I really loved 2009. I might even go ahead and say they were the happiest 12 months of my life thus far. I know - that’s kinda a big statement, but my life seriously does seem to get better and better every year. Lucky me, right? I’m kind of starting out the year on unsteady footing, so in order to make sure that this year is just as amazing as the last, here are a few of my...

So it begins. The second I opened my eyes this morning (three hours later than I hoped) I was completely overwhelmed. I will be studying for four days straight starting today and definitely pulling a couple all-nighters. As much as I hate the feeling of having too much to do in a short period of time, I almost enjoy finals week. Well, okay, maybe not enjoy but I do like the energy on campus....

There are three weeks left of this semester. What does that mean? It means that I will be in a constant anxiety-ridden state until I am on the road back to MN on December 17. This week, I have one exam, a 10-page research paper due, a 15-min presentation to prepare and present and a final project that needs to be completed. And lucky for me, as these three weeks progress, it will only  get more...
