I’ve had my license for five years now and have driven various stretches of the NYS thruway countless times. Yet I have still not figured out the easiest way to gather the appropriate amount of money to pay the toll when I get off. Right now, I always drive the same stretch of the thruway [...]

My blog has been sorely neglected this past semester, partly because of Twitter and mostly because of the obscene amount of work I have had to complete to finish my last semester as an undergrad. Yes, graduation is upon us. I will graduate on Saturday the 15th and I really have no idea where the [...]

Last week we were finally blessed with our first big snow storm of the year. Yes, it is kind of pathetic that upstate NY went most of the winter without getting more than three inches of snow at a time while parts of Virginia had two feet. But, hey, we can’t control Mother Nature. This [...]

I got to Advanced Fiction Workshop today to find much of the class very excited about something. I asked what was going on and someone told me that the guy who hated my story dropped the class! She talked to him earlier and apparently he was too overwhelmed with the work or something. It made [...]

Today I walked into Animal Behavior and the Psychology Department’s secretary was standing in the front of the room. My professor had canceled the last class and the one before that didn’t take place because of mid-semester break. So we hadn’t had class in nearly two weeks. The TV projector was on, so I figured [...]

Today in Fiction Workshop we were critiquing a story a girl wrote about someone who was stranded on an island. The island was described as very calming and a sort of paradise. However, the teacher felt like the story was more about the girl’s relationship with her mother (and I agreed). He then suggested that [...]

After a few weeks of not having much to blog about, I all of a sudden have quite a few things to blog about. I’m just going to put them in one entry to make my life easier. I woke up today to the lovely sound of my phone making a crackling noise that sounded [...]

Where did September go? Seriously, that month went so fast. Seems like the first day of school was just last week. But nope, it definitely wasn’t. Mid semester break is in a few weeks, which means that, hence its name, it will soon be the middle of the semester. Guess who hasn’t started her senior [...]
