Something touching just happened to me so I must set it free into the blogosphere.
I recently received an internship to be a staff writer for a small magazine for girls. Now, I applied for this internship after having numerous phone conversations with people in the nonprofit field who told me I need to volunteer/intern with [...]

Jordan had a couple of days off this past week so I took advantage of his GPS and his presence and planned a hiking trip.  Now a hiking trip is something I have been wanting to do for weeks.  I figured that it’s peak leaf season these days, we’re in New England, and the wilderness [...]

So the coffee pot that carried me through my senior year at college has died.  My mother bequeathed the already heavily used machine to me as I left for Bates in August 2008.  I stared at it sitting on our kitchen counter in September 2009 and decided it was time for it to go.  It [...]

I know I seem as if I’ve been on an environmental kick with two posts in a row concerning this topic, but hey, it’s a rich and important subject with all sorts of juicy complications.  Basically, the environmental movement itself and how it’s received by Americans is ripe for analysis- especially one that uses race, [...]

Cleaning up after dinner last night my boyfriend turned to me with the piece of tinfoil I used to cover the marinating chicken that day.  “Should I toss this?” he asked me.  I thought about it.  We had just spent $7 on that generic roll of tinfoil and I was hoping it would last a [...]

As a recent college graduate I’ve only just discovered what career fields I think I might want to get involved with for my first job post-college.  This has been a long-winded process with many minor mistakes, personal freak-outs, and set-backs along the way.  It took me applying to a few jobs with mediocre cover letters [...]

So in going through photo after photo I have to examine all the writing on the back of each picture.  Sometimes there’s a lot, in different mediums (pens, pencils etc.) and by different people.  Often times its explaining the same scene in slightly different words.  It can get frustrating.  And boring.  And so my mind [...]
