I saw a tarot reading about I’d see red.

I don’t ask questions that I wouldn’t want to answer

Today, The Lawfare Project — together with co-counsel Eiseman Levine Lehrhaupt and Kakoyiannis, P.C. — filed a lawsuit against Columbia University on behalf of Mackenzie Forrest, a Jewish student who was forced out of an academic program after she requested religious and safety accommodations.

Mackenzie began attending Columbia's School of Social Work (CSSW) in August 2022 and was subsequently admitted into the specialized Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Program (DBT). Mackenzie’s initial antisemitic encounter with faculty occurred when her request for accommodation for her Sabbath observance was met with resistance, and only begrudgingly provided after significant pressure was placed on her to forgo it. Then, in the wake of Hamas’s October 2023 attack on Israel, the campus devolved into a cauldron of antisemitism. Mackenzie, feeling physically unsafe, reported the hostile environment to faculty and requested permission to take classes via Zoom. Although that accommodation is routinely granted to other students, it was not extended to her. Soon after Mackenzie’s request, faculty members began a campaign to force her out of the program. After fabricating pretexts to justify failing her, they were ultimately successful.

“The vitriolic and antisemitic environment at Columbia to which Jewish students like Mackenzie have been subjected is utterly indefensible,” said Ziporah Reich, Director of Litigation at LP. “Mackenzie’s right to an education in an environment where she feels physically safe is a fundamental, non-negotiable right protected by law. The university's refusal to provide Mackenzie with a basic accommodation to ensure her safety is not only shameful, but a dereliction of the university's moral and legal responsibilities. Such negligence demands accountability.”

The Lawfare Project is seeking injunctive relief and money damages based on federal, state, and common law claims arising out of the pervasively hostile environment Mackenzie has been subjected to, as well as Columbia’s retaliation against her because of her status as a Jew.

“Columbia University failed Mackenzie and decided to launch a retaliatory campaign instead of protecting her from Jew-hatred,” said Brooke Goldstein, founder and Executive Director of LP. “If the university had provided her with the appropriate accommodations that she is legally entitled to, we would not be in this situation. Columbia, like any other college or university, must protect the civil rights of their students and provide them with safe learning environments free of discrimination.”

“It is simply not acceptable that some American colleges and universities tolerate and foster antisemitism,” said Eric Levine, Head of the Litigation Department of Eiseman Levine Lehrhaupt and Kakoyiannis, P.C. “If this lawsuit is about nothing else, it is about bringing those days to an end.”

Over 100 Arrested at Columbia After Univ. President Orders NYPD to Clear Pro-Palestine Student Protest

Columbia University President Nemat “Minouche” Shafik on Thursday called on New York police to forcibly clear a student occupation on the lawn of the school, which had been dubbed the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, resulting in over 100 arrests. The protesters were demanding the Ivy League school divest from firms and institutions that profit from the Israeli occupation of Palestine, but Shafik ordered the raid a day after being questioned on Capitol Hill about ongoing pro-Palestinian protests on campus. The move caused outrage among students and many faculty, who decried it as censorship and a violation of academic freedom. The renowned professor and presidential candidate Cornel West, chair of the Columbia-affiliated Union Theological Seminary, joined students Thursday in solidarity with their protest and told Democracy Now! they “represent the best … of the human spirit,” and lauded them for “fighting in the face of domination and occupation and subjugation, and doing it with tremendous determination.”

Cerita Tentang Kak Izzati, UI, dan yang lain-lainnya

Kali ini aku mau cerita soal salah satu inspirator aku, role model aku, seseorang yang bisa kubilang, cukup sedikit-banyak berpengaruh buat hidup aku. Namanya Kak Izzati.

Karena kemarin Kak Izzati alias Kak Izzi baru aja wisuda dari Columbia Univ. Yang ternyata barengan sama salah satu kakak alumni RK, (yang kutau belakangan dari sebuah grup alumni RK, hihi). Jadi aku mau ceritaa soal Kak Izzi kali ini.

(it gonna be a loooongggg story)

Pertama kali aku kenal Kak Izzi tuh waktu SD, melalui buku karangannya. Kalau kalian pernah baca serial KKPK, pasti enggak asing sama yang namanya Sri Izzati. Iya, karena dia adalah salah satu penulis pemula seri KKPK dan bahkan pernah dapat penghargaan MURI sebagai penulis termuda. Keren banget emanggg Kak Izzati inii.

Aku sangat mengidolakan Kak Izzati, karena waktu aku baca bukunya saat itu langsung berpikir, 'keren banget ini tulisan anak umur 8 tahun(?) udah sebagus ini'. Memang waktu nulis buku itu, Kak Izzati masih SD dan udah sebagus itu ceritanya! Judul bukunya adalah '2 of me', yang cerita soal anak kembar. Sebagai pembaca yang seusia Kak Izzati waktu menulis buku itu, aku cuma bisa takjub karena kalau aku diminta buat menulis cerita, belum bisa sebagus dan semenakjubkan itu.

Kalau di kelas, kerjaanku dan temen-temen gengku selain ngobrolin Idola Cilik, novel-novel KKPK juga jadi bahan gosip kami. Soal penulis-penulisnya, cerita-ceritanya, judul-judul lain yang jadi rekomendasi, pokoknya macam-macam. Termasuk salah satunya adalah selalu membanggakan Kak Izzati karena emang kami se-ngefans itu sama dia hahhaha.

Karena Kak Izzati belum nulis buku lagi, dan waktu aku SMP rasanya udah kurang pas aja kalau berulangkali baca buku-buku KKPK-nya, aku mencari apapun yang membuat aku bisa selalu berhubungan dengan Kak Izzi. Aku follow ask.fm nya (yaampun ini sosmed jadoel bgt nggasi wkwkw. Sejujurnya aku lupa, ini eksis waktu aku SMP atau SMA ya), dan termasuk salah satunya, aku ikutin tumblrnya.

Kalau lagi pelajaran komputer dan pakai lab komputer sekolah, alih-alih memperhatikan Abi Ari yang mengajar kami (huhuhu maafkan saya Abiii), aku justru melipir pergi ke tumblr Kak Izzi dan membaca dengan seksama tulisan-tulisan dia di sana. Aku suka banget gaya dia bercerita, cerita-cerita yang dia tulis, apa-apa yang dia kisahkan di sana. Terutama saat dia bercerita waktu exchange ke Amerika dengan program Rotary.

Aku juga suka banget baca ask.fm Kak Izzi (hayo siapa dulu suka main aks.fm wkwk) yang isinya tentu menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan netizen. Mayoritas adalah soal SIMAK UI, Psikologi, dan tips-trick menulis. Iya, karena Kak Izzati kuliah di Psikologi UI lewat jalur SIMAK, dan tentu banyak yang bertanya soal tips-tipsnya dsb. Oiya, sepertinya ada yang bertanya-tanya juga soal exchange study ke dia.

Yha, jadi bisa disimpulkan bahwa hobi saya menulis dan bercerita mungkin salah satunya adalah karena dipengaruhi oleh Kak Izzi. Bedanya, Kak Izzi udah nulis belasan buku, kalau aku udah nulis ratusan surat cinta buat kamu tapi ngga dikirim-kirim. Bismillah semoga suatu hari aku juga bisa menumpahkan khayalan-khayalan fiksi di kepala ini jadi tulisan yang ciamikkk.

Suatu hari, Kak Izzati menulis di tumblrnya kalau dia akan mengadakan kopdar di Jogja. DI JOGJA! Senaanngg sekali rasanya. Tentu saja aku langsung mendaftarkan diri, karena nggak sabar mau ngobrol dan ketemu langsung bareng salah satu idola aku sejak iyikk. Ini sekitar tahun 2014 kalau tidak salah(?) Berarti masa-masa aku waktu transisi dari SMP ke SMA. Kopdar waktu itu tuh menurut aku eksklusif banget. Kami cuma ber-9 orang kalau tidak salah. Ngobrolnya lebih intimate, lebih hangat, lebih seru tentunya! Waktu itu tuh pas bulan puasa, jadi kami sekalian buka puasa bareng gitu. Senenggg karena berkesempatan buat ketemu bapak-ibunya Kak Izzati juga, yang sering diceritakan di tulisan-tulisannya. Super ramah sekali! Bahkan waktu pamitan, ibunya Kak Izzati memeluk kami satu per satu. Masyaallah a really warm family!

Waktu kopdar itu sebetulnya dekat dengan terbitnya buku baru Kak Izzati yang judulnya 'Satu Keping'. Salah satu buku favorit aku karena ceritanya (pernah) sangat relate dengan kehidupan aku (ceilehhh). Waktu pertama kali baca sejujurnya aku nggak paham isi ceritanya apa. Maklum emang waktu itu bacaan aku masih kentang-kentang gitu. Jadi disuguhin bacaan yang pakai kata-kata bermakna tinggi belum begitu paham. Kemudian waktu aku baca lagi buku itu saat aku SMA, aku baru ngeh dan paham dan WOW ternyata gini maksudnya! Ini buku tentang patah-hati yang menurutku superrr banget dan aku langsung suka, dan nggak bosan aku baca berulang-ulang sampai sekarang. Apalagi kalau lagi patah hati.

Iya, kalau lagi patah hati pas banget baca itu wkwkw.

Kalau dipikir-pikir, melihat perjalanan hidupku di masa lalu, apa-apa yang aku lalui, secara nggak langsung sedikit banyak dipengaruhi oleh Kak Izzati. Aku pernah ikut seleksi AFS/YES karena tau ada program itu dari Kak Izzati (dulu pernah daftar tapi nggak lolos, terus ikut Rotary), bahkan aku bikin tumblr ini juga karena Kak Izzati (sebelumnya aku main blogspot, tapi tema dashboardnya tuh lebih seru dan lucu di tumblr), aku suka nulis dan bercerita kayaknya juga karena Kak Izzati. Termasuk waktu itu aku kepikiran buat kuliah di UI karena Kak Izzi juga.

Selain itu, menurutku Kak Izzati adalah salah satu orang yang cukup berjasa dan berpengaruh bagi seorang Faiz dalam memilih jalan hidup (nggghhh). Waktu mau lulus SMA, aku lagi pengen banget tuh memperjuangkan UI, dan aku tanya-tanya infonya ke Kak Izzati. Waktu udah lulus sarjana juga, aku super galau soal dunia pasca kampus, dan aku cerita juga ke Kak Izzati.

Aku mau bahas keduanya, tapi dimulai dari UI dulu ya berarti kwkw.

Karena aku dulu sudah sangat getol ingin keluar dari Jogja, kuliah di luar Jogja, dan pilihanku tentu saja mendarat di UI. Sebagai 'calon' perantau nih, tentu saja aku harus mencari tau tentang kehidupan di Jakarta gimana (padahal mah, UI di Depok ya wkwk). Karena tidak ada yang terlintas di kepala, siapa orang-orang yang bisa kutanya selain Kak Izzati, akhirnya aku memutuskan buat mencari info tentang UI dan kehidupannya ke dia. Bertanyalah aku ke Kak Izzati soal tarif kos-kosan, asrama mahasiswa, harga makanan, biaya hidup, transportasi anak-anak UI, naninunaninu perihal kehidupan mahasiswa metropolitan Jakarta. Maklum, belum pernah merantau dan mindset aku soal Jakarta waktu itu adalah, 'kota yang keras dan misterius' (maksudnya, mengerikan, menakutkan, dan deskripsi-deskripsi lain soal Jakarta dari warga-warga daerah macem saye). Jadi aku mau memastikan dan mencari tau kondisi semuanya dulu, sebelum betulan mengalami nantinya.

Sedikit aku bertanya soal jurusan impianku, filsafat. Karena Kak Izzati kan anak psikologi yah, jadi kalau aku tanya-tanya soal filsafat tentu kurang paham. Maka waktu itu aku coba tanya ke Kak Izzati, adakah temannya yang anak FIB? Sekedar aku mau tau, filsafat UI ngapain aja, belajar apa aja, anak-anaknya gimana, mahasiswanya mengerikan enggak (eehh).

Ini cuplikan-cuplikan obrolan aku sama Kak Izzi. Baca ini lagi jadi ngerasa Omg Faiz, kamu sangat cupu ternyata dulu, bedanya Fakultas sama Jurusan aja nggak tauuu wkwkkw

Baiikkk banget Kak Izzi mah. Padahal aku bukan siapa-siapanya. Akrab juga enggak. Ketemu cuma sekali waktu kopdar, dan lewat buku-buku, tentu saja. Yah, beginilah hikmah silaturahmi dan kemajuan teknologi ya. Terima kasih untuk buku, sosial media, tumblr, dan segalanya yang memfasilitasi aku tetap bisa catch up sama Kak Izzi jadi berasa dekat walau sebetulnya super jauh:"

Long short story, akhirnya takdir membawa aku untuk tetap di Jogja dan kuliah di UGM.

Waktu udah lulus kuliah nih, aku mengalami graduated-student-life-crisis alias krisis pasca kampus. Super galaauuu karena bingung mau memutuskan; kerja dulu, atau kuliah dulu? Kalau kuliah, jurusan apa? Tetep filsafat? Atau mau ke jurusan lain yang terkait sama hobi dan kesukaanku?

Iya, sempet kepikiran buat ambil master di creative writing seperti Kak Izzi. Soalnya seru, thesisnya nulis cerita, tiap hari kuliahnya baca-nulis-baca-nulis dan itu tentang FIKSI! Bukan baca-nulis-baca-nulis jurnal dan makalah >_< Aku memang pernah ada di masa-masa suka banget nulis fiksi. Tapi mungkin lebih pasnya, aku pernah ada di masa-masa berjuang banget buat nulis fiksi. Suka, tapi sulit. Nah loh gimana tuh.

Tapi kalau aku, kayaknya lebih milih kuliah S2 yang thesisnya adalah nulis tumblr setiap hari sih. WKKKK

Atas kebingungan itulah, aku coba cerita (lagi) ke Kak Izzi. Lebih tepatnya, berkonsultasi, bertanya(?) Karena Kak Izzi juga sedang menjalani study S2 nya di Columbia, jadi aku pengen tau creative writing itu ngapain aja.

Baiikkk banget, karena aku nggak nyangka, Kak Izzi masih membalas pesan-pesanku. Lebih tepatnya, masih merespon curhatan-curhatanku. Setelah cerita terakhir soal UI, kali ini cerita soal pasca kampus juga direspon dengan sangat baik oleh Kak Izzi:" Terharu dehhh pokoknya.

Baik banget sampe sempet VN dan ketikin jawaban super duper panjang:"

Aku tuh selalu kepikiran, siapa ya nanti yang jadi suami Kak Izzi? Pasti dia beruntung banget, karena dapat teman hidup yang baik, cerdas, seru, asik, ramah, keren deh pokoknya! Aku selalu menunggu masa-masa pernikahan Kak Izzi karena yahh, siapa yang tidak penasaran dengan kehidupan idola masa kecilnya.

Sampai akhirnya, akhir bulan Februari kemarin Insek nge-DM aku, "Iz, Kak Izzati nikah ya?" waaa aku langsung excited DEMI APA DEMI APA KAK IZZIIII NIKAAAHHH? Aku langsung lari ke instagram dan mengecek story kak Izzi (story Kak Izzi selalu ada di paling kiri) dan ternyata benerrr aaaaa KAK IZZII NIKAAHHH.

Aku langsung kepo banget sama suaminya. Ternyata masnya dari Jogja dan adalah merupakan mas-mas dari fakultas tetangga alias alumni FEB UGM wkkww. Meskipun aku nggak kenal, tapi ternyata kita beririsan. Karena waktu kutengok profil instagramnya, beberapa temen aku dan salah satunya adalah temen KKN aku ada yang follow dia juga.

Iya, ternyata masnya orang jogja hahahha.

Makanya waktu lebaran kemarin, Kak Izzi berlebaran di Jogja. Seru banget ngikutin ceritanya lewat story-story di instagram. Di sela-sela mudik, mereka berkunjung ke sekolah suami Kak Izzi yang itu adalah merupakan sekolah yang hampir setiap hari aku lewatin kalau pulang kerja.

Eaps. Dunia sesempit itu. Sesempit itu.

Terus kemarin waktu wisuda, Kak Izzi nih wisuda pake baju nikahannya. Wkwkwk lucu banget. Emang sih, baju nikahnya so simple dan bisa dipake buat acara-acara lagi. Yhaa siapa tau besok aku kembali mengikuti jejak Kak Izzi buat wisuda S2 ditemenin sama suamiikk dan wisuda pake baju nikahan.

Eh. Wkwk.

Senenggg bisa kenal KKPK dan kenal Kak Izzi dan baca-baca tulisannya dan nungguin banget niihhh, goresan-goresan tinta selanjutnya~~

When Columbia University gave Winston Churchill an honorary Doctor of Laws degree on March 18, 1946, some students protested. School books belonging to the picketers lie on the sidewalk. Police routed the demonstrators from the gate about five minutes before Churchill entered the campus.

Coaching Jurusan S2

ya Allah mau tes ielts besok minggu aja aku sebenernya kemarin sempet yg anxious bgt ya bundd tp kaya di puk-pukin gt sm suamiku “km udh les dari tahun lalu, aku lihat kamu juga rajin latihan. Coba skrg ditenangin dirinya dulu, minta ketenangan sm Allah, kan kl ngerjainnya gak tenang nanti malah bs jd km gak teliti, salah-salah.” HUHUHU BENER JUGA 😭 entah kenapa bnr2 kek ngandelin latihan-latihan-latihan biar bisa- biar pinter. Padahal the most important thing juga adalah. BERPASRAH because you’ve did your part :”)

Ya karena juga kmrn ngobrol sm dinda sih bhw kdg ngerasa sudah sgt prepare trs malah jd lupa bahwa the almighty could do anything for you. Dengan mudah, huhuuu!!! Jd agak tenang!!

Anyway i took another coaching sesh today. Soalnya aku tuh emg ngerasa ruwet bgt ya nyari jurusan yg sesuai sama aspirasi karir dan kontribusiku.

Kemarin2 kan sempet ngerasa firm sama jurusan maternal and child health. Terus ke midwifery nursing. But you know what?? Gue tuh menyadari, salah satu gap (atau problem?!) di bidang kesehatan itu bukan karena org gak punya ilmunya, tapi kadang expert or practitioner itu gak bs mengkomunikasikan health information/education dgn efektif shg pesannya gak sampe.

Krn ini yg aku alami di emcekaqu. Ketika i know abundance things about health and sanitation. Tp ternyata menyampaikan shg org tsb paham mengenai urgensi bersanitasi yg baik itu gak mudah! Ada burden education, culture, social yg perlu dipahami juga sm si health provider, thus i think social and behavioural sciences major is the best way to learn about that.

Knowing their belief, social and culture untuk menyebarkan nilai- nilai kesehatan. Of course dalam ranahnya adalah promotif dan preventif bikoz we dont wanna spend our tax on ngobatin org sakit dengan bpjs!! Apalagi kl sakitnya bs dicegah dgn perilaku (atau life style) yg lebih sehat. Promotif and preventive also about empowering others. Mereka bs berdaya dengan diri mereka sendiri, thus i think this should be the core of our health system.

Ini halaman kedua yg kucatat dr sesi coaching tadi. Huhuhu alhamdulillah bgt privilege bisa punya akses ke coach shg bisa menemukan jawaban atas kegelisahanku yg mana ternyata jawabannya ada di dlm diriku sendiri hehehe

AduhHHhh.. bismillah gaksihh nulis personal statement Harvard T.H Chan 😭😭😭🤲🤲🤲 kenapa harvard? Karena.. di social and behavioural science-nya dia dibawah faculty of public health DAN ADA PEMINATAN MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH NYA DONGGG 😭😭🫶 gmn semakin ngerasa gak jodoh? In line bgt sm apa yg aku cita-citakan tp balik lg yaahh.. kdg manusia ngerasa cocok tp ternyata gak baik menurut Allah jd berilah ruang untuk bertawakal dan berpasrah atas apapun nanti keputusan Allah

So far belum nemu lg jurusan social and behavoural sciences yg oke. Well ada sih UCL, tp ya masa PTUD smua wkwkwm siapa lo 😂😂😂 pengen nyarj univ yg agak2 realistis juga. Etapi, aing kan gak mah jadi mediocre, so i need to take my education di tempat yg terbaik jg dong??!! Wakakakakaka!! Mimpi aja dulu gess.. kemarin sempet nanya2 oxford jg sm kak noni tp ternyata di oxford gak ada jurusan yg aku mau huhuhu. Di US sih banyaknya tp td br liat ke UPENN, Stanford dan Columbia tdk ada hmm... NZ juga susah, kemana lg ya kira2 kemarin sempet liat jepang tp mereka risetnya sgt kuratif dan merasa kurang pas.

Dahh ngayal aja dulu, padahal tes IELTS aja belum wkwk. Laa hawlaa walla quwwata illa billah

The Evolution of Sun Wukong's Title

1. Great Sage Steel Muscles and Iron Bones (Gangjin tiegu dasheng, 鋼筋鐵骨大聖) - 13th-century "Kozanji version" "Emperor T'ai Tsung later enfeoffed Monkey Pilgrim as 'Great Sage Steel Muscles and Iron Bones'" (Wivell, 1994, p. 1207). [1] 2. Great Sage Reaching Heaven (Tongtian dasheng, 通天大聖) - 15th-century Xiyouji zaju play

"We are five brothers and sisters: my elder sister is Lishan Laomu [離山老母, Venerable Mother of Mount Li], my second sister Wuzhiqi Shengmu [巫支祇聖母, Holy Mother Wuzhiqi]; my older brother is Qitian Dasheng [齊天大聖, Great Sage Equaling Heaven], I myself am Tongtian Dasheng [通天大聖, Great Sage Reaching Heaven], and my younger brother Shuashua Sanlang [耍耍三郎, Shuashua the Third Son]" (Dudbridge, 1970, p. 110). 3. Great Sage Equaling Heaven (Qitian dasheng, 齊天大聖) - 1592 edition of the novel

"…What is there to stop you from assuming the rank of the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven?" When the Monkey King heard these words, he could not conceal his delight, shouting repeatedly, "Bravo! Bravo!" "Make me a banner immediately." he ordered the four mighty commanders, "and inscribe on it in large letters, 'The Great Sage, Equal to Heaven.' Erect a pole to hang it on. From now on, address me only as the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, and the title Great King will no longer be permitted. The Monster Kings of the various caves will also be informed so that it will be known to all" (Wu & Yu, 2012, p. 151).  

Note:
