This is a reflective essay I had to write for my English 105 class. Last 105 class was today, and I must admit, I’m kind of sad about it. Really loved that class, and Rachel, my instructor, was fantastic. Favorite teacher this semester. Really am going to miss her a lot. Anyway, I whipped this [...]

Have you seemingly bricked your nook? Is it (mostly) unresponsive and seemingly useless and dead? Don’t throw out your beloved e-reader just yet. No, *I* haven’t had any nook-bricking experience (yet), but my dear boyfriend Jake has, and he kindly asked me to share his experience (as well as the solution) with you good people. [...]

Aren’t you happy? I’m starting to blog again!Celebrations aside, I’ve got some stuff on the brain I feel like blogging about. I’m sure none of you are too interested, but I enjoy writing, so bear with me. You may or may not know that throughout my life I’ve been a mild insomniac. Ever since I [...]

Christmas in England was nice, to say the least. I know you hate me going into details, so I’ll only once again point you in the direction of my photos.I’ll just have you know that England is not cold. Wales is cold. Freeze-your-balls-off cold. The temperature is somewhat tolerable, but the bitter wind is not. [...]

James and I took some myspace-esque emo photos. They’re definitely better than the last ones. Click here to see them all. Disclaimer: I’m not making any more disclaimers. Comment at your own risk. Take these photos for what they are. And last but not least, I’m so emo.

I’m home safe and sound in Arizona. I suppose, seeing as I’ve been dormant for so long, that I should make a humongous blog post about my trip to Spain. Well, here goes. I’ll try and write in a chronological order, but don’t scream at me if I’m off somewhat. I’m also not feeling very [...]

I had what I believe to be two very odd dreams, which as usual, I remember with amazing detail. I’ll start out with the one about the flying VW. It was the day of our departure to the sunny country of Spain. We’re leaving to Phoenix Sky Harbor when, alas, a mysterious old VW Beetle [...]

I’ve noticed that when I’m dreaming, sometimes I’ll encounter people speaking another language, like Spanish or Japanese.My question is that is it really those languages? Is my mind generating words that sound like it? Or is it really just English, but my dream-mind is interpreting it as foreign?Unfortunately I can never remember the words spoken, [...]

I got my AIMS reading and writing scores today. I’ll let the images speak for themselves. The reverse side of the sheet (describing the score ranges): Click on any of those to get the full context. So I am quite happy and proud of myself today. Hopefully I’ll exceed the math portion too! Supposedly if [...]

Well, I’ve arrived home in Arizona after a wonderful time in the jolly good country of Britain. I really don’t feel like blogging, but I suppose I have to.Note that this probably won’t be in the correct chronological order. Sorry. For the first few days, we stayed in St. Albans, which is about 20 miles [...]
