This week the Spring school semester began.

I’m taking six online classes.

At first I thought, “This is going to be so easy! My school calendar is synced to my iPhone, I have the iStudiez Pro app, and my school is signed up for access to the Blackboard Mobile app. Wherever I am, I can . . . → Read More: Navigating Multiple Online Classes

An interesting thing happened in media class. Our professor wanted to show us a “bad” sitcom he found detestable.

So he showed us Luckie Louie.

It was crass, but it was funny and he didn’t expect the class to relate so strongly to this show.

To his credit, he totally rolled . . . → Read More: Luckie Louie in Media Class

Since I was a kid, there is only one thing I swore I would never be. “A writer?” I would say with the snarling how-dare-you look and tone only an inexperienced kid could muster. “Sure, I’d LOVE to be in a profession that will turn me into a depressed, insane drunk. Who wouldn’t?!”

I read the material, but I’m not applying myself as much as I should.

No one to blame but myself, really. I could be spending time in the library, but my social life is important to me and sometimes I choose that instead. Why? Because I could get hit by a bus tomorrow. Of . . . → Read More: Going for Number One (or, Wow I have Priority Issues)

My friend Ro told me something last night that made me really take a step back and think about what I’m doing right now. “What you are experiencing,” She said, “is not the reputation of the college, but the culture of the college.”

Let me go back.

You may remember my teacher who said, . . . → Read More: The Culture of a College (or university or whatever)

This is a parody post of sorts. I keep hearing that it’s important to meet your teachers, connect with them, get to know them.

Who knows, maybe you’re supposed to try and play a pick-up game of hackie-sack with them. All I know is, if I don’t make then love me enough to write . . . → Read More: Meeting Teachers – Making Friends

If you’ve seen me on Facebook or Twitter, you’ve probably heard me talk about the LSAT.

Why I’m even considering law school is a whole other issue.

The test is Saturday. The day after tomorrow. So – as is my way – I’m an anxiety attack just waiting to happen.

My poor husband.

There is one advisor I’ve been trying to get in touch with since summer. It’s the pre-law advisor.

For some reason every time I ask a question he’s right there throwing back quesions and sending me this “what you need to know before considering law school” word document that is really not very . . . → Read More: No, Really, Advise Already

I go to a school that talks a LOT about social justice. So, you won’t be surprised to know it skews really liberal/progressive.

Normally, I don’t have an issue with this. I can roll with it and I agree with what I agree with and let go of the other stuff.

But sometimes, things . . . → Read More: Your Ideology is Showing

Everyone sees bloggers and writers as being enemies.

Except most bloggers and writers.

To me, the biggest difference is editing. Writers either have an editor or edit their own work multiple times before submitting it for publication. Some bloggers – okay, a metric ton of bloggers – think having a blog means never having . . . → Read More: The Difference Between Bloggers and Writers
