Greetings, Internet! The self-isolation continues, and the ukulele obsession is only growing. Really curious to see where that all goes. I promise that I’m doing other, non-ukulele-related things (you know, dissertation and all). But I’m not sure how long the stay-at-home order is actually going to last (I mean, sure, May 15th is technically the … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 5
Greetings, Internet! The self-isolation continues, although now I have a ukulele YouTube channel! Go like and subscribe if that’s the sort of thing you’d be interested in. And yes, I will continue to shamelessly plug this channel for the remainder of my quarantine posts. You have been warned. Also, I should seriously invest in a … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 4
Greetings, Internet! Hope everyone is having a delightful time learning how to become introverts. It takes a bit of practice, but someday you'll love the great indoors. Daily entries below, followed by a ukulele cover of "Such Great Heights." My quarantine covers playlist is growing, and if you feel so inclined, you can watch everything … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 3
Greetings, Internet! How’s everyone doing? I’m still in the process of feeling like this is grad student life, even though I know for sure that this is not the life of a typical grad student. I can’t stop watching the news, even though the news is bleak (or, I guess, especially because the news is … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 2
Greetings, Internet! It seems that staying home is the name of the game, so here I stay. I do not believe I have COVID-19, nor do I think I’ve been exposed to it directly, however I am technically “high risk” on account of my quadriplegia. I sometimes forget that I am a quadriplegic, but then … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 1
Greetings, Internet! I just got all four wisdom teeth out (partly because it seemed like less of a hassle in the long run, and partly because I am a glutton for punishment), and so I thought, “Now’s a good time to update the blog.” This post is inspired by the Sex and the City episode, … Continue reading The Dissertation Registry
Greetings, internet! I was supposed to write this post back in July, because that would have marked my ten-year anniversary at Push to Walk, my gym. Now that it’s February and this post is way overdue, however, we’re just going to call Push to Walk my Valentine. And every Valentine deserves a love letter. Dear … Continue reading A Valentine for My Gym
Greetings, Internet! I thought about doing one of those paragraph-long Facebook posts that recaps 2010-2019, but then I thought, “I have a blog! I should do one of those posts where I ramble and get all introspective for several paragraphs.” Also, one of my new year’s resolutions is to publish at least twelve blog posts … Continue reading The Friendship Decade
Greetings, Internet! Somehow I’ve managed to neglect my blog even though I am taking currently zero classes. Go me. I moved to Manhattan near the end of August, and reconfiguring my work-life balance has been a bit of a process. I’m used to having certain mindsets in university compared with home settings, and they aren’t … Continue reading Prospectus-ing in NYC
Greetings, internet! Here I am to shake my fist at the entity that is the Princeton Housing Office (or whatever they go by; quite frankly I am too annoyed with them to spare the minute it would take to look up their official name). For the past two years, I have lived in university housing … Continue reading The Quest for Accessible Housing
