So I haven’t tuned into the NFL for two years. However, I watched this year because I just couldn’t resist an NY/NE rematch. While this year’s Superbowl didn’t disappoint, it didn’t captivate me like it did in past years – no matter how much I love watching Tom Brady cry. - The soap opera that is [...]

Ok so the title of this post was totally for dramatic effect, LOL!Last post, I shared my three wishes for this semester with everyone. For my third wish, I asked that my neighbors push their weekly “Party Rock Anthem” fiesta from Wednesday night to the weekend just because, you know, that makes sense. I also [...]
Three Things I Want for This Semester

1.To Stay Healthy Every semester starts off the same for me. I exercise regularly, I eat properly and I take my vitamins. Yet, shortly after midterms, this trend ends. Between crazy assignments, a short vacation which makes me more susceptible to procrastination. I have to beat this trend. 2.To Write More Being a grad student [...]

After all the toiling, paper cuts, computer crashes and bad note taking, I sit here having survived my first semester of a PhD program. And while I thought getting a masters was rough, there are a few things about a PhD program that are far more unsettling: 1.) The reading load triples. – Yeah, this may [...]

So Xmas is a bit of a repeat of Thanksgiving for me which means somewhere around dinner time, I will be half dead or like the other food junkies, in a food coma. This Boxing Day, I will indeed be running a few miles to burn off the excess energy/tummy. See below to see what [...]

NaNoWriMo: So far Behind…

As usual, during the second week of NaNoWriMo, I find myself lagging behind everyone. It’s not that I’ve hit a road block and don’t have anything to write, but because I’m in Grad School! I can’t find time to eat let alone write. Excuses, Excuses, Excuses. I’m only 3400 hundred words behind and to be [...]

The past two weeks have been insane. I have really fallen headfirst into my research project, I’m completing fellowship applications which means chasing down recommenders, and NaNoWriMo Started! FYI – I’m about 3,400 words behind. No worries though, I plan to write my little backside off Friday night. What worries me though, are the strange [...]

The other night while listening to the couple above me argue over what movie to see … Ok, they didn’t argue, it was more like a contest to see who could drop the most f bombs in one sentence. I was going to enter said competition, but it was clear that registration had long been [...]
Sour Puss: Top Five Sour Candy Brands

So, I don’t really dig sweets all that much. But if I have to consume sugar in infinite quantities, it’d have to be of the sour variety. Because I’m buried up to my ears in school work, I’ve brought in the heavy artillery to get things done – a heaping pile o sour gummy worms. In honor [...]
