Sorry, this is a horrible image, maybe I'll take a better picture later.
Journaling text: My first taste of the BYU experience was my Late Summer Honors class, Machiavelli in Hell, taught by Eric Dursteler. We discussed the rather amoral way Machiavelli presented the way a prince must live in order to properly rule, and whether it was something that was actually true of how rulers lead today. We also discussed different Gospel principles in Machiavelli's text. we googled Machiavellian pop culture references, tied Machiavelli to the weird movie Time Bandits, played Machiavellian Risk, and acted out Machiavelli's scandalous play, The Mandrake Root (I played Lucrezia). I also made my first college friends, Jami Elsmore, Lydia Michela, and Alia Strickling. Jami, Lydia and I set the tone for our first year of college by going swimming at Snowbird Resort on the first night instead of studying with everyone else. We learned how to play Donkey with our classmates Nathan Wood and Brad Seebeck, and later had a Time Bandits party with all of us and another friend from the class, Josh Doying. We ended LSH with a huge dance party at the Harmon Building - easily one of the most fun dances I have ever been to! It was a wonderful experience and a great way to get into the flow of life at BYU.
Machiavellian quotes: It is much safer to be feared than loved when one of the two must be lacking.
What makes him despised is being considered changeable, frivolous, effeminate, cowardly, irresolute; from these qualities a prince must guard himself as if from a reef, and he must strive to make everyone recognize in his actions greatness, spirit, dignity, and strength.
The princes who have accomplished great deeds are those who have cared little for keeping their promises and who have known how to manipulate the minds of men by shrewdness; and in the end they have surpassed those who laid their foundations upon honesty.
