New Job
My new job is kicking my butt. It was a rushed hiring process but I now work in the dietary department of the hospital where my brother works. I started this past Monday, November 23rd.

Forgotten Library Finds
My university library was/is awesome. Browsing shelves without a time limit was my go-to reward for surviving exams. I occasionally took pictures of books (back then I had no interest of keeping track of all of the books I read; I only wanted to put their words into my brain). Anyway, I found a handful … Continue reading Forgotten Library Finds

Hey, Writer, Have You Done This?
One Friday night after final exams in graduate school, I had a plan. I planned to write for several hours before bed (which I rarely did during the week because I have a habit of losing track of time when I write), get some decent sleep, wake up to run 5 miles at first light, … Continue reading Hey, Writer, Have You Done This?
