It's awkward posting again after a post like that, but I'm glad you all liked it so much. It's now my most liked post of all time, so thank you. Why do I write? It's bizarre to think back to fourteen-year-old me sitting at my desk one November afternoon and picking up a pen with … Continue reading Oh, How I’ve Grown
Forget Home
It's easier to forget that I have another life on the other side of the ocean than to admit I've been neglecting that life. I've spoken more french over the last year than I have spoken to my mom at all. It's only now, with a week of classes left to my entire university experience that … Continue reading Forget Home
Cork Board Trifecta
It's my second-last week of classes and I'm finally starting to feel that thing that happens when something is about to end. My senses are in overdrive, trying to take everything in and commit it all to memory. One of those things is the room I've been staying in this year. Of the three rooms … Continue reading Cork Board Trifecta
Writing Influences
In class this week we were thinking about what makes us the kind of writers we are. This was good timing because I've been thinking a lot lately about the writer I am, the writer I want to be, and the writer I will most likely end up being. All three are fairly different from … Continue reading Writing Influences
I’m Back
I haven't been blogging all that much this past week, or the week before, but I have reasons! I spent the last week of February sick and feeling sorry for myself, and the first week of March getting over it and working on my ECP/dissertation/thesis. I'm done now, and I've printed it all off and had it … Continue reading I’m Back
Why You Should Avoid All Emails
Sequel to Why You Should Proofread Emails. Oh my god, will I never figure out this email thing? The first true story I ever put up on this blog was Why You Should Proofread Emails and while I haven't exactly repeated the mistakes of the past, I managed to mess up pretty big anyhow. Let's set … Continue reading Why You Should Avoid All Emails
Hello Friends
I have nothing to be embarrassed about! ...right? As I've mentioned before, as part of one of our courses my classmates and I are required to make blogs. I don't know what that means for me, already having made this blog and keeping it up nicely, if I do say so myself. I'll find out next … Continue reading Hello Friends
I Met Claire Fuller (Again)
I NEED TO STOP BUYING BOOKS! My suitcase is going to be so heavy by the end of the semester that the airplane won't even be able to lift off the runway. But this time I swear I have a good reason! (I know I always say that, but I always do, ok?) This evening … Continue reading I Met Claire Fuller (Again)
Asian New Year
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, but I celebrated with friends today instead. We got dressed up, had a ton of food, and then sat around talking until midnight. We got to talking about what we'll be doing this summer and where we'll all be going. We're going to be in different countries, although I'm the … Continue reading Asian New Year
Through Cracks
It's possible I have over-extended myself. Between my job, running Writers' Society, working as a student representative, seeing friends, and running this blog, my university assignments have been falling through the cracks a bit. Why can't the days be longer? I don't have enough time for everything I want to do and unfortunately this means … Continue reading Through Cracks
