25 Random Things About Me

I was just on facebook because I have nothing better to do on this unofficial snowday that has been thrust upon me by the dreaded Q11. While I was over there I spotted a note that one of my friends posted on her page. It was called “25 Random Things About Me”. [...]

First Day of Classes

So, yesterday was my first day of classes for my final semester at QC, and I’ve got to say that it went well. The professors seem really cool (plus this is the 3rd time i’m taking a class with my poli sci professor–who went on an interesting tangent about the hotness feature on ratemyprofessor.com), [...]

Learning to work hard

As winter break comes to an end, my brother has finally checked out his grades. Altogether, he hasn’t done so badly. However, there was one class that he didn’t do so well in–his math class. Normally, math is his best subject, but this time he failed. Finally. While I have [...]

“A New Birth of Freedom”

This morning I woke up with a new hope for the future that there truly will be “a new birth of freedom” as President Lincoln declared in the Gettysberg Address more than a century ago. On that day the man who became known as the Great Emancipator said:

Snow Day

Panicking

Okay starting to freak out now. A plane just crashed into the Hudson River, and I’ve got to fly on Saturday. Planes don’t crash twice in the same week, right? At least I’m taking American and this was United Airways. They are saying that the fuselage is intact, and that there [...]

According to SBTB, Ms. Edwards has had a massive stroke…i don’t know when exactly this happened…and that her fans are blaming the [...]

Idol and What Would You Do?

I just finished watching the premiere of American Idol 2009, and honestly there were less deluded morons that usual. Sure there were some like the guy who butchered the Tears for Fears song, but the emphasis was definitely on the better performers. There was this one girl who showed up in a bikini. [...]
