Greetings, Internet! Hope everyone’s doing as well as they can. I got drunk and ordered a lot of chocolate, finally learned how to properly harmonize, and watched a lot of the DNC. Daily summaries below! Day One Hundred and Fifty-Five (8/14/20) And I’m down to 30 subscribers. Alas. Did arm workouts while watching “The Great … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 23
Greetings, Internet! Hope everyone’s doing as well as they can. Everything is chaos, but I guess we can’t be that surprised. Anyway, this week I binged a season of “The Great British Baking Show,” went outside for the second time in a hundred and twenty-one days (!!), and learned a bit of how to use … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 18
Greetings, Internet! Hope everyone’s hanging in there as much as they can. I’m still in my apartment, but my wheelchair tire is finally fixed! I also created a SoundCloud account (where I now have a demo of an original song, but it is through private link only, so message me if you’d like to hear … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 17
Greetings, Internet! Yet another week has passed in which I have not left the apartment. This may have something to do with general concern over the air in my tires (I really need to fill them, and also see if there’s an issue with my tire). Music has taken over my life, but in a … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 16
Greetings, Internet! Hope everyone’s staying as safe and sane as possible. We’ve passed the one-hundred day mark, so, break out the confetti (or something, I don’t know, I eventually just treated myself to a pretty bracelet). Oh, and Phase II of NYC reopening is happening, so that’s exciting. I’m kind of enjoying my rockstar hair … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 15
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! 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! 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! The title of this post might seem odd. I did burn my Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) bridge a couple of years ago, so I might seem a tad hypocritical when I say that I’m grateful for what I got out of my Ed.M. degree in Higher Education. Indeed, over the past … Continue reading Dear HGSE, You Weren’t All That Bad
