I am always bewildered by the stupidity of others. Specifically, I am talking about Wisteria. She is clueless but thinks she's brilliant. Amazing. One of our profs felt sorry for her last year and basically handed her a project to take the lead on. This prof is one of our best so it really was a golden opportunity for Wisteria. Any moderately intelligent human being would have taken this chance and run with it, but not Wisteria. She took the opportunity but then dropped the ball and now blames everyone but herself. Worst of all is that she cannot understand why the prof replaced ...

Well, I have finally shaken Whisper! I found out that my new assistantship assignment is to one the department's most powerful professors (who I hear is a raging bitch) and I couldn't be happier.

Imagine the damage that I can do to ...

My mom spent the entire graduation standing on her side of the stadium just so she could get pictures of Amber walking. Poor Christopher was so bored (well, to tell the truth, so was I, but I have more practice at acting interested. I wonder how differently I’ll look at a graduation when it’s my kids graduating…). He doodled throughout most of the ceremony ...

Dear Diary, (sigh) where to begin… For those of you who are about to start Graduate School, this is a post for you. I never thought that I would do my masters, and as my undergraduate degree came to an end earlier than expected, I decided that the best option would be to work as a graduate assistant and continue my education. I am so very happy I did, and I highly recommend that even if you are doubting which path you should take, continue with school - an education is something no one can take away from you. It is well worth the ...
