I spoke too soon 2008-02-13 11:42:27 Aly just came in soaked. I’m happy now!
Lynn Magazine 2008-03-12 09:08:10 The Lynn Magazine
is out and the bloggers are in it! Debbie Stern interviewed all of us last semester for an article she planned to write for the magazine and I think she did an amazing job! She said that we’ve created “a living, breathing brochure for Lynn University,” which I thought was an exceptional [...]
Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire 2008-03-12 08:36:08 Have I mentioned that I work in the Lynn Library? I can’t remember, but I do. Someone came into the library this morning and told me that one of the cigarette receptacles we have out front was billowing smoke! I looked out the doors and could see a cloud of smoke covering the entrance to [...] Read more:Smoke
Liberal Arts Symposium 2008-03-19 07:52:03 The Liberal
Arts Symposium
was last week. I meant to write about it sooner, but other things just kept getting in the way. For those who don’t know, the symposium is a chance for students from the College of Arts and Sciences to share some of the work they’ve done throughout the year. My friend [...]
The Quest to Find Toilet Paper 2008-03-22 10:57:20 One of the amazing things about living in Old Lynn is that we get our own bathrooms and showers; we don’t have to travel down the hall to use the community restrooms like students do in three of the other dorms. I think we are very fortunate for that; I’m not particularly fond of public [...] Read more:Quest

What Really Goes on In the Library…. 2008-03-24 08:53:15 So I was having a conversation with my co-worker, Erika, this morning and I revealed to her something I only recently discovered myself: I can do push ups. Real ones, not girly ones. I usually only do girly ones, but I always see Kaileigh doing push ups, so I thought I would [...] Read more:Library
Grab an Umbrella…or the Closest Thing to It 2008-03-23 22:31:08 Most people would agree with me that being used by someone is not something they aspire too. Most people likely avoid it at all costs. However, I would bet that most people have not been used in the same way I was used Friday…
I went to dinner with Kaileigh, Sam, and Mitch, and while we [...] Read more:Thing
Chocolate War 2008-03-28 19:57:29 So I am the stereotypical woman when it comes to chocolate: I adore it! However, there is a point at which too much can be a bad thing. I have reached that point: I have had chocolate every day for weeks now. Not healthy. So I decided yesterday that I wasn’t going to have any [...] Read more:Chocolate
National Undergraduate Literary conference 2008-04-01 18:53:08 So I haven’t blogged about this, but I thought it was about time to get down to it since I’m leaving on Wednesday. Dr. Morgan submitted my research paper for American Literature I to the NationalUndergraduateLiterary
Conference at Weber University, and it was accepted. This is not something I expected to be doing, [...] Read more:conference
The Results of the Chocolate War 2008-04-01 18:22:13 I won. Sam didn’t think I could do it, but I did. Of course, at 12:00 on the dot, the first thing I did was open a Three Musketeers and eat it, but I was successful. Read more:Chocolate
I’m in Utah! 2008-04-06 13:12:12 The conference began on Thursday with a convocations session where Eleanor Wilner was the guest speaker. Later that night, we had a banquet as a welcoming dinner where Geoffrey Wolff delivered a monologue he had written. Brittany and I took pictures and made some new friends. We both wore dresses that were not appropriate for [...]
Roommate Trouble 2008-04-14 11:42:36 Aly moved out of our room about two weeks ago. I meant to blog about it sooner, but I haven’t had a chance. She and I hadn’t been getting along since before Spring Break, and more recently, she and Kaileigh had not been getting along. I know that advice is Morgan’s area of expertise, but I think [...] Read more:Roommate

Update 2008-04-20 09:47:45 The end of the semester is here again…and busy as ever! It doesn’t seem like there is enough time in these last two weeks to do everything that needs to be done. The last week before finals, I have 3 papers and a presentation due-only one of which I’ve started. I expect to be functioning [...] Read more:Update
No More Facebook For Me…. 2008-04-24 09:17:58 So I came up with an ingenious plan to keep me focused on my homework: forget that Facebook
exists!
Well, in all honesty, that didn’t work so well. Facebook has been a serious distraction when I write papers. It’s dangerous how close I am to due dates when I haven’t even started assignments. I’m not using my time [...]
No title 2008-04-29 11:17:45 <a href=”” rel=”me”>Technorati Profile</a>
The End…Almost 2008-05-01 14:58:35 So in case you were wondering, the No Facebook thing lasted a whole day…only long enough for me to finish one paper. However, I have to say I lasted longer than Alyssa, who asked for her password after a mere hour. Despite Facebook, I have been finishing all of my homework on time, and I [...] Read more:Almost
Blind 2008-05-04 10:04:08 So tell me if this doesn’t say how burned out by finals I am–I went blind this morning.
No, I’m just kidding. But I did put two contacts in the same eye this morning, which equates to the same thing. I was confused because I couldn’t see clearly when I should have been able to, and [...] Read more:Blind
A Car 2008-05-10 09:37:54 I have a car!! It’s a 2001 Chevy Cavalier and I love it. Of course, I’m not very good at having a car yet. In fact, I’m pretty bad at it. I went grocery shopping with my sister the other night. We spent a good 10 to 15 minutes in the store before I was [...]
A Different World 2008-05-18 20:44:23 Being home again is a lot different from being at school. For one thing, I have NOTHING to do! It’s a big change from school, where I’m busy constantly. Needless to say, I’m incredibly bored. It was great at first, but after a few days of it, I’ve had my fill of boredom. What makes [...] Read more:World
Still Jobless 2008-05-29 09:11:21 Have I mentioned that I really need a job? I applied at a daycare center called Pokachoag Acres (I may have spelled it wrong; it’s a difficult word). I would make about $8.50 an hour and watch kids all day, which sounds like a good deal to me. I’m just waiting for my cori report [...] Read more:Jobless
High School Graduation 2008-06-06 12:12:46 My little sister is graduating from high school tonight! My dad and stepmother flew here from England for the graduation, and my Mamaw and Aunt are here from Tennessee. Unfortunately, since her graduating class is so big, she only received six tickets. Three people will be sitting out. We tried to get more tickets, but [...] Read more:School

Congratulations Turtles! 2008-06-14 08:37:40 So Amber is officially graduated! The entire family is very proud of her.
As luck would have it, she sat on one side of the stadium while we were in the fourth row of the other side of the stadium. My mom spent the entire graduation standing on her side of the stadium just so she [...] Read more:Congratulations

Sibling Trickery 2008-06-25 09:18:21 Siblings have a special bond–one that involves lots of teasing. Me and my sister’s relationship is based entirely on teasing, I’m sure. Now that Christopher is old enough, he and I sort of gang up on her. But apparently, I’ve taught him too well…
My little brother pulled a trick on me today that I’ve been [...] Read more:Sibling
Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? 2008-07-29 21:35:49 For a year and a half and the past two summers, I’ve been working at Kumon Learning Center, one of the most rewarding jobs I’ve ever had. The program helps students learn math and reading from Levels A to O (I think). Each letter represents a higher level. Many students complete the entire program. When [...] Read more:Grader
Home Alone…without Macaulay Culkin 2008-07-15 14:56:16 As Ashlea pointed out to me, I haven’t blogged in a while. That’s because I have nothing to blog about! That comes as a result of my somewhat empty life right now. My days consist of sitting around on my bed, watching movies on my laptop and the occasional meeting with the stove. I thought [...] Read more:Macaulay

My First Car Crisis 2008-08-04 22:08:53 I set out on my first road trip alone this morning at 8 am. My best friend is getting married on August 9th, and I’m her bridesmaid, so I set out for Louisiana. My car is packed to the brim with everything I need to go back to Lynn, because I’m going straight to Boca [...] Read more:First

I Finally Started Working! 2008-09-03 11:27:21 I am so excited to have something to do. I started working in the library today, covering people while they are at lunch. There are so many changes! Everything has been moved and changed around. There are more study areas than there were last year. The movies are now in the middle of the library [...] Read more:Finally
Getting Busy Already 2008-08-29 20:55:31 Wow I had a crazy afternoon! I went to Lynn today to make sure that everything is in order so I can start the semester off without a hitch.
First, I went to the Parking Office to get a decal for my car. The person in charge was at lunch.
So I decided to go to SAS [...]
Marsha’s Wedding 2008-08-28 16:55:05 My best friend Marsha got married August 9th.
I was a bridesmaid! Marsha and Michael (the new husband) let me stay with them while I was there. I arrived in Louisiana earlier than her Maid of Honor, so I helped her get ready for the wedding and set up the church with her parents. The day [...]
More Car Crises…. 2008-08-28 13:47:55 I arrived in Boca Raton last night at 6:00 pm. Trying to get here was a disaster! I actually left Louisiana (where I was for my friend’s wedding) on Saturday, August 16th. When I got to about Jackson, Mississippi, my car stopped accelerating. It refused to move into 4th gear, so I was going down the highway at 40mph trying to [...]
