So it’s spring break, but that doesn’t mean complete freedom to do as one pleases. We might try to put our work load to the back of our mind, but it’s still there. So when you find yourself bored with nothing to do, why not start on some of those things that you need to […]

The Researcher Writer
One thing that inevitably slows me down in my writing is research. I work across multiple genres and I am working on a number of projects simultaneously so you would think that trying to finish those projects alone would be enough to keep me busy. But I have this fascination with the past that I […]
Revisiting the Periodic Table
This week on the PBS show NOVA, David Pogue, a New York Times tech columnist, hosted a two hour program titled “Hunting The Elements”. Being the funny goofy person that he is, he made the episode very entertaining filled with fascinating science explained. It is definitely worth a watch for those who have Periodic Table […]
barren streams
Magnificent trust Scandalous, tongs – ice cube scrapers Disastrous supermercado items. Aisles floating with bodies Detached, re-hashed shopping lists.

SPEAKING IN FINALITIES< FORMALITIES < INCESSANTRIES Reminders of dysfunctional, quaint neighborhoods, tainted by broken glass, tagged stop signs and empty […]

Next time, I really need to perfect my skills throwing and glazing skills. Rumors are that I may be ceramics club president next semester, so I’m slightly nervous about […]
“Observative”
Doesn’t that word seem strange to anyone else? Observative. It’s like a cross between ‘conservative’ and ‘observant’. My browser is underlining it in red, telling me it’s misspelled even though I know it’s not. It’s a word that’s been annoying me for about a week now, because it’s just so odd. Let me start from […]
The Tiger’s Wife
I recently made my first visit to Hunter College for a reading by Téa Obreht, author of The Tiger’s Wife, a book that was nominated last year for the National Book Award and a book that received the 2011 Orange Prize for Fiction. She is a young writer who has been on the best “20 […]

I don’t really have anything prevail to say about school right now, besides the fact that mid-terms week is almost finally over. *fist pumps* I’m not ecstatic to admit that my classes are still relatively too easy… I don’t feel challenged enough to do better. This is really stupid of me to complain, but it […]
