Virginia Tech. Shooting*
I’m very tired as I’ve had a long day of teaching and studying for my 2 exams tomorrow, but I wanted to take a moment to write about what happened at Virginia Tech. University this morning. The details of the event are still slowly being put together, but essentially a man first gunned down students in a dorm, then a few hours later killed upwards of 30 people in an engineering wing of the university before his own death (it is still unknown whether it was at his own hand or through police gunfire). My heart just goes out to the families of those students who were injured or killed…

One Down, Four to Go*
Well, it’s official. Exam season has begun. I wrote my first one this morning and I think it went really well.

The weather has been really gross the past couple of days… it’s been SNOWING. I woke up yesterday to…

I don’t know if I’ve ever written about my toilet saga… it’s really an exciting story though, and it looks like it’s going to have a REALLY happy ending!! The Hubster and I have pretty much had problems in our bathroom since we moved into our apartment. As you know, we recently had the faucet replaced to our shiny new one that I love! But that was only after we endured a tap that never shut off and a broken one for a little while when our landlord attempted to fix it. Anyway. So, the toilet. It’s been giving…
