So I write/edit/publish a newsletter at work. One that will be sent to thousands of college students. I am surprised at how much I enjoy the process, given my non-natural talent for anything writing related, not to mention my issues being concise.
I preview and re-edit the newsletter about 10 times before I hit the “Send” [...]

I depart tomorrow, where I will drive out of the driveway of the house, which I’ve called “home” for 25 years, even if I haven’t exactly spent all of 25 of them living here. I suppose it’s fitting that in the 25th year, a quarter of a century, is the year I leave not just [...]

HOLY CRAP! IT IS DECEMBER. When did this happen? I am moving in just under 4 weeks and OMG, it is going to go by so fast. Which super excites me and terrifies me all at the same time. I’m going to do my update with bullet points, because I pretty much love the bullet [...]

Greetings from O’Hare airport, where I am sitting here WAY too early for my flight. (After spending a year traveling via air for my first job, I mastered the 30 minute arrival before flight, through security and on board strategy. Alas that was before 9/11 but I still don’t show up before the preferred TWO [...]

When I was really little I used to have these horrible dreams/nightmares/hallucinations whenever I was sick with a fever. I can remember them so vividly… and they always were the same while I was feverish.
I am in my backyard, at the end of the yard is a growth of tree limbs overgrown on top of [...]

So my review was this week – and long and painful story short – I came clean and was honest and told them I’m leaving in July.
I don’t think it was a surprise to anyone. Although it was incredibly sad for me because I didn’t want to go out this way – not being able [...]

I’ve made no secret that I get stopped for directions often. My guess would be at least 1.5 times a week on average.
Today’s was a little more exciting. As I was walking down the street to get some lunch, oblivious to the string of cars parked along the side of the street, I hear this [...]

Words can’t describe the disgust and sick feeling in my stomach regarding the 22 students killed on Virginia Tech’s campus.
An institution of higher learning where thoughts are crafted and critically formed – the very symbol of rising above and learning to our responsibility in this world… is the scene of such a massacre.
What is happening [...]

I stopped by my favorite supermercado when I got off the train tonight (there are at least 5 within a block radius of the Metra stop so saying it’s my favorite means something).
I got some cat food and was looking for bubble bath, which they didn’t have, when I passed a small boy – say [...]

Not tonight anyway. I had mapped out today as the day that I was going to wrap up my essay for one of my applications (read: start). It’s on my future goals with this degree.
The problem is nailing down my future goals. This degree is my future! I have ideas of what I want to [...]
