Springing forward

I am back home from college until September, which feels like such a relief. No more 10 page research papers or roommates (to a certain extent). I have time to read. It seems like such a novel concept as I practically inhale books when I get the chance.
Over the past two days, I have read [...]

Thirteen

Thirteen Reasons Why I Need Summer Vacation:
1. I want to be able to read something that isn’t Shakespeare (as much as I love the Bard, I’ve had enough) or things from the British Literature II selected canon that drives me crazy.
2. I miss my best friend, SMA. Last summer, if you check old posts, we [...]

It’s been a long time coming…

I feel that since starting college in the City I have been stifled creatively and cut off from the world. This is very strange considering I live in the City that never sleeps and is the mecca for information, fashion, movies, celebs…everything. Everything is here, yet I feel so disconnected. I try to gather information [...]

Home Again, Home Again

I cannot begin to express how good it feels to be able to sleep in my own bed. I know this sounds so simple, but just being able to sleep in my own room and not worry about disturbing anyone is glorious.

Fighting the Good Fight

If you look at my ClusterMap, you will see  that the readers of this blog do not only span North America, where I am from, but they are from Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, and Australia!

Directing  invisible traffic
I don’t trust his judgment
Though his din in my ear reminds me to look up
And check for myself
That I’m still going the right way

Bright Lights, Big City Beginnings

Tomorrow, I (hopefully) will begin a new chapter in my life. I am leaving for the Big Apple, the City that never sleeps to live, work, and play in College Part II: the Later Years. I am both terribly excited and nervous as I begin this next phase in my life.
I am moving into a [...]
