Full Circle. The End of My First Year.
May. 2, 2011—Things have truly come full circle. I am currently cruising at an altitude of 35,000 ft as I draft my last post of the semester. For those of you who don’t know, before I started blogging for Inside ‘Dores, I actually kept a personal. I started this blog back in August, on my way to...

Food for Thought
Apr. 27, 2011—I’m officially done with one of my four classes! I’m about to turn in my research paper for my American Studies writing seminar Food for Thought (I think it’s actually the same one Erica took last semester).
