I just found out that one of my beloved professors just lost her husband on Thursday.  He’s been battling with cancer for about a year now, and finally lost…I just can’t imagine what she must be going through.  I mean, she’s got three young boys, she’s barely in her 40s, and now she’s a single mom. I want to send her a card, but everytime I try to write...

Around this time last year I was getting ready to head to Brazil, where I proceeded to lay out on the beach for hours at a time, shop in open markets, eat fresh fruit, learn Portuguese (okay, some) and get tan (okay, not really - burned). All I can think about now is how I would get so much more out of that experience now than I did then and how I really want to go back. It’s such a...

Let me just say that it took me literally about 7 hours to install my internet on my old HP computer. And it took me 3 minutes to install it on my new Mac. Coincidence? No.

Why I hate technology so damn much.
So I have this huge paper due today for abnormal psych.  My printer at home is dead (surprise?) so I saved it to a disk AND e-mailed it to myself (“just in case”) so that I could print it out at school.  Except when I tried to open it from either source, a lovely error message came up, saying “PSY 331 schizophrenia paper.doc cannot be found.”  What does that MEAN?? Where IS...
