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 [...]

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 [...]

LOL! Gotcha again!  The things I have to do to get people to read my blog.  But you’re here and that makes me happy!

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 [...]

I know that many of you are out searching for gifts for your loved and not-so-loved ones. While you’re rummaging through the poorly stocked shelves of your favorite department store, I ask you to consider this:  You will fail to find a gift for at least one person on your list and said person will [...]

So, with a little under 24 hours left in the 2011 NaNoWriMo cycle, I have won with 50255 words written in 29 days. But you know what?  I only wrote like half the novel.  I still have at least eight more chapters left to go.  However, now I get to write it at a leisurely [...]

So, last post I admitted to the world that I was so so far behind in NaNoWriMo that it was possible I would not win. Well this past week has been a hectic one.  And, I am behind yet again.  But does this mean I won’t win? I don’t know yet. Hell, I don’t know [...]
