I was driving the other day and realized suddenly that the radio was playing Christmas music. It’s not even Thanksgiving yet. Isn’t that the rule? No Christmas celebrating until after Thanksgiving?? I feel like they were trying to take away my Thanksgiving celebration by squashing it with their Christmas cheer.  Thanksgiving is one of my [...]

I used to have this recorder that was at that time in my life the coolest thing ever. You could record your voice and then replay it sped up or slowed down. You could keep recording things and hear things you’d recorded in the past as well as things you’d just recorded. I had the [...]

Can’t I just be a permanent student? My suite-mates and I grapple with this idea almost daily. Especially as the job search emails from CCD come in weekly, friends are interviewing, and other people are even receiving job offers!
