  • Day 96 – Snow, Exams, and Political Essays

    What do all of these things have in common? My day today! First of all, the outcome of the snowstorm in the photos I posted last night was about 4 inches of wet, heavy snow on top of everything. We had several large tree branches fall around campus due to the weight of the snow.…

  • Day 94 – Both Sadness and Hope

    This article deeply scares me. A part of the article, however, gives me hope: “In Seoul, on Saturday, more than 100 anti-North Korea activists had burned a miniature model of a Taepodong 2 missile and clashed with police, according to South Korean media reports.” It shows that at least some people will stand up for…

  • Day 91 – April Fool’s Day

    I did not pull any April Fool’s Day pranks today; in fact, I forgot about it until my econ professor passed out an exam at the beginning of class, which is a week earlier than it is scheduled for. Anyway, as soon as I remembered, I went online to Google’s home page to look for…
