On the way to work the other day, in the rain, glancing at the covers of the papers on the newstands – the NY Post, Daily News, AM New York – the headlines showed a bombastic and smartass and altogether manufactured corral of attitude against Obama, in reaction to the Republican “shellacking” of the Dems […]
Month: November 2010
work hard.
Fridays are our weekly lab meetings. After reviewing the usual administrative “blah blah blah” the senior members of our lab and the P.I. shared that they feel I am ready to write my first paper. It looks like I will be turning my poster from AACAP into a potential publication? Who knows? The world is mine […]
oh, was it only just yesterday that I said I can’t wait to be a super genius scientist? Yeah…I want to be free and an artist, again. Shit.
Security On Campus
Yesterday I received the email that the school sent out about the robbery that happened outside of Kiely on Monday. I was shocked that a student was robbed by knifepoint on school grounds, and it only really made me feel stronger about the security (or lack thereof) on campus. I kind of hate how easy […]
watch the bed burn
Gone! All the days of begging–the days of theft, no more gasping for a breath! The air has filled me head to toe and I can see the ground far below. I have this breath and I hold it tight and I keep it in my chest with all my MIGHT..
… I pray to God this breath will last as it pushes past my lips as I gaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaa aaassp. I think I may have used this title already, but I love it and it suits my mood. November has arrived meaning (dum da dum) AACAP is finally over! which allowed me to enjoy the […]
The Costume Vote
Halloween and Election Season arrive when Autumn is at its peak, a good time for the city. And there is something a Halloween costume store has in common with a local campaign headquarters. For a few weeks, each of these places rent space and anticipate a day of climax, after which they close down, to […]
Life is Full of Surprises
10/27/10: Life is full of surprises. I wish I didn’t have to go through a loud disturbance at 4am that kept me up until school started but the experience is the most important. Experiences can be used for good or bad, depending on how you view and use the. Tuesdays are those days that if […]
Fall Back
First came the wave of midterms, swallowing up everybody’s free time. Finally, there is an end in sight. But this weather has been depressing! Walks to school have been bitter cold. It makes me want to stay in bed and curl up under the blanket all day– a tempting thought. The weather forecast doesn’t look […]
Midterm Madness
I’ve been out of commission for the past few weeks. MIDTERMS! It’s amazing how all of a sudden you realize that you have nothing but endless hours of studying ahead of you. I’m happy to say that I made it through most of them (some of them just barely), and I’m nearing the end. Soon, […]
