  1. Speed

    This was a short essay written in my First-Year Seminar, "USA: The Natural Experiment." It's basically "how did we screw up the environment and where do we go from here?" We study the environment from historical, economic, political, conservational, (et cetera) perspective. In the first week of class, we took a bike ride around town and came upon a tiny, abandoned kitten.

  2. Please Leave a Message After the Beep

    So, I'll not be online much until next week.

    I've written 7 of the over 30 pages I'll have to write over the next few days. Several smaller essays, a research paper, and others..

    I have a test in Intro to Biblical Lit to study for.

    All before Friday.




    And I'm working 3 jobs.

  5. Thanks for the adventure :)

    I went with my friend, Marc. He's three years older than I, and we've been very good friends since I was in sixth grade. He's like the big brother my parents were never able to give me. First we looked around at the remains of the nearby Spanish fort San Marcos, and found some pottery, plate chips, and bone by the water. It has no archaeological value because it was not in a layer of sediment, but we did not keep it, anyway. We had to kayak a little over a mile downriver, and against the incoming ...
