Barnes and Noble has become another one of those places I used to enjoy but now avoid at all costs. When I step inside I know instead of being bombarded with an array of interesting books (or magazines in my case) and delicious coffee at my fingertips, I will instead be faced with an array [...]

Tonight after studying for the Logic Games portion of the LSAT (aka flipping through Women’s Health and Elle) I decided to torture myself by going to Wal-Mart. Although I would rather starve than go there, I have many people who count on me to not disappear anytime soon so I was forced to buy food [...]
Just In Time

Last night I went to Barnes & Noble in hopes of studying for the LSAT. Of course, I got distracted before I even made it to the comfy “study chair”. I was walking past the magazines to get to said chair (taking the long route of course) when I noticed a professor from the university [...]

Do you ever have a moment when it just hits you? Not a brillant idea or the solution to some problem. But instead that ball of stress that has been rolling your way for quite some time? I had been doing such a great job of avoiding the ball. Til just now. I could probably [...]

Yesterday morning I discovered the secret to studying for the LSAT. Here are some easy steps: 1) Actually get up and go to Barnes and Noble (probably the most difficult step of all! Once you are past this there’s no stopping you!) 2) Find a test prep book that suits you among the 8 million [...]

Tonight I was invited to come have dinner at the student workers house from the Study Abroad Office I work for. She and her family are Bosnian immigrants. At first I was excited, then I was nervous, then I was a delightful mixture of both. First of all, I have no idea if I can [...]
Procrastination Pays Off

On Friday I had an amazing discussion with a man that I probably should have met a long time ago. He is the director of the international student services department at the university I work for. I had an assignment for one of my graduate classes that involved me interviewing a professional on-campus. Of course, [...]
In Over My Head Again

I should be writing a news release right now as well as a newsletter. Instead I feel like writing a blog. You guys are very lucky that I am the Queen of Procrastination. This morning I registered for the LSAT. Call me crazy (or just your good ole Glutton for Punishment), but it’s something I [...]
It Just Takes Some Time

I never thought I’d find any fulfillment working at a job in Kentucky. Call it being young or naive, but I fought this idea for the greater part of my life. I am lucky that life threw me into a difficult situation that forced me to take a job in Kentucky for a while. As [...]

This morning I got up at a ridiculous hour because I couldn’t get back to sleep. Although I did go to bed before most 3-year-olds probably had to. Instead of using my time to tweak my new budget (maybe I’ll write a finance blog when it doesn’t make me want to throw up), or to [...]
