“So what have you been doing this summer?” I get this question every year from friends and relatives, and usually, my response is a lazy “Nothing really. I’ve pretty much just been reading and relaxing.” This summer as you readers know has been different, as I had finally accrued enough wisdom to be eligibleContinueContinue reading “Internship Duties and New Perspectives”

Home Alone
You know what readers? I should stop making promises in this journal. The longer I have been blogging, the more I am beginning to realize that my writing inspiration is as unpredictable as my state’s weather, and as cool as my internship experience has been, I feel more inspired to write about a different kindContinueContinue reading “Home Alone”
There’s No Place Like Home!
Well readers, I promise that the next entry will reveal all the duties I perform in my amazing internship. But I thought that since I have at least ended the suspense about where I am doing my internship, that you guys wouldn’t mind a break in the series for the assistance dog blog carnival. IContinueContinue 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 the entry after this one will be about my internship, but I need to use thisContinueContinue reading “Thinking of You Kelso”
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 youContinueContinue reading “The Best of Times and the Worst of Times”
Another Lecture in Ethics
Well readers, after a long semester full of writing, I havent felt inspired to write lately, but I wanted to update this blog to let you all know I haven’t forgotten about you. Then I remembered that I had another ethics paper I wanted to share. You may remember that I shared the firstContinueContinue reading “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 myContinueContinue reading “Osama, Osama! Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye!”
