To my sister: I know it is too early. I don’t want to hear it.

Soooo my roommate was a very bad Jew and hung Christmas lights with me. Now, if you are the type of person my sister is, you may say that hanging Christmas lights this early is sacrilege. However, I am here to tell you that 1) we hung them this early because they are so pretty! [...]

Sonnet 1
Happy ye leaves when as those lilly hands,
which hold my life in their dead doing might
shall handle you and hold in loves soft bands,
lyke captives trembling at the victors sight.
And happy lines, on which with starry light,
those lamping eyes will deigne sometimes to look
and reade the sorrowes of my dying spright,
written with teares in [...]

GUESS WHAT TODAY IS?! NATIONAL POETRY DAY!
Sorry to shout, but I had to get your attention Internet! Today is national poetry day and in honor of that I have posted two videos below of my two favorite poems. One is just a reading, the other is a really cool video someone made to go along [...]

I’m sleeping with Darth Vader! It’s the scandal of the year.

“You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.” - John Green, Looking for Alaska
So it is that time of the year [...]

“Don’t you just love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies.”
Oh, yes Joe Fox. I do love New York in the fall. I love everything about the fall; the weather, the smells, the atmosphere… it can’t really be explained. You just have to feel it. For as long as I [...]

Smiles all around.

Today I was attempting to do some homework that isn’t due until Friday, although ultimately the “you have all day Thursday to do it” battle won. Anyway, the homework required me opening a book that I ordered off of half.com. It was a little old book about teaching grammar to secondary students, no big deal, [...]

To life, to life, l’chaim

I follow quite a few blogs (not all of which are listed over on the right side of this page, although those are the ones I visit frequently) and sometimes I randomly choose a post in which I read a large majority of the comments. I do not do this with every post because, quite [...]

I move into my dorm on Sunday and start classes on Tuesday. I promise more interesting blogs will be coming your way SOON.

Often in life I turn to my mother, sister, family member and/or best friend and say “remember the time we/you/I…” and then I go on about something that usually happened within the last, oh I don’t know, ten minutes or so, and they just look at me and say, “you mean the thing that just [...]

Somewhere My Mother is Wondering Where She Went Wrong.

Over on my Bullshish blog I posted a review about a freaking fantastic web series I watch called Dorm Life. You should be watching this too. My mother doesn’t understand why I love it so very much. I don’t understand why she apparently hates happiness. But still, we learn to survive with each other. Anywho, [...]
