Tomorrow is my last day of classes… time to celebrate the end of another semester and the official holiday season? Not so fast! I have an unbelievable amount of work to do in an equally as unbelievable amount of time. I can’t even fathom it!
I put a long list of “Things 2 Do” on […]

An excused absence
October 31st, 2007 · 1 Comment
I hate missing class. Not only does it usually mean I get a 0 for class participation that day but it completely throws me off track. I end up having to hand in assignments late and miss the lecture and discussion. Sometimes, though, I cannot seem to motivate myself to wake up early and spend […]
John Edwards reaches out and embraces US!
September 27th, 2007 · No Comments
So I just turned on my tv, and it went straight to MTV where I saw that Sen. John Edwards was on it. He is doing a live myspace telecast, it’s set up kind of like TRL in that he is surrounded by young people, but it’s political and PROGRESSIVE! There is a good sized […]

Firsts and Lasts

Well, today is my first first day of school that I’m not attending. It feels weird that for the first time in nine years, I am not waking up at the crack of dawn, posing for a picture on our front porch with my siblings. It feels weird that for the first time […]

Facebook vs. Myspace: A class issue?
July 31st, 2007 · 1 Comment
As I was perusing Newsweek at lunch this afternoon, I came across a very interesting article. It talked about how the age-old question of our generation is: “Facebook or Myspace?” I read on, chuckling about how for our mothers it was “Paul or John?” (as in The Beatles) or for our dads, “Betty […]

New School, New Beginnings
June 14th, 2007 · 6 Comments
So I, literally got home from my LAST DAY OF SCHOOL about 20 minutes ago. I have been going to this school for 4 years. I used to go to school with Brianna, (also where my brother graduated from,) but then, in 3rd grade, transferred. I think it’s better for twins to be separated, for […]

Good Collective Karma!

I was checking out a blog from a yoga studio I loved in Washington, DC and found out about this AMAZING studio in NYC that provides yoga to the public for free with suggested donations only. Yoga To The People is awesome because it rejects the notion that yoga should be commercialized, glamourized, and capitalized […]

Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld
June 13th, 2007 · 5 Comments
One of my favorite books (tied with Eloise and the Feminine Mystique) is Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld. I don’t want to call it chick lit, because female writers have been lashing out at the term, because they feel it’s demeaning to and marginalizing of women’s literature, but also because Prep is a deep story. […]

All Girls Schools:Deal or No Deal?
June 6th, 2007 · 4 Comments
I just read Kate’s post on all-girls schools, and, now I wonder, could that have been good for me? I am probably just second-guessing myself about my choice of school, (a huge, really academic, with a really great arts program–bigger than most LA private schools,) but, still I wonder…
For a really long time, actually up […]

TRUTH
April 30th, 2007 · 2 Comments
I truly don’t understand it. So, so many people devote their lives to hurting others. In school last week, there was a current event about the tragedy at Virginia Tech. There are always questions that you have an option to answer and speak your own opinion. One of the questions was, “Do you think that […]
