I wrapped up my last final on Wednesday night, saying goodbye to a semester of pretty sweet academics: five-person classes, veteran professors, and miraculously generous grades on so many papers. The workload was intense, but I wouldn’t have it any other way, and I’m so much closer to the top-notch friends in my study groups [...]

After all of the major papers I finished last week, I’m pretty zen about finals, if a little exhausted from all of the study guides I’ve made. I’m only taking three, and they are very nicely spaced (this Friday, next Monday, next Wednesday.) I gave myself a lot of the weekend to relax, which included [...]

I returned to Ithaca amidst a flurry of paper-writing last night, putting the finishing touches on the first of – wish I were kidding – six major assignments I have to hand in this week. No sweat, as usual: a few are close to completion, and I know I will get them all written and [...]

I left my Labor Law study group at 3 a.m. on a Saturday morning (!), trudging back to Bethe with a fairly good version of my monstrous ten-page legal research memo finished. Most of the people who are out and about at that hour are returning from parties and looking good; I was rocking an [...]

It was a big week, though certainly not as big as the previous one. On Wednesday, my friends and I signed a lease for an apartment off-campus next year! Finding a place to live was pure turmoil from the first night someone mentioned, “so hey, what should we do next year?” Different people, different preferences: [...]

My ILR table inside William Keeton House on West Campus just finished watching President-Elect Obama (I totally had to backspace over “Senator” right there!) deliver his acceptance speech. I have to admit that I’ve never heard ILR kids this silent. Calling the last four hours of watching returns in the Keeton dining hall “surreal” would [...]

Hello American prospective students, This is “Mich,” Patricia’s awesome and cute and slightly hyperactive personal-space-sharer (aka friend). We’re coming to you live from Keeton House, which is where I live on West Campus, in the immediate aftermath of the 2008 Presidential Elections! I spent all day today (after class, of course) downtown at the Obama [...]

I’m back in the swing of things after a surprisingly quiet Halloween weekend. I haven’t been one for dressing up for quite a while, though I have to admit that my mom sewed some pretty spectacular costumes back in the mid-90s. Accordingly, a few of us picked Friday afternoon to tour some off-campus housing for [...]

Seemingly defying all laws of physics, assisted by strong winds, rain in Ithaca sometimes has a knack for falling horizontally. Shocked as I continue to be that this part of the country experiences “wintry mix” in October, which is not a winter month by most people’s classification, I sat down in my American Political Thought [...]

It’s feeling like its going to be one of those awesome weekends when it’s only just begun. I went to my first Cornell hockey game of this season last night, a truly beautiful victory over the University of Western Ontario. I come from a football family, and ice hockey is not a big deal in [...]
