Sorry for having fallen off the metaphorical map these past few weeks. Even though I’m having an awesome time living in RoPo this summer, I haven’t really done anything that I felt was quote unquote blog worthy. There’s just been a whole lot of working (see: the double shift, from 3 pm – 7:30 am, [...]
“The Dark Knight Rises” hits theaters in two days, and I am one of millions eager to see it. My friends and I are already planning an outing for next week, which means the anticipation will build till then. Summer started out slowly, but after a month, things picked up, and getting to see the [...]
Having been in Chicago for more than a month now, I can really begin to understand what everyone means when they say: “You must live in Chicago during the summer.” I thought my home town of St. Louis was an interesting place to spend my summer breaks; however it pales in comparison to its big [...]

My recent adventures have kept me from posting a blog last week, but I am happy to say that I have plenty to write about to cover not one, but two posts this week. Yay! Last week, my mom treated me to Cirque du Soleil: Dralion, and any dream I have recently created for myself [...]
