Fall Semester is almost over! If anyone thinks I’ve been kidnapped by alien terrorists in the next two weeks…I’m likely just writing papers, doing last minute research, or working at the fabulous Library. I have remaining: 8-page paper for Anthropology Read More ➤
Sometimes most pleasure is held in the simple, natural things. Walking to the bus stop every day, I pass trees that are on fire with color. There are more on campus and around Newark.
Although this seems to be the best foliage in years, I haven’t have time to… Read More ➤

It’s been two weeks!? Nothing new, though. SSDD (e.g. same shit different day) as my good friend Luciana likes to say. I am fast approaching burnout, but I realized we’re about halfway through the semester? I’m not sure if that’s good or bad since I still have so much to do. This coming week I have two small papers, one larger paper, a “proposal” for my independent study, and a outline and bibliography for a paper due some time from now. The latter is the worst really, because I don’t write that way. I also have, oh, I don’t know 1000 pages to read for next week?
All that work, and guess what I’m doing tomorrow. Curse being responsible—I’m… Read More ➤
In case someone wonders where I am, my face is in a book for about 75% of my waking hours. The harsh reality of my semester has just set in, though there’s little I can do about it if I want to graduate in May. At any rate, this is what I’m up to:
Anthropology 487: Tutorial in Archaeology—This is one of the two required “capstone” courses for majors in Anthropology. (The other will be… Read More ➤
Well a few people have asked, so I’ll just put it all out there for anyone interested in what’s going on back home in Mississippi.
Most of the electricity is still out for about the southern half of state, including most of my hometown and surrounding area. This includes my mother and sister.
Mama didn’t get… Read More ➤
So there is this horrid requirement for my Political Science minor that I’ve put off until the last minute. The class is “Data Analysis for Political Science.” Yep, statistics—though mild, statistics nonetheless. I was planning to take it in either Winter Session or Spring Semester—at the very last possible time before graduation.
I’ve been worried about this class since I added the minor—not because I couldn’t pass it, but because I would be sure to get a B or lower. I need as many A’s as possible to get my GPA up to a 3.0 before finishing—it’s currently 2.969! The class is also a burden—meeting every single day, usually at… Read More ➤
Okay, it’s getting rather close to time to choose a grad school… since I’m now entering my final year at UD.
I could probably beg my way into UD. They require a 3.5 GPA overall, and a 3.5 GPA for all English courses. I have over a 3.5 in my English courses, but will likely barely make a 3.0 overall. The GRE would be important—and I’ve Read More ➤
There is surely progress in the world when you can go to a vending machine and buy a canned Coke with your credit/debit card. No change, no counting, no waiting. Just zip, press, pop and… Read More ➤
So I’ve finally started taking the train to work. Sure I only live 13 miles from campus, and the drive is only 30 minutes, but sometimes driving just gets old.
At first, since it’s summer and I have free time, I was taking only DART buses—two to be exact. That took over an hour, but still was only $2.40 per day for… Read More ➤
