My Job is Not a Hindrance

One of the most recent posts at the Girl Talk blog was entitled Homemaking is Not a Hindrance. It was an encouragement to me because even though I am not a homemaker, I often feel as though what I do forty hours a week is hindering me from what I really should be doing. Although [...]

Monday Perspective

This is a little girl from Nepal who crushes stones for a living.

Living at home after college…

…is, I must admit, a little strange.
I just spent the last four years getting used to being on my own. I started out as a nervous freshman in a tiny dorm room, but eventually I got to know people, got my own car, moved into an apartment with my friends, and enjoyed the independence.
And now [...]

Commencement Picture and Thanks

Hey look, it’s me! I graduated! My friend posted this on Facebook. My camera is broken and I hadn’t seen any pictures from graduation except the one that was taken as I received my diploma. I said I would post a picture, so here it is.
Thank you for your comments on my de-lurk post! I [...]

I’m a little overwhelmed… Last week I turned in a project that needed 30 small group activities… or so I thought. Come to find out, I actually needed [...]

You mean I still have to study?

Okay, so I’m writing this to inspire myself. I have to kick it into high gear here, people. I’ve been living in this dreamland where I do a little homework, think about graduation, indulge in melodramatic sadness about leaving my friends, yawn my way through the day, and ignore the fact that I have so [...]

One Page

Four years of making lists of the homework I have to do. The methods changed, but the substance didn’t.
I just made a list of all the homework I have left this semester, and it fits on one page.
One page, y’all!
I think I’m seeing the light. I can’t believe I accomplished everything (well, almost everything) on [...]
