Where do you see yourself in five years? This is the question that is inevitably asked of every college student at one point or another. Some are asked as rising freshmen. Some are asked as exiting graduates. Many are even asked again once they interview for that job they’ve been working so hard to get. … Continue reading Five Years

Question of the Week #196
You have arranged an evening with a friend, but on the day preceding your date a special opportunity arises to do something much more exciting. How would you handle the situation? Knowing myself the way I do... I'd probably do neither. At least, I'd want to do neither. Being social? Doing exciting things? That doesn't sound … Continue reading Question of the Week #196
What Immune System?
I had a lot of plans this weekend. I was planning to move (again). I was planning to donate blood. I was planning to write blog posts. Those plans have changed. Because I'm sick (again). Here's the thing... I'm back to working in a school. If you've been keeping up with my blog posts for … Continue reading What Immune System?
Hopes, Dreams, and Plans
It's funny... the things we choose to look back on. Some of those things, we look back on not because of choice, but because of coincidence.

They didn't really … Continue reading To the Future

I happened to mention that I have this tendency to arrive perpetually early to just about everything. A friend of mine said that she would like to have that problem. I'm here … Continue reading How To Be Perpetually Early

The one that I would like to share on this blog may come as no surprise to anyone reading this. I want to be a published author. Not just on … Continue reading Question of the Week #51
Day Twenty Nine
My Hopes, Dreams, and Plans for the Next 365 Days Hmm... hopes... dreams... plans... That sounds like a lot of work. I mean, you wanna make God laugh, tell Him your plans, am I right? Look, I'm not a fan of making plans. I don't want to make wild claims that I'll be living in … Continue reading Day Twenty Nine
The Plan
John Lennon said, "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans." I pretty much feel that I lead a fairly simple life. I'm not one to go through each day and plan out what's going to happen. In the past, I've tried to do this. I even went to the store and … Continue reading The Plan
