According to an article from Sandra […]

Yesterday I was required to go to the Greek Week convocation. As many of you know, I’m involved in a […]

A call for some kind of resolution…
September 14th, 2007 · 5 Comments
I’m sorry I haven’t really blogged about school yet, GHQ!
Anyways, to get started…
I really love the school. I have a lot more freedom then at my old school, (free periods, choosing classes and electives, etc.) but I have been having some issues.
This summer was a huge peaceful learning experience. I learned so much about myself […]

here’s the dilemma
September 11th, 2007 · 2 Comments
Breast feeding is encouraged by doctors worldwide because of its plethora of nutrients, yet aspiring women doctors (also mothers) are not given additional break time to pump breast milk for their children in between their exam. How much sense does that make?

The VMA Wrap-up
September 10th, 2007 · No Comments
Well, tonight’s MTV Video Music Awards definitely opened up my eyes to the fact that I’m getting older! I thought tonight’s production was mediocre, but did have its highlights.
