In my basement, rocking sweatpants, eating leftovers, and watching the Redskins lose: exactly how I envisioned spending my Winter Break. I made it home just a few hours before the Blizzard of ’09 unleashed its fury on the Washington area. I did my fair share of shoveling and digging out cars, which I hadn’t done in years. [...]

Title doesn’t seem so bad, right? At the risk of jinxing myself, I’m going to say that this exam period is shaping up to be my least stressful ever. All of my term papers are finished, and my three exams are spaced out pretty evenly over this week and next. My middle exam is going [...]

The toughest week of the semester gave way to some of the most fun I’ve had this year. Last Thursday, I went to see Cornell’s performance of Romeo and Juliet. Our seats were amazing, thanks to the fact that we are friends with Romeo. As someone who can neither sing nor dance nor act, I [...]

Initially, I wasn’t thrilled about spending three hours of a busy Monday night at a teambuilding activity. I’m pretty slammed from now until Thanksgiving. Not to mention that I already know and love this group, the Student Advisory Council to the Cornell Tradition, the leadership body of my work and service fellowship. I didn’t think [...]

Living so close to campus is just as awesome as it sounds, but the two-minute commute to campus can be dangerous when you underestimate how long it takes you to walk places and oversleep. I am a master at both of these, especially during this insane year. I’ve never been a morning person, and I [...]

Having Homecoming and Trustee Weekend back-to-back this year was fantastic… and seriously prevented me from getting real work done two weekends in a row! As I’m getting closer and closer to graduation, the unfinished items on my 161 Things to Do Before You Graduate list start to loom large. And when the weather is nice [...]

If the true test of a vacation’s success is how little work one does, my Fall Break this year was one of the best. As I discovered on Monday night while packing to head back to school, I hadn’t even opened the backpack full of reading I brought home. No major consequences, though, I just [...]

My third Cornell birthday was wonderful, as most celebrations that last for three days tend to be. We kicked it off with the ILR Open House on Saturday, when the School opens its doors to high school seniors from around the country. I truly love talking to new students and getting them excited about ILR. [...]

I’m in New York City for the first time in years, and what do I do? Spend some quality time at the New York Public Library. It’s beautiful, and I think my friend Michelle was actually being serious when she said she wanted to get married here. Catherwood is still home for me, but I [...]

It seems like I only settled on my schedule last week, and that’s probably because I did just settle on my schedule last week… thank you, long Add/Drop period! But just when I’ve gotten comfortable, I’m already facing two prelims and a paper? You’d think I’d be better at this by the third time around. [...]
