Well readers, I promise that the next entry will reveal all the duties I perform in my amazing internship.

IContinue reading "There’s No Place Like Home!"
Internship Application Saga (part 2)
(Well readers, finishing up part 2 ended up taking longer than I anticipated, but at last, here it is. Read part 1, the entry below this one for the beginning of the story). So OnMilwaukee.com sort of fell through, but I didn't panic too much yet because I hadn't heard back from Reader's Digest.Continue reading "Internship Application Saga (part 2)"
Internship Application Saga (part 1)
Well readers, between family commitments and the typical summer heat and humidity that always makes me feel sluggish and uninspired, I haven't been able to write the internship update I promised over a month ago. I have been picking at it, writing a couple sentences a day, but the inspiring story of our country's foundersContinue reading "Internship Application Saga (part 1)"
Thinking of You Kelso
Well readers, I know I promised in my last entry that the next entry would be about my internship experience. But in light of an event that happened last week, I couldn't get inspired to write about internships.

The Best of Times and the Worst of Times
Well readers, I haven't written as much as I would like in this journal, and when I have written, the entries have often been tailored to Lj Idol topics and blog carnivals. So I think an entry that is simply an update on my life is long overdue. I have so much to update youContinue reading "The Best of Times and the Worst of Times"
Another Lecture in Ethics

Osama, Osama! Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye!
Last Sunday evening, May 1, 2011, my parents and I ordered The King's Speech from our cable company's on demand movies list. The war on terror was the furthest thing from our minds when about an hour in to the movie, the phone rang. My mom paused the movie to answer it. It was myContinue reading "Osama, Osama!

“I Want to Get a Guide Dog Just for the Hell of It”
Well readers, it's that time again! It is time for another Assistance Dog Blog Carnival, which you can participate in if you would like by going to http://thetroubleisme.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/announcing-the-3rd-assistance-dog-blog-carnival.

What Does Seeing Feel Like?
Hello readers. Last week, I was on Spring break, a much needed break I might add, especially because for some reason whoever makes the calendar decisions for the college decided to make spring break two weeks later than it was my freshman and sophomore years. Although I have a lot I could talk about, especiallyContinue reading "What Does Seeing Feel Like?"
