Murphys Law Gone Right

It’s good to be back.  Not only have we had a break from blogging, but a whole week off of class as well.  The Snowpacalypse hit the D.C. metro area and paraylzed Baltimore for an entire week.   The unexpected blizzard arrived on Friday February Fifth.  While I typically work in D.C. on Fridays, I was afraid the [...]

I wrote the beginning before the start of the semester… As I write this, I am on the train on my way back to Baltimore.  While I’m excited to be back and see all of my friends, I’m a bit sad to leave home.  It’s kind of crazy to think that there is very little [...]

Well, I am home. Sadly, I’m not done. After finishing a 12-15 page paper yesterday, I’ve moved on (just started) this 10-15 page one due…..Monday!  It’s been a rough finals period, but I think all of my hard work is paying off. Even with all work, I’ve still managed to have some fun.  Sadly, you can’t see the full [...]

Just wanted to write a short and mini-update since I will probably be living in a cave for the next two weeks.  Fall finals are upon us.   Unfortunately, I am typically blessed with the most horrendous final schedule.  I’m not saying that its worse than anyone elses, but just that out of all the [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!  It occurred to me that as I contemplated topics for this blog that I did not ever once write about my classes for the semester.  Well, considering that the semester is almost over and I’m on a mini-break for Thanksgiving, I might as well take advantage of my time off and write benevolent [...]

“I cannot go to school today” said little Peggy Ann Mckay. “I have the measles and the mumps a gash, a rash, and purple bumps. My mouth is wet, my throat is dry. I’m going blind in my right eye. My tonsils are as big as rocks, I’ve counted sixteen chicken pox. And there’s one [...]

“I’m Jackie, a senior philosophy major from Connecticut.”  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve introduced myself in the past couple of weeks and stumbled across that statement in the past two weeks.  But slowly, I’ve come to accept it…and dare I say, even take pride in it?  I mean, it’s not all fun and games.  I [...]

So, now I am a junior.  It's interesting really, I feel like such an adult even though shockingly, I'm still 19.  After such a whirlwind summer, it is nice to settle down in one place for four months.  I realized the other day that I can't wait until I have a permanent home.  Seriously!  In [...]

Wow, well I was just crushed in Jeopardy.  I hate when that happens!  Although, I am somewhat placated by the fact that I did get the final jeopardy question.  Who said, "I love to be alone.  I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude"?  Yes, that’s right, Henry David Thoreau.  I find [...]

Okay, so this past week has seriously exhausted me.  I had sooo much stuff to do and so little time.  Today, I feel a bit more relaxed despite the fact that I have a midterm on Monday.  This week and next week are still infinitely better than last week.  Did you follow that? Also, today [...]
