Once Upon A Year Ago

Posted on May 20, 2013 by

Fearful of Thinking, Afraid to Write

Posted on September 11, 2012 by

Today I was informed by a surely brilliant douche bag (umm,I apparently don’t take criticism well) that my writing was “abysmal.” And my thoughts are not well developed. And not original. Well. Let’s see. Not original. That is true. Well. … Continue reading →

The Anti-Educator

Posted on July 22, 2012 by

I’m in this class right now. And, I’ll use the term “in” fairly loosely. I’m not really present emotionally, physically or mentally. Which, if you know me, is an oddity. I’m a nerd. One of the academic kind. Meaning, typically … Continue reading →

ReHash The Past

Posted on July 20, 2012 by

Call me a Husker

Posted on December 13, 2011 by

I never realized how self-center MP was until like 3 seconds ago. I guess I should give you some back story. I’m a nerd (if you hadn’t caught on yet). I LOVE school. I love to learn. I love to … Continue reading →

I’ll take a side of “annoyed” with my burnt coffee, please
