Man vs. Grandma
For this post I created a movie spoof paralleling “Man vs Wild”. The idea was that spending a few nights at my grandmother’s house was similar to a few nights out in the wild. It was an enormous amount of fun to make, and my grandmother loved being the center of attention. You will notice… More Man vs. Grandma Continue reading
Interview with the Cousins
Over the course of this blog, I have realized my posts have been less about my grandparents and more importantly about family. I have been privileged enough to be born into a wonderful and loving family that enjoy coming together over the absurdity of my grandparents. My parents, brother, uncles, aunts, and cousins have regularly… More Interview with the Cousins Continue reading
MY MENTOR
I asked my aunt to write whatever she wanted about me, our relationship and our shared passion: teaching English. She sent me an e-mail last Sunday with ‘a contribution’ for my blog. This contribution makes me really happy since she has been a crucial person in my development as a professional. Silvia, my mother’s sister, is… Continue reading MY MENTOR Continue reading

My Running Idols
I believe that it is very important in any sport to have someone to idolize. Luckily, I have many idols. Cross Country/ Track is full of so many inspiring athletes. Some of my most favorite elite distance runners Kara Goucher and Mary Cain.

We Lift Things Up and Put Them Down
Even though our fall season has technically been over for about a month now, we really have not seen any slow down. We are either running or lifting 6 out of 7 days of the week- just like in season. Don’t get me wrong here, I actually do enjoy being with the team and getting better every […] Continue reading

Hunting For Jobs and the Dreaded End
So as I forgot to mention in my “about me” blog post, I am a senior this year. With that comes the realization that in less than six months I’ll be in the real world doing real world people things (whatever the hell that means). To be honest it’s starting to slap me in the […] Continue reading

A Close Reading of Seamus Heaney’s, “Mid-Term Break”
For this week’s post I’ve decided to do a close reading of Seamus Heaney’s poem, “Mid-Term Break”, first published in his collection titled Death of a Naturalist. We briefly looked at this poem in my English 220 class but ever since… Continue Reading → Continue reading

Another Look at Role-Playing Games: A Few Points About Two Games I Attended
As I said before, I played two games invented by my friends McClain and John. McClain’s game was a survival-horror genre game that had shor t and simple limitations. John’s is a fantasy mash-up “4th wall” game that is… Continue Reading → Continue reading

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
Time is flying! I’ve been here for almost 3 months and I have gone through a storm of feelings and sensations. I have traveled, I have known amazing people, I have laughed and I have cried, but the most important thing is that I have learned. I spent my 24th birthday surrounded by new… Continue reading HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS Continue reading
