I know I haven’t written very many posts on here lately, and I just wanted to stop in and say that I have not forgotten about you guys. I am still alive and, for the most part, doing very well. The countdown to Oxford is winding down much faster than I was anticipating, and the…

Any kind of blogger, writer, or student faced with a term paper knows all too well what it feels like to have a staring contest with a blank screen. You know what I’m talking about, right? That white screen with the ever-taunting blinking cursor with nothing but a one-inch margin before it.
