Only because we all really just need a break. 5 weeks of spring semester is like 10 weeks of fall semester. It’s lengthy. To stay sane with repetitous homework, I’ve found myself …

Weekly Overview from my new office: the Kletz

We continue a strange cycle of getting dumped on, followed by three-seven days of 40-50 degree weather–melting all the snow.

Springing into Spring 2012
We have officially had a full week of classes in the Spring 2012 semester and boy, I’m excited! With the new semester comes a breath of fresh air, a revision of goals, and clarity of the “big picture.” I’ll only have 6 more “new semesters” like this….well at least as an undergraduate. I’m famous for …
Studying 101
Well I am now back at school hitting the books. So far my classes are going well. It feels weird studying after three weeks of break. My brain needs some time to adjust to actually sitting and reading for hours straight. Thankfully, I am learning quickly that I need to stay on top of my …
