The End

May 6, 2008

The end. I love when a good movie finishes with a great ending and then the words “The End” come up on the screen. For me, it’s just a great feeling that something good just happened, and it is wrapped up. Of course, the story still continues, …

Mayhem on 28th Street

Apr 3, 2008

Don't you love when you finish a paper, and then think about how you are now able to take that nap, go out to that movie, or even move on to the next thing, and then you accidently exit without saving, and all your work is lost? I know I don't enjoy it very …

Friends, Food and Fun!

It’s the weekend! Weekends are a BIG relief after a week of class. A lot of people go home, or at least those that live nearby do, but since I am from a million miles away, I spend my weekends catching up on much needed rest or doing something fun with …

Flat Tire at 99 Miles / Hour...

Feb 6, 2008

Sometimes, when we think we have it all figured out and under control, we just get a reality check that hits us between the eyes. If there is one thing that I can tell you, college life is busy. There are so many events and things to do that it is hard to …

My Friends are Awesome!

Jan 25, 2008
