Did anyone else seem to notice how beautiful the sky was on Monday? It was one of those rainy days…but the kind that catches the eye’s attention. Maybe it was the fact that the sky reminded me vaguely of Giorgione’s The Tempest (o! take that renaissance art class!). But, honestly, something about the green leaves […]
Month: April 2010
i have a new intellectual crush on Eric Nestler
He was the keynote speaker at NEURON. Sharing this experience with others from lab made these friendships stronger in a sense. It was actually really nice, minus my stupid anxiety. I am going to kick-ass the next time around! Hunter is also pretty awesome. Hello, e-permit! Huzeifa and I. He rocks and totally deserves for […]
Long week
A resident in the Summit informed me that we only have a month left before summer. I knew school was going to end soon but I didn’t know that it was going to end that quick. I enjoyed my stay in the Summit but I will not be returning next year due to personal and […]
Spring Break (The Middle):
On Sunday, March 28, I left around 1:30am to go downtown Ohio to go to Chicago, Illinois. Sunday was when I really started my vacation. The bus was supposed to arrive at 2:25am but it didn’t and we got worried. I called up the dispatcher and they told me that the bus already left at […]
QC English Honors Program
I have written a lot of posts about the QC English Honors program so I thought it would be a good idea to write a blog entry on the advantages of being part of this unique community. As an honors program it is restricted to students who have both a cumulative and English major GPA […]
need to reform QC student government elections
I hope I will not get too many angry comments or emails for writing this post but after spending 4 years at Queens College and seeing how student government elections are run I think that there is a serious need for reform. I am really annoyed at this time of year when I am consistently […]
no more gasping for a breath, the air has filled me head to toe
Bird Song Just after I wrote how happy and thrilled I am to be going to Greece this summer, I made the decision to call my travel agent and tell her to let go of the seat she was holding for my flight in July. You, (ha!) the imaginary person reading this blog may be […]
life is too damn short..oh Johnny, go on and be a matador!
01 Johnny Wants to Be a Matador Images from SOFA NYC 2010. Awesome experience. I felt a bit out of place among the wealthy casually buying pricey art for their homes, but at least I was able to appreciate gorgeous work and craftsmanship from so many artists and galleries at one venue. The human body is […]
NCUR 2010
This week I went to Missoula, Montana with a few Macaulay Honors students to present at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR). Since this was my second time attending the NCUR conference, I already knew what to expect and the experience was a lot less nerve-wracking. But I remember when I had to present […]
NCUR in Montana =]
I am currently still in Montana at the National Conference for Undergraduate Research (NCUR). I finished giving my presentation on Friday and I think it went well overall. ^^ I got a couple of questions from the audience and was able to hear about some of the interesting things other students were researching throughout the […]
