A window inside life at Augustana College
So… after an awesome fall break (two visits to my high school, and one book signing by Christopher Paolini), it was strange getting back here. Week 1 was… vaguely unsettling. I guess I like my routine and I had it all figured out by the end of last term. And then everything changed. Different times [...]

Sorry for not posting last week but it was our fall break (Augie has 3 terms which are 10 weeks long) so I was little busy, plus I really had nothing new to report since my last post. My break was wonderful and so relaxing. I caught up on all of the sleep I lost [...]

When I first came to campus I wasn’t sure if I wanted to work or not. Being a first year, I decided to wait and see how classes went and then decide whether or not I could handle it. Fall term was a little stressful at times but overall it went fine and I also [...]

Just a note before you you read this post, its long and I’m more than likely making up half of it as it has been a week since the events I’m about to talk about. Oh well, it should be worth it, I half promise you. If you read til the end and decide that [...]

So winter term has officially begun! And it is actually starting to get cold out. Gosh darn it… This term I’m taking: French 331 (Intro to Lit), LSFY 102 (Hades to Hell), Africana Studies 101, and Psych 100. So far I really like all of my classes and all of my teachers so I’m super [...]

There’s a stretch of rural road near Cambridge, Illinois where suddenly the pavement finds itself reduced, narrowed and flanked by grasses. It is a surrounding that seems at once altogether foreign and yet so fundamentally familiar as one climbs the hill through the waving seed-heads. Whenever I find myself along this stretch (a rather frequent occurrence), [...]

Every fall break I tell myself I’m going to be productive and get a lot accomplished. I’m always going to read at least 10 educational books, apply to a lot of internships, and hang out with my friends every day. While I can’t say I had the most productive fall break, I watched seasons 4-6 [...]

Ramble, ramble, ramble. I guess that’s all that I can do since I can’t think of anything to write at the moment. I’m waiting for my chem lab to start right now. Mondays and Wednesdays are the worst because I don’t get a break once I start the day until 4:30. But you know… it [...]

Location: Anywhere I think my favorite nights are those ones where you look at your friends, all of you unsettled and bored, until one person finally asks what you all have been thinking: “You want to go somewhere?” Suddenly, it’s like the apocalypse broke out and everyone is desperately planning their escape route. It’s a complicated matter [...]

So I know it’s been awhile since I had the chance to blog and I apologize for not keeping everyone updated. Finals week was….interesting. I practically lived in the library. The finals themselves were a tiny bit less terrifying than I thought they would be. All the studying paid off and I am happy with [...]
