‘Student Life’
All Aboard!
Sep. 8, 2012—In my last post, I talked a ridiculous amount about food, mostly because school hadn't yet pinned me to my desk or a seat in the Biomed Library, which I fondly refer to as the Eskimo building. Eskind and Eskimo are similar, okay?
What a Great Weekend

What will arrive in semester five…
Aug. 21, 2012—By the end of the day tomorrow, I will have completed more of my undergraduate schooling than I have left. That’s a scary thought.
