Mark Twain
I visited the Morgan Library, which is having an exhibit on the papers of Mark Twain. I got myself and my ladyfriend in free, using my new badge from the Brooklyn Historical Society, where an internship must hold value other than paychecks. Most of the materials in the Twain exhibit were letters and handwritten manuscripts […]
12/13/10 EEK! Last Week
Let’s talk about CUNY First. Does anyone not have trouble with this new system? It felt like a new system that was enacted in the middle of a semester since it was switched over before a whole year’s completion of school. It’s not only the students that are having trouble but also the professors. A […]
The Information District
The other day, while I walked along Worth Square, across Fifth Avenue from Madison Square Park, highly canvassed with European walking tours and lunch hour foot traffic in and out of the local outdoor bazaar, an old black man with a cigarette hanging from his lips coasted slowly on his bike through a crowd of […]
I am awesome.
and I got a raiiiiiiseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (fyi, I am still broke) and I am going to Greece this summer. Did I mention that my favorite scientist is town for a book release in February? The same one that I stalked at SFN. I already bought my ticket. No, I am not a dork. Rama part II. (Oh, and […]
Unnecessary Challenges
The semester starts out really smooth. Everything is going well. It seems that there is no rush in anything. We have a lot of days off. Professors are absent once in a while. We go to class, take notes, do the homework, relax, and then comeback again. Eventually things start to change. Before you know […]
Happy Landings 2010-12-12 01:32:14
I had a beautiful dream last night. It was sunny, although shockingly quiet. I was sitting on this steep hill looking at houses and, beyond them, a city. There was a willow tree at the bottom of the hill and, though I could see the wind blowing its leaves, this dream was shockingly quiet. Still, […]
The Final Countdown
This is it! Just one more day of classes and we’re done for the semester! And then a week of painful, panicked studying for finals and we’re all done for good! I can’t wait. I am so ready for a break already. The truth is–and I’m sure most people would agree–I’m just not in “school […]
Finals Suck
I know I’ve missed a couple posts but here you go I’ll make up for it. Finals week or weeks is and are crazy. I will honestly say this semester has probably been the most difficult and jam packed with work out of all my semesters in Queens College. But it’s all good I […]
Beware….
The scene shop in the Theatre Department on campus is about to undergo a renovation. I work in the scene shop as my work study, which means that much of the reshuffling of tools and equipment has become my responsibility. Wow, can I just say that there is a lot of stuff packed into that […]
