Oh no, I didn’t…
…or did I?
I did!
My graduation from Villanova is on Sunday and I do not care. Jamie from “Mythbusters” is the commencement speaker and I do not care (although Todd is disappointed that I don’t want to go). I received my diploma in the mail last December…that was the only thing I cared [...]
It’s Tuesday, so I had a “me day.” I took dogger to the vet this morning for her 6 month blood test. She is on Deramaxx everyday for her pain due to hip displaysia and has been doing wonderfully with it. I hardly know she has displaysia. However, she is tested 2 times a year [...]
In honor of David Hasselhoff’s return to “The Young and the Restless” (my not-so-guilty pleasure), I give you this:
Don’t say I never gave you anything!
I could be posting a love poem to my iPad, but I’m not. Not today. Count yourself lucky, as I can’t write poetry to save my life. Not that I ever tried…I really don’t like poetry. I remember sitting in one of my numerous history classes as an undergrad ranting about poetry. “Why don’t they [...]
My iPad is set to arrive next Saturday and needless to say, I am very excited. I’ve been waiting for this since I “watched” the live unveiling by Steve Jobs at the January 27th Special Event (I say “watched” because it was not streamed live, but instead unveiled through live blogging via sites such as [...]
My Lord, I have not blogged in forever! This was pointed out to me by my aunt a while back and well, Auntie (or as they say “ontee” in her neck of the woods), I am back to blogging…at least for now.
Grad school = DONE! It’s a good thing. I thought I’d be all sad [...]
Tomorrow at 1:00 PM EST, the Truth will be revealed…
So Jon Gosselin broke up with his 22-year-old girlfriend. No wonder he raised hell when he visited the “Today” show a few days ago. WATCH IT HERE
I realize that I obsess about grad school…the evidence is right here in my blog. Truth is, it takes up a better part of my life, and rightly so if I intend on making it worth my while. So, here is yet another grad school-themed post.
Yesterday, I visited my mailbox in the History Department (I [...]
This is how the Allies won the war (I know these things, I’m a historian!):

Two years ago, I posted my thoughts as I was about to embark on my first semester as a grad student at Villanova. I expressed my trepidation as I entered a new school where I knew no one, only to find a group of (mostly) friendly, intelligent, and competitive students. The workload has been heavy, [...]
I never imagined the Senate without Ted Kennedy. Until about 15 months ago, I never even imagined him to be a mortal man. The Lion of the Senate, he was politically present for so much of our late 20th century history. I happily included a quote from him in my paper on the Sino-American rapprochement, [...]
That’s us, at a Starbucks in Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Hey fellow Starbucks-aholics, would you go to a stealth Starbucks? Apparently, Starbucks is trying to compete on the local level by opening stores with more localized names. The argument is, and it is a valid one, that many people prefer small, local, non-chain coffee shops [...]
