I want to talk about something very near and dear to my heart. Well, whatever “heart” there is or emotions that I have. I read in Stalin Weekly that suppressing emotions is entirely normal and healthy. One day I’ll have mustache’s on my chest and brush my teeth with Pennzoil and barbwire. One day. OH! [...]

If at the beginning of this year you had told me that I would be in a Greek Group, I would have told you that you were crazy. And I honestly would have laughed in your face if you had told me that I would be considering joining a second Greek Group. I would have [...]

Before this term, I’ve never had to focus on more than one major paper at a time. It always just happened (luckily, I suppose) that only one of my classes assigned a paper as a midterm or a final. One paper, even it’s 8-10 pages, is quite manageable. This term, I have three due at [...]

And with the click of a button, I registered for my last term at Augustana. It was an interesting moment. As per usual Arches, formally known as WebAdvisor, wasn’t working at the time I was supposed to register. Once they finally fixed that, I signed up for classes.

This past week, I’ve had three 8:30 classes canceled and one more that lasted only 15 minutes. So, it’s been a pretty good week. Now, I like my professors and I like my classes, so it’s not like I’m thinking “Yay! I don’t have to go and hear about British Literature or Social Theory for [...]

In honor of hitting 50 blog posts, I’ve edited this image to make it look like I am wearing a birthday hat because I don’t own an actual birthday hat (I feel like that is something everyone needs to own). Thanks to those of you who read them on a reoccurring basis or those who are tuning [...]
