3/29/06: The day it all started making sense
Life, in general, rocks. I’m writing this from the far Western coast of a foreign country, and I couldn’t feel more at home. I woke up this morning from a solid, jet-lag induced sleep lying not that far from a new friend. I was in bunk #4, she in bunk #1 in Room 419 of the HI-Vancouver. [...]

Go with your gut

Hiatus
Alright, kiddies. I’m off to get a couple of stamps in my passport. Oh, and I hear there’s some conference or some other. Play nice till I return. And no leaving saucy comments until I’ve had time to read to them. If you’re naughty, I’ll start requiring approval before they’re posted. Don’t test me. Cause [...]

Your social science lesson of the day

Collect $200 and five rejection letters when you pass Go.
So it’s not just me apparently. Check this out: NY Times: In New Twist on College Search, a First Choice, and 20 Backups I love this woman’s quote: “Anecdotally, I know that many students do this almost as if a game, to see how many letters of acceptance they receive,” said Andy Morris, associate [...]

Approximately 150 days (and counting)
Classes start August 21st. Which means that in precisely five months from this very day, I will potentially be sitting in an air-conditioned classroom in the middle of the Sonoran Desert. I will be 27-years-old, proprietor of even more student-loan debt, and staring down a pretty big damn goal. You’ve been asking how long [...]
