Stuff I Want To Do When I’m Done My MBA
As I’ve been talking about the end of my MBA program being nigh, I find myself constantly defending my claim that “I’m not going to do anymore school! I swear!” My friends and colleagues are skeptical of this claim ((I’ve had basically the same conversation with, no exaggeration, at least a dozen people in the […] →Read more
I love these cookies
I’m not usually one for packaged cookies, but these are freaking delicious. And they help fuel me for homework-filled nights (such as tonight)! →Read more
Stuff Cats Like
My little furry house guests have gone home. I have to admit, it was pretty nice having those little furballs around the house – so cute and cuddly. And they didn’t even try to eat my frogs, so I’m seriously thinking that maybe I should get myself one. ((I’ll give it some more thought over […] →Read more
Sick :(
Back when I was a student the first time around, I often got sick after the end of exams. My theory was that during exams I was stressed out, so my cortisol levels were high and one effect of cortisol is to suppress your immune response.

Half Marathon #9 – Oh So Fine

One Day Left!
No, it’s not one day left of school for me (though I can see how you might have thought that). It’s only one day left to support The Tyee in time to get some awesome political paper dolls ((Still waiting for mine, but trust that I will post some fun stuff once I get them…. […] →Read more
Happy PhDiversary To Me!
As detailed in a previous posting, Nov 16 marks the anniversary of the day I received my PhD, according to my transcript. The convocation ceremony for my PhD was Nov 22, 2006 and my current theory ((Translation: I’m too lazy to actually investigate this.)) is that Nov 16 marks the day that Senate voted to […] →Read more
Oh Yeah, I’m Running a Half Marathon on Sunday
You know your life is in a strange place when the 21.1 km race you are planning to run is the least stressful thing you’ve got going on. I’ve managed to have what is probably my worst training ever for a half – I started late, because I was in Europe for almost all of […] →Read more
