So a non-productive post-spring-semester day for an adult with attention deficit disorder might hypothetically go something like this… Continue reading
Oh, the places you’ll go
The restless panic that’s set in for the last few of those years nearly drove me over the edge of madness. Standing in the line today to pick up my cap and gown, it still hadn’t sunk in that this was happening. Continue reading
Turtle journalism versus April O’Neil
When we’re sleeping and we have one of those really detailed, realistic to the point of being creepy, dreams that linger after we open our eyes… they begin to lose their shape as soon as we move from our bed. At least they do for me. Continue reading
The Finals taste like Final-berries!
I feel like I’ve just finished a triathlon and now someone’s asking me to do push ups for my prize. Continue reading

My coffee is cold, but my heart is warm
My first semester back after a four year hiatus turned out to be the last fall I’ll ever enroll as an undergrad. My graduation date is May 12th, 2012. Continue reading
Religion and politics
I’ve struggled for days over this post, since it is my big 600 (YAY a number that ends in two, count ‘em TWO zeros!) and there have been so many personally exciting events to write about lately. I’ll try to recap them… maybe post #1000 will be more poignant. Continue reading

Turtle Head Pokin’ Out
Scheduling is one of my challenges at this stage in the game. I’m going to start school this fall, and I’m going to have a schedule again; one that doesn’t revolve around bar time. Continue reading
A Point In Every Direction Is The Same As No Point At All
I find it endlessly amusing that the “Life” tag on my cloud up there gets in the way of the “therapy” link. Since my life has always gotten in the way of any chance at actual therapy, it’s fitting. Continue reading
Emergence of Wisdom
So the “minority” are just meeting fire with fire. Walker’s beckoning the democrats to come on back to the cafeteria and get beat up, but these guys are bringing the whole school with to watch it go down. More power to ‘em. Continue reading
