I´ve been thinking pretty hard lately on my options for after graduation. For a while I thought I was locked into simply entering the working world and "that´s it" due to my college loans. It was a really uncomfortable feeling and I just ... Read more >

Recently I´ve discovered that if you give a cat a laser, you will have endless fits of laughter. The other week I bought a small laser pointer to user with Freckles. Since then, I´ve gotten her to do the wackiest flips, spins, circles and jumps. I got ... Read more >

Who ever read my post the other day about my seatbelt being stuck and said a few extra prayers for me, thanks. It´s been stuck like that for a few days now and after fiddling with it for a while without luck, I conceded and made an appointment with ... Read more >

Howdy, y'all! The southern accent? Yeah, it surprised me, too. I think I got it from Oprah, of all places. (She just did a show from Texas) Jajaja, aaaanyway... It´s getting to that point in the semester where everything is kind of snowballing. I ... Read more >

So, as many of you may already know, Halloween isn´t entirely my thing. I can´t say I exactly appreciate what it stands for, and in Madison it´s an obnoxious, rioting drink fest, which again, isn´t my cup of tea. I saw a lot of drunk drivers on the ... Read more >

I should have known better than to have said that life has been pretty steady on Monday. I came home from work around noon on Tuesday and was about to leave for class when my roommate came home from her classes about 5 hours early, as she did not feel ... Read more >

Ok, so it´s not actually a Manic Monday but it sounded like a good title nonetheless. Life has been pretty steady lately - not many exciting adventures to speak of but by no means any tragedies either. This past weekend my roommate went home to visit ... Read more >

This past week has been a whirlwind. I´ve had a mountain of work and exams to make up from being sick. Good news - I survived. Bad news - I still have a hefty chunk of Chinese to go before I´m completely in the clear. I´ve teamed up with some classmates ... Read more >

Yesterday I went to a pumpkin farm about 20 mins southeast of Madison with two friends and had an absolute blast! My body really needed the fresh country air after being cooped up sick in my apartment for two weeks. We did everything from the huge petting ... Read more >

I convinced myself that I was feeling better this weekend and went to Mount Horeb, a small-ish town about a half hour outside of Madison for their Norwegian Heritage Festival. Apparently there´s a fairly large Norwegian population there. This festival ... Read more >

Unfortunately rommie love = H1N1 sharing :( Neither of us have it terribly bad, compared to the other 66% of campus, but with the aches, pains, and mild grade fevers we were strongly advised to stay home from school. All of which meant that I have ... Read more >

I met with all of my Chinese language partners. They are all very out going, anxious to discuss progressive ideas and all in all excited to help me learn their native language. They are surprisingly good matches. It´s been a while since I´ve had someone ... Read more >

Surprisingly enough, a lot has transpired within the last few days. I recently got new glasses, as apparently I haven´t been eating as much spinach as popeye. I´m pretty stoked about my new frames, and of course, seeing a bit better! I got one to wear ... Read more >

The other day, just before class, my friend tells me that monkies eat bananas upside down. (No, the monkey isn´t hanging upside down - well.. I suppose it could be, but that´s beside the point - it is holding the banana with the opposite end facing ... Read more >

Things have been going pretty fantastic lately. As some of you may already know, work gave me a promotion without actually giving me a promotion (it´s so small there are no promotions currently to be had). Essentially they gave me many supervisory ... Read more >

I went to the career fair on campus today. It was a little disappointing for someone in my field, as the overwhelming majority of businesses were looking for business majors, which I am not. However, it was a great experience in terms of giving me ... Read more >

Ui! Deep water aerobics is kicking my booty! (Although it feels OH so great to be back in a pool)
Can´t write much - Chinese and laundry are calling my name. Not to mention some kitty time with Frecks!
