Again...It's been a while
About 9 months later and Yes, I have moved back to Minnesota. I ran my second and third half marathons, but not the full, as after moving across the country I had very little money to spend on a plane ticket to Seattle. I finished classes at PC before I moved, but have temporarily put SCSU classes on hold, for a few reasons ( Read more... ) -

call me an elitist liberal, but...
I'm definitely stealing this from my friend Kelly. Eve's article is beautifully written. I really enjoyed it and then was terrified at the response article that Chanti found and posted.

Then a brilliant idea struck me..."Ride a bike around town to do your errands!" Good idea, I told myself, and off I went. First to the post office, ( Read more... ) -

Boring day...boring life - Check
So, now that I'm not running around Alaska with two super fun ladies, I realize that my life is pretty boring. Last night, as it was Friday night, I definitely ran out of work things that I could do at that hour of night, and started reading my Psychology text book. I haven't even started the class yet! Basically I'm turning into a huge nerd, ( Read more... ) -
Never say to a Police officer
So I get tons of these from my mom, and I have to admit...this one made me laugh this morning.

No time left for you...
At every stage in life, I'm so surprised by how much busier I was in the last stage. When I got to college, I was amazed that I played three sports, was involved in drama, speech, band, choir, jazz band, TEC retreats and still found time for a part time job all the way through high school. Now that I'm out of college, I look back and don't know ( Read more... ) -
One more reason I love my job!
Today I was cleaning out some of the files we have on our office computer. It's ancient and there are tons of things on it from previous scholars, as well as random things that the current scholars have saved from years past...
I found this while picking through things. I don't know whose it is, but it's definitely a former scholars and I thought ( Read more... )
