So I think the new project that I should save for is rather than going to Europe when I graduate next summer, Tracy, Sharon, Ben and I...and whoever else is interested, should save to go research gender in a third world country. Maybe Africa! We could spend a month there talking with the people, observing how gender forms in their country- who is ( Read more... )

So today I went to Ford’s Theater, the house that Lincoln died in and the United States Holocaust Museum. I had been to Ford’s Theater and the house before when I was in middle school. I remember the house that Lincoln died in and seeing the bed and pillows in a plexy-glass case was my most favorite part of the experience. Looking back, I have no ( Read more... )

I have been in DC for 5 days now and I miss everyone at Western greatly! It has been an adjustment even though I am used to city life. And I even found myself missing Macomb and the PACE Saturday night when I was out at an overly crowed, overly rated club. Well really, I think I just missed all of the grads in my program the most ( Read more... )

Now that I live in the Midwest and have traveled around a little, I have been able to add a few states to my map!

So I was on the shuttle today going to the S. Campus because I was too lazy to drive, (even though I do love my new car!) and I had a few random thoughts. The first was about Florida and my ties to this god for saken state. When I am down here I can get away with saying I am not from here, which is entirely true. I was born in New Jersey and raised ( Read more... )

So rainy days are not all that productive because all I and anyone else wants to do is sleep! I am sooooo tired of being bored off my ass. And I know no one who is not bored right now, except for maybe Chris who is living it up in Spain. Just to give you an idea , I read all of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone yesterday. Who does that? So yeah ( Read more... )

I had one of the best conversations today that I have had in a very long time! It was great and totally unexpected. First, we went to Panera Bread, which thanks to Chris, I have developed an obsession for going there. But aside from good food, there was this fantastic conversation to go along. I sometimes feel so alone and just distant from the ( Read more... )

I have been feeling rather reflective lately. I am not sure why. Maybe out of summer boredom. Maybe because I am closing a chapter. Anyhow, regardless of the reason, I am confused, satisfied, saddened and in love all at the same time. And somehow I see these all as good things. I guess I just have not taken the time to stop over the last few years ( Read more... )

SO my ex just called me and was like..."Hey, do you like Sarah McLachlan?" (we have not been together in over 2 years f.y.i.) And of course I skeptically replied "Yeah..Why?" "Well, I have two tickets to the concert tonight, but I can't go and I was wondering if you wanted them ( Read more... )

My four years at FIU have flown by and I feel as if I only began to take advantage of the friendships and bonds I have created here just in the past year. I spent my four years giving to the university and student population through my extra-curricular involvement at the cost of academics, friends, relationships, and family. Now I know I have ( Read more... )
