I usually don’t like to comment on things like this because I am a little superstitious in this regard, but I am curious who is viewing my website from the Watertown area? You alone are the reason that my website traffic has gained so much and you alone are almost half of the visits to […]
Within the span of two days, the temperature in my room dropped twenty degrees. While this might alarm most people, I should note that I keep my room between 75 and 80 degrees (radiators and a flat fee for utilities are my friends). Apparently the boiler in our apartment building broke beyond repair. When I […]
As promised, I will keep you updated on my Peace Corps application. Today I received an email containing some more documents to fill out. I was also told to expect some more in the mail. I have until February 17th to complete and return them. I also learned that there is no guarantee of an […]
Two weeks ago I posted something a little cryptic: I also am not sure what I want to do (well I do and I am working on it but something needs to fill that time). This post is to answer Amy, who asked “So what is it exactly that you want to do?” Today, I […]
I just want you to know that I am currently working on my directed study writing project for the semester. I have uploaded my first two drafts so far. I will plan on uploading a new draft each week or so. Every time that I do, it will either have more content made to it, […]

Just a quick thing, I added a script to my site that allows you to suggest what I write about. It’s the little tab at the bottom that says ‘Suggestions?’. I am not sure if this will be used or how, so it might just disappear. Let me know your thoughts on it.
Classes started today; I am less excited than I was yesterday. Regardless, I think I am going to have a good semester. My English class is on novels from the best, in my opinion, time period. I walked in late to my religious studies class (it started twenty minutes before I thought it did) and […]
I thought I would just duck my head in and let everyone know that I am still alive. I am ready to start the new semester. Well, mostly ready to write my directed study project for Creative writing. Fear not, I will post it here when I am done; possibly while I am writing it. […]
