I am an advocate for technology and everything that it gives us, but tonight was the first time I took the time to realize what it steals from us. I was sitting on the couch reading On Chesil Beach and through the book I was able to notice the hair from the cardboard backing in the reflection of the television. As I held the novel in my hands I ( Read more... )

Tonight I went for a walk and realized I miss Flint more than I admit. I read different posts and miss everyone back home. I haven't been back in months and am starting to feel pretty guilty about it. My fiance has only been to Flint twice and for a total of four days.

I guess we should come home soon.

This is kind of a belated post, but I am engaged and getting married next year.

Well these past few weeks in Flint have been a blast, but my real reward is coming tomorrow night when I see The Flaming Lips. There are few things that make me sad about the show and the number one thing would be that Bekah won't be there. It's still going to be a crazy night! I have the whole day cleared for this. It sounds crazy and probably ( Read more... )

I am leaving Thursday to go see Radiohead in Philadelphia for two nights. It's only 2 hours from my house, but I am really excited about the whole thing. At first I was excited because I was going to go alone and then Josh and I were talking and now I have company...for one night. Josh is coming over on Thursday night to meet me in Philly and ( Read more... )

It's been a bit since I have been on this and even longer since I have talked to some of you. I feel sad about that. Last night for the first time since I have moved I sat in my bed and ached to see my friends. I keep thinking of my friends in Michigan and realize how great you are. You all should know that! I am doing great out here, but am ( Read more... )

This week has been what I've needed for a while. We have been on Spring Break and I have had a great time! Someone special came to visit me and it was a great time. My uncle came down a few weeks ago and it was a good time. I went to Philadelphia and Atlantic City, which was very interesting ( Read more... )

Everyone should attend this conference and come see me. It's only 40 mins from my house. I will be on Spring Break from school so I could be a good tourist guide. I am sure I could talk my roommate into housing a few of you. http://www2.mcdaniel.edu/mawca/conf_2006.htm

I never thought I would find a place where the people are as nice as they are where I work. To be honest I thought that we would have a lot of egos walking around the school, but that's not the case. Today we had an early dismissal and we have a "Bake Off." People just baked goods and we tried them and voted for the best. It was great! ( Read more... )
