It’s been a while since I’ve written a post about my misfortunate cooking adventures, which is really quite sad because now that I’m off in England being an adult and stuff I actually cook quite often. Correction: I prepare all of my meals now. I make sure I eat three two at some point each day.…

I have been in Colchester for five weeks now. October has come and gone, and now we’re nearing the halfway point of the autumn term. During my first week in Colchester, I remember feeling a bit disoriented. I was in Colchester, but I was spending most of my time talking to people back home. I’ve…

Yesterday was a long day. It started at 9:00 a.m. and it didn’t end until 11:00 p.m. Crammed into those 14 hours were two seminars, 1 study group (that I somehow ended up leading), a presentation I was sure I bombed, and a neverending stack of papers to read through. I think I ate at…

Life is weird. The last time I published a post on this site was on June 3rd, just over three months ago. Just to recap what was going on in my life in that moment, here’s the mini revelation I had while I was writing said post: I was so busy setting my eyes on…

Tonight I met an old friend and her almost two-year-old daughter for an early dinner. We don’t get to spend a lot of time together, but the moments we do have are special. There we were, sitting at our booth, talking of relationships and jobs and the future, intermittently attempting to prevent her daughter from…

For the few of you who clicked on this because you were hoping I was going to spill my guts about some gossip-filled love story, I’m sorry. I don’t have a whole lot of experience in romantic relationships. I don’t really have a lot of experience in many other types of relationships, either. I mean,…
