What are you thankful for?

Today, I was asked a very appropriate and very difficult question: “What are you thankful for?” So after about 20 minutes of pessimistic thought that involved my Thanksgiving dinner plans falling through, the rejection of the idea “my health” since I’m sick AGAIN and the angry musings at motorcycles that drive on the sidewalk, [...]

The Chinese Army has taken over my office (October 19, 2007)

Let me just say, I am incredibly sorry for not keeping in touch with everyone better! Normally, I would try to email from home, but unfortunately my roommate neglected to pay the internet/phone bill this month, so I can now officially relate to those of you born before the year 1980.

I’m with Stupid (August 27, 2007)

Ok, so this part I wrote about a week ago, but I didn’t finish it. This email is gonna be ridiculously long. I forewarned you.
Well, the six weeks are up. I can speak English again, much to the chagrin of a of my few classmates who have never seen Wedding Crashers. Upon discovering that people [...]
