Open Up A Restaurant in Santa Fe...

Spring Break? is a bust...

We made it to Goodland, Kansas before we started having problems. Our car was jerking and lurching all over the place... we checked into a hotel, and then took it to a priest-suggested (yea, will's parents called the local priest...) mechanic...

Inside and Out...
Clarissa left me a really sweet note in my mailbox the other day, and it pretty much made my day. At the same time, it's one that made me think, and is still driving me to distraction a day or two later. In the note she thanked me for being so faithful in coming to the Phi Mu bible study sunday...

What do you do, with a B.A. in English?
Gotta love that Avenue Q...

But seriously... what do you do? I'm an english major, religious studies minor, going to add a spanish minor as well. But what am I going to do with all that? The enlgish major, really, I'm not too worried about. I'll probably end up teaching, and I...

Counting down...
Spring break is officially within two weeks of today... Ah!! Will and I sat down today and planned our week in Arizona. Excitement!! Luke and Will are both too chicken to go skydiving, so we had to scratch that idea. Instead we're going to do a trail ride (yay horses!), rock climbing at the...

Valentine's day SUCKS

I haven't been alone on Valentine's day since I was old enough to care about it-since middle school. And now here I am, a freshman in college, and alone for the first time in years. All this time I thought everyone HAD to love valentine's day, if only secretly. But I finally understand the...

Something Exceptional
Do you guys ever feel like your life is... bland? Like you're not doing anything exceptional, so therefore you're wasting it?
Turns out one of the girls I met through community theater my senior year of highschool, Miss Admire, made it on to the next round of American Idol. (Congrats,...

Sestina for Poetry class- Tuesday Night Rehearsal
As he talks, they listen and absorb, mentally running through the motions again,
Making the changes he wants. If they get it wrong-even just one count- and he sees
It, they will go another round. Anything less then perfect, they know,
Simply isn’t good enough. The...

GOP...Grand Old Problem?

I have pressed through my high school career taking challenging classes and attempting to educate myself on a wide variety of subjects. I believed that if I learned as much as I could about as many different topics as possible, I would one day be ready for anything. Towards the end of my...

Cloverfield
Ok, so it won't be a week, just a couple hours...

The movie we saw tonight was Cloverfield... it's about Manhatten getting attacked by... something (a big ole' monster, you never really find out what it is or where it came from). It's kind of like the Blair Witch Project, if y'all...

Week One, Semester Two!!!
Well, I made it through the first week of the second semester! lol, yay team. I actually tried to make an entry multiple times this week, but it's been so crazy-I'd get halfway through it and have to rush off somewhere and couldn't get it done. So now I'm sitting here inhaling a quick dinner...

Hero

Newspapers and magazines hail Brittney Spears’ strength as a woman, discuss Lindsay Lohan’s latest exploits, and gush about the Duff sisters. These are America’s heroes; our celebrities. We place these people on gold plated pedestals and watch their every move. Our...

Playing it Straight...
Yup, I'm watching reality TV again. (Cut me some slack, I NEVER watch TV at school, except when Emily has it on and I'm trying to study, so over break I'm indulging.) This time the show is called "Playing it Straight", and there are a bunch of guys stuck on a ranch with...

Miss America: Reality Check
So, I'm sitting here watching the new TLC show Miss America:Reality Check, and I can already tell that I am going to love this. This is one of those reality tv shows that I think has it right-screw the typical pageant woman, what about her personality, strengths, weaknesses, hopes, dreams, etc? I...

Welcome to 2008
Well, let's see... it's six days into the new year, and I'm already wary of 2008...

Let's start with the fact that I've been stuck at home for two weeks with my family. We are not your ideal, loving, close-knit family. We are, in fact, the exact opposite. My dad hardly ever says...
