I still can’t believe today’s the last day of March. Tomorrow’s the first day of April, but for some reason I still feel like I’m living in January. Time must be moving faster than usual this time of year. It’s Thursday night now. Yesterday I took my Accounting 101 midterm. Accounting is not for me, […]

BioBibliography
My work with the James Forman Library is ongoing, and involves a term new to my vocabulary, “bio-bibliography,” which is the study of a person by way of their book reading, and the traces of their life’s work that can be found in the books they left, beginning with jottings, underlines, inscriptions, bookmarks, to get […]
Seeking Peace From The Deads
There are times when I just don’t find a quiet corner in life, and can’t really find peace anywhere. Humans are too noisy, too controversial and too busy. Of course living in a big city like New York makes it even harder to be at the moment where you can just hear the summer breeze […]
Test Me
It’s been over a month of tests. I’m still growing strong. I have tax test today and I will have cost accounting test II soon, probably next week. Haha. 3/27/11- The nap I had after my Money and Banking test definitely rejuvenated my system before I had to study for my Tax course. I also […]
The Eye of The Beholder must be blind
Perhaps this may offend some people. Oh well, here it is goes. I recently came across an article online regarding a “beauty” pageant that involves severely overweight women. There were two size categories competing, “size 14-20 and size 22-36.” Also, the women competed “in day wear, evening wear and lounge wear segments.” Now I am […]
Organized Parties at QC
I’ll admit, I’ve never been a party girl. Honestly, I don’t party because I very rarely ever get the opportunity. When I say “party”, I don’t mean it in the sense where you dance your butt off and then get completely wasted. No. My view of partying doesn’t involve drinking, because I can get drunk […]
MS
Every six months my mother visits a neurologist in Livingston, New Jersey. Ten years ago she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. There are lesions on her spine and brain. She doesn’t walk too well and has problems remembering things sometimes – though whether Bonnie’s memory is a direct result of MS is uncertain. In fact, […]
Its & Bits of QC 2011-03-23 09:33:19
I don’t dream big when I don’t invest big. I first take a good look at myself in the mirror before I dream of the things that I want. Sure, you can say that I’m negative and don’t have enough confidence but I’m extremely realistic and almost 99% of the times my predictions turn into […]
The Value of Comparative Purposes
“They’re only words… unless they’re true.” – Speed-the-Plow, David Mamet (1988). Last week, the American Society of News Editors hosted the celebration of “Sunshine Week,” which promotes government accountability and transparency. Going back to ancient history – the 2008 presidential elections – transparency was a big issue championed by Obama, in some ways a reaction […]
Raise Your Glass
Though we’re still in the midst of a deluge of midterms and essays and a confusing stroke of on and off weather, this past weekend was a fun one. It was the Jewish holiday of Purim, and this year, I celebrated right here in Queens. The festivities were organized by the Chabbad of Queens. We […]
