Who Says It’s Over?
I don't feel like a very patriotic person these days. I'm not proud of America—neither now nor of our past. I don't really understand what American culture is and, when I do, it makes me sad and angry to think that foreigners associate Americans with loud, pushy, short-sentenced, nouveau riche, white men. At a Gillian …

New Mexico, Land of Enchantment, Land of Circles

They’re little circular perennials, roots dug deep and hibernating all winter long, waiting for a warm week to reappear. I stayed in Abiquiú, New …

An assignment in one of my classes required that I choose an outdoor "site," which I am to visit on a regular basis, take notes, and then journal about it later. I've been visiting the Cache …
Announcement: Grad School!
