It has been almost exactly a year since I moved into my Arlington apt w/the boy and started my MA program. I promise this will not be an insanely long deep philosophical reflective treatise on the past year, but I figured I really ought to commemorate this occasion and actually blog again if I’m gonna [...]
I am such an urbanite at the beach. I clearly can’t go for more than 24 hours w/o being on my laptop, reading articles in the Post, seeking out the nearest Starbucks, or texting one or all of my friends on my BB, after which I’ll update my facebook status and tweet about how cute [...]
You knew I’d cave didn’t you? Maybe you already knew some of this stuff, but that’s ok. Read on!
I guess I should clarify by saying that this is more like my ideal weekday morning. I’m actually not going to say that I wish I could just stay in bed all day and read the papers and magazines and watch movies. I like doing that at times, but I soon get restless and feel [...]

A very vague title, I know. Sometimes I don’t feel descriptive; get over it. I was thinking about my friends tonite, having just gotten together with a few of them, and I realized – at age 21, I, for the first time, have a real group of girlfriends. Girls who really seem to get me [...]
So I’ve told some people about this, but I also feel like it really warrants writing about, as it affected me a lot. I was just at my last Model United Nations a couple of weeks ago and, in a dramatic deviation from my usual style, didn’t worry about busting my ass the entire time [...]
