(Preface: I had 2 hours of sleep last night.) Came home from APU/Michelle's graduation around 4ish, went to "lay down" in bed around 5, before dinner, and I just woke up after hearing my phone ring. Tyrone interrupted me from having a NIGHTMARE. My goodness, it was awful ( Read more... )

My LA Term experience has officially ended ( Read more... )

Tonight, I meticulously wrote out my schedule for next spring, which includes a somewhat spontaneous (well, with about 5 minutes of decision making) addition of "Soul Music" to my list of courses. I was juggling between being academically ambitious by adding a Social Work or Sociology elective but decided I needed neither a heavier work load or any ( Read more... )

Global Learning Term: one semester, one internship, anywhere in the world. No classes, no professors. The challenge to be completely independent in a foreign country.

I physically feel my heart twist in knots and I have ( Read more... )

LotR marathon: party of one. The only other time I've seen it was two years ago and I have to watch them all together. I'll forever love Samwise. And the songs of Bilbo Baggins. And the Ents. I've made my way through the final disc, and the night is still ripe for more unproductivity ( Read more... )

I want to take a moment and talk about my Immigrant LA class. You know that immigration is a hot topic and so this class has the potential to be great. We have these new adjuncts, with MSW degrees (one in micro and the other in macro) and are both Korean-American. Except, they teach on different days - with one prof doing lecture/conceptual and ( Read more... )
