we’re all going to die

So my virology professor is crazy. She is a yellow journalist if even I have met one. Since someone asked me for a definition the other when I was talking about this, I will provide one here. Yellow journalism is sensational journalism, exaggeration for the sake of selling papers. Well my prof is convinced that [...]

accent with a cherry on top, please

What girl doesn’t love a guy with an accent? British, Brazilian, and even the occasional Birmingham have all been known to perk up my ears.
What got me thinking about this was my study break to Starbucks. I guess I could just call it my Starbucks break. I recently heard a comedian say, “At my house [...]

trick or test

I have been studying all weekend. Because of Halloween. Yes, that’s right. Because of Halloween.
I was scheduled to have two exams this coming Tuesday: Plant Molecular Bio and Regenerative Bio. Thanks to the idiots in my class, I am still scheduled to have two exams this coming Tuesday.
Our regenerative prof said, “So I hear that [...]

no ifs ands or …

Butts.

Thank you NPR for a good laugh on the way to work this morning.
They reported a story out of Dallas, Texas where deputy mayor Dwaine Caraway, tried to pass a law banning saggin’. Probably the funniest thing of all was hearing the person on NPR say the word saggin’. Saggin’, no sagging. Thanks [...]

he takes her place [...]

You should be able to see the pictures on my last post now. My computer is getting old and sad. I’ve had to completely rebuild it the past few days. Not take it apart, just wipe it clean and start over. Obviously, like I could take apart a computer.

who says living at home isn’t fun?

Well I never had a problem with moving back in with my parents when I finished undergrad. It represented that I wasn’ t exactly where I wanted to be with my life, but the actual living arangement is quite nice. When my brother isn’t home for the weekend, it’s just me and my parents. We [...]

an ode to public radio

I’m just gonna throw it out there: I love NPR. I realize that I am only 22. I realize that many of the people who also love NPR are 40 or older. And I do not care. Because I love NPR. Just in case you don’t know, NPR is National Public Radio. And National Public [...]

The Alchemist

“Making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.”
-The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho-
The Alchemist is a fable about dreams. Not the ones that you have [...]
