I always like it when subject matter from one class spills over into other classes. Perhaps I just like coincidences. In my English 202 class we're reading books about India. In my English 235 class we're reading stories, poems, and two books written by American Indian authors. Two different kinds of Indians with two very similar histories. The ( Read more... )

I happened to be browsing facebook and came across this little article in the "Notes" section of one of my friends.

We finally cracked and turned on the heat. And I am a much happier person because of it. Now, instead of being congested and sore with a scratchy throat and a headache and sneezing my head off in a house that never gets above forty degrees, I can do all of those things in relative comfort at roughly sixty degrees. Upon further discussion, we ( Read more... )

I want to get a thermometer put in this house to see how cold it is at night. This is getting ridiculous. Four people have now come in and said "I think it's colder in here than it is outside ( Read more... )

Got registered for classes, been hanging out with Morgan and Jess a lot, still haven't got any word about the jobs I applied for, and am looking for an on-campus job so I can work around my class schedule easier ( Read more... )

I am a lonely Meghan. Morgan had to go back to the Tri-Cities a week ago, and Kati left on Friday night to spend the weekend at home. This leaves me here all on my lonesome, which results in a general sort of boredom and me taking a lot of walks and watching too many movies. I'd get a hold of someone to hang out, but as far as I know the only ( Read more... )
