I am at the tail end of an epic 6-week-long road trip with my cousin. The trip was ostensibly for him to visit graduate schools. I think that constituted less than seven days worth of our time. We went from NH to New York, Philadelphia, DC, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Illinois, and on Wednesday ( Read more... )

On the road with Shay for six to eight weeks. I'm accompanying him on a whirlwind tour of grad schools across the country. Right now we're in Baltimore. Next stop: Ohio. We'll eventually get to Colorado, Chicago, and Toronto with many other stops along the way.

Also. Classes are starting. WTF? Who takes classes in college?

I read and watched Obama's speech on his reverend and racism. I read it first, and intended only to watch a little of the speech because I knew it would be long. Since I haven't really watched him speak before (more on this later!), I thought I should at least look ( Read more... )
