I can’t decide what I think about 6 weeks – whether it’s short or long. In the context of study abroad or any sort of vacation, 6 weeks can take forever. Each of the first 6 weeks in Tanzania felt like a lifetime. But here, there are 6 weeks left of the school year and [...]

Advent Conspiracy
I am home! And it is snowing outside. It’s beautiful. Welcome to the Christmas season!
I’m pretty overwhelmed right now, as I try to get back into life here. I visited St. Olaf on Sunday night and nearly drowned in the amount of information I had to process immediately. I was fully aware that time passes [...]

“now”
May 25, 2008
I realize I haven’t written since St. Patrick’s Day…but I don’t really feel bad about it. I have this complex relationship with blogging.

It snowed! Not much, but it was a [...]

Old Australian Ways
a while ago, i found myself reading a poem to a couple international friends of mine and was amazed to hear their comments afterwards. they said it was calming; lilting; sweet. they mentioned that the english language – with its even tone – sounded wonderful in verse.
i do love to read poetry for [...]

i miss the ladybugs
remember the days when a ladybug was a rare and cool sight? i remember studying ladybugs in elementary school science classes – learning that no, the number of spots on its back is not indicative of its age and that its wings are actually under that red shell – and making a beautiful sculpey model [...]

bobby pin
I live on the top floor of my dorm and there is a small balcony just outside my window which we can’t technically go out on cause it’s against the rules (and reasonably dangerous considering its size). Likewise, students are not allowed on the roofs of the building. Our roof is slate and [...]
