I recently went to my old middle school and high school to donate copies of my book and do a little bit of promotion (at the middle school) to hopefully get them interested in reading Standing By. Going to the schools was surreal, of course, since nothing has really changed inside of them. It's even … Continue reading Nostalgia
That, my friends, is how long I have off until my third semester of graduate school begins. Earlier today I took my last quiz for my Children's Literature class (before 8am) and instead of wasting the next five hours before work reading or wasting time deciding what to read next, I figured, 'what the heck? … Continue reading Four and a Half Months
Hi strangers! It's been a while. I was planning to announce a short hiatus from my blog because I'm just burnt out from everything that's been going on lately, but then I never got around to doing it. So here is just an update on what's been going on in my life these last few … Continue reading Hello. It’s Me.
Hey friends. It's been a while... like three weeks? Yeah, that sounds about right. Apparently, when you're a blogger, you're not "supposed" to point out that you've been absent for a while, but I don't typically follow the "rules of blogging" either. Why? Well, everyone is different and you shouldn't be told how to run … Continue reading It’s been lovely, but I have to scream now
It's happening everyone! I'm going back! I got my acceptance email the other day saying that I have been accepted to Wayne State University's Online Master of Library Science program. This is something I've been mulling over for the past year and a half and after working in a library for nearly a year now, … Continue reading Back to School?
No more papers, lectures or overly-priced textbooks for this girl because as of Saturday, I am a college graduate! All I can really say is that graduation weekend flew by! Though the graduation ceremony itself seemed to take a long time due to the speeches and having well over 1700 undergrads walk the stage, it … Continue reading Class of 2015… We Did It! {weekend recap}
I know something is totally out of whack when it's 33ºF outside, yet I find that temperature to be real nice. With the winter we've had here in New England, having it be 33ºF outside by 9:30 in the morning is such a relief! I kid you not, for the first time this year it felt like … Continue reading When 33º Is Warm…
It's August of 2003, the start of a new school year. I enter my first Spanish class of the year. There aren't many people I know and I will not come to be close to any of them by the end of the year. There is one person, however, whom I end up chatting with occasionally … Continue reading How Best Friends Came To Be
Earlier this semester I was teamed up with two classmates for our first assignment in our video production class and as it turns out, they would be my partners for the rest of the projects we had to do this semester. We all mesh together perfectly and we don't have to fight for a certain … Continue reading Working In a Group
"You can't judge a fish based on its ability to climb a tree." Ever heard of that? Well, it's the same with education. Someone who is good in math might not be as good in science or history (and I may or may not be talking about myself here...). The reason is not because … Continue reading Education: They’re Doing It Wrong
Before I begin with this post, I’d like everyone to know and recognize that I am not racist or prejudiced in any shape or form. I would greatly appreciate that no one will even say that I am. That would be lying ladies and gentlemen. Now with that said, we can move on. There is one problem … Continue reading The REAL American Language Barrier
