Let me first start by saying I'm writing this from HOME! Yes folks, that's right. I have once again made it back to good 'ol Fremont, Indiana. It's the first time I've been home since the very beginning of August! I guess that just goes to show how much fun Butler can be and how much...

"Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering." -Yoda I'm not much of a Star wars expert, but I don't think it takes a diehard fan to know that "the dark side" refers to the bad guys in the Star wars films. According to wikipedia its when Jedis use the...

Today was my last day at my internship with the Governator. Overall I would say it has been an absolutely wonderful experience: it was my first real internship, I got to live on my own in a new place (and not under campus's rules), I got to experience living with new people who were strangers before...

Grades came out yesterday and it looks like I survived my semester of chaos with a 4.0! I am happy that all my late nights and hours at the library paid off, because it was definitely my toughest semester yet. Two really reading intensive classes on the same days of the week meant lots of time hitting...

Season's greetings from the land of Jazz and seafood. This is our first Christmas that we are celebrating in the house since my dad fixed it up! The holidays these past few years really have made us grateful for what we have and for each other. It always surprises me what changes when I come back...

So as you all know, last week was Thanksgiving. I mean, that's obvious. But the real interesting thing about last week is that I got to be HOME for the first time all year! And it was sooo warm and wonderful and I really, really, really, really, REALLY do not want to go back to the cold! I took a...
