Instead of flying out to Shanghai to see my family, I opted spend the holidays here in New York – where I have a blissful week and a half off from work, not to mention the fact that I’ve extricated myself from this semester’s academic obligations as of last Thursday. The social dynamic of the […]

It’s the End…of Finals Week
Recipe of the Week: Ground Turkey and Pasta Inhale. Now Exhale. Another deep breath in, and another out. So my first finals week turned out to be interesting – sort of, not really. I’m just glad it’s over. Actually it was kind of horrifying, especially after my psychology debacle. There I was, ten minutes […]
Final Numbers.
With 32 courses done, (3 in a foreign country) and 4 courses awaiting grades, I feel ready to check out from school … ready to graduate? But alas, finals await. May your final grades average to produce beautiful “A”s for you all – thank you for following this semester. Merry Christmas!
IIIIIT’S FINALS WEEK
Fast backward a couple weeks ago and I swear to you, I had a plan. I HAD A PLAN. I blinked and it’s the first day of finals. Honestly I can pretty much predict for you and me both how these next few days will play out. There will be that one final where I […]

As long as you manage your time wisely, the studying and last minute assignments can be done quickly!” Five hours into anxiety induced […]

Tales of the City
Hello! I’ve returned from a brief hiatus. Not that I was out of town or anything – I haven’t left New York since the summer, save for a brief apple-picking excursion. Funny how time can expand and contract like that. November felt excruciatingly long, just as this eventful year has breezed past in the blink […]
T-Minus 3 Days
Ladies and Gents, we are T-minus 3 days, I repeat, T-minus 3 days away from The Last Day Of Classes. What’s the current situation? Let’s see: Term Paper: Submitted Group Presentation: Rocked Third Exam: Bubbled In Missing Assignments: That would be a negative. All that’s left are four finals in the span of three days […]
